　　When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence“How do you do?”as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, 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（掌握）the rules（规则）for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listeners can't understand the speakers' sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

　　“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”

　　“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”

　　When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit（精神实质）of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

　　Mr. Williams was always a very careful driver. One evening he was driving home from work carefully as usual. He came to a crossing. It had a“slow”sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road. He looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then he drove across without stopping at all.

　　At once he heard a police whistle, so he stopped his car to the side of the road. The policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pencil in his hand and said,“you didn't stop at that crossing.”

　　“But the sign there doesn't say stop,”answered Mr. Williams.“It just says slow. And I did go slow.”

　　The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said,“Oh, sorry! I am in the wrong street.”
