When you are learning English, you find it stupid to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your native(本国的) language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a very unusual order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. Let’s see the differences between the following sentences.

I visited my old teacher only in the city.(我仅仅在城里看望了我以前的老师。)

(A)I visited only my old teacher in the city.

I have a light desk.(我有一张很轻的书桌。)

(B)I have a desk light.

So, when you are learning English, you must try your best to grasp(领会) the spirit of the language and use it as a native speaker does.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it. Secondly, we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to compose(创作) sentences that are grammatically(语法地) correct. Fourthly, we must know how to put sentences into paragraphs, so as to write a good letter or composition.

There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory(记忆力) is of great help but it is not simply enough to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning long lists of words and their meanings by heart. We must learn words not by themselves but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use.” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

(A)

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.

English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and“tea”came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word　 “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sello tape”(透明胶带) was a name given by the company that first made the product.
