　　 　　When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or　　 for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For　　 I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story　　 than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember　　 the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For　　 instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the　　 story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and　　 cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in　　 the speech of a 13 character.

　　 　　 　　 　　

　　 Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and　　 so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)　　 about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of　　 English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of　　 stories or 18 is called the general reader.

　　 　　 　　 　　

　　 As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.　　 Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21　　 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.　　 Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;　　 negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in　　 expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent　　 copying is a help to 25 by heart.
