Ⅱ. 七选五
If you’re studying English as a language lover, reading stories will be really rewarding. Learning English by reading stories is a wonderful study method for several reasons.
Take them at your own pace.
Reading stories is one of the most relaxing ways to learn English. 1 You can reread, skip or stop and check sentences at your leisure. Compared to listening, writing and speaking, reading is the only core (基本的) skill that allows you to use English at the most comfortable pace for you.
Make fast progress.
Learning a language is rather difficult, but it is quite rewarding. 2 When you’re feeling frustrated (沮丧的), try reading some English stories. Spend half an hour reading English stories every day, and soon you’ll be able to understand all paragraphs with ease. It’s a beautiful feeling when this starts to happen — no pausing, no translating in your head, just smooth comprehension!
See grammar in action.
One impressive side effect of improving your English reading skills? Your grammar will improve, too. If learners get enough exposure (接触) to the language in its natural forms, they will absorb the rules naturally. Read a lot of English stories, and you’ll get the chance to learn English grammar in a more organic way. 3
Expand your vocabulary.
4 When you discover new words within a story, you get a chance to learn them in the context. Often, you can work out what a new word means without needing to look it up, by spotting the clues in the sentences around it. Because your brain works a little harder to find the meaning of this word than just by referring to a dictionary, it is more likely to “stick” in your brain.
Enjoy English in its most beautiful form.
When people speak of the richness of the English language, they mean the English language as it is used in stories. The writing in English stories is closer to the English you’ve studied in grammar exercises. 5 Writers spend time choosing the right words to use, considering subtle shades of meaning (有细微差别的含义).
