and write. Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went
to England in 1902, English people couldn't understand a word they said and they couldn't understand what
was said to them. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going
out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
Speaking, of course, can't go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you
must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you
don't listen carefully, you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it's to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and
shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to
write it in clear lively language.
Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly,
by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you
meet with new words, don't look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. You may
not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts,
their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you'll never finish a book.
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and
geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign
language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language
and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.

C. the stone is too big
D. the birds are blind enough
One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.
1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”
2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”
3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”
You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.
