背诵为王第2册 Lesson 04

4   Reading
I think that people should spend more time reading.  Reading has a lot of advantages.  One of them is that it helps you develop reading skills.  You have to read if you want to become a good reader.  In other words,  the more you read,  the better you get at reading. Second,  it helps develop a good vocabulary.  Reading exposes you to new words,  and you see how those words are used. Third,  reading helps you develop good writing skills.  If you read a lot,  it will help you become a good writer. Finally,  you can learn a lot from reading.  You learn about current events from reading newspapers.  A novel that is set in another country will help you learn about that country and how people live there.  There is no limit to what you can learn.  All this makes reading a beneficial activity.

阅读
我认为人们必须花更多的时间阅读。阅读有很多好处。其中一条就是它能够帮助你发展阅读技巧。如果你想成为一个好的读者你必须阅读。换句话说, 你读的越多, 你的阅读技巧也就越好。第二, 阅读可以帮助你扩大词汇量。阅读可以使你接触新的单词, 你可以知道这些词语是如何使用的。第三, 阅读帮助你发展写作技能。如果你读的多, 这会有助于你的写作。最后, 你可以从阅读中学到很多。你可以从阅读报纸中了解时事。一部以其他国家为背景的小说可以帮助你了解这个国家和那里的人民。你所能学到的东西是无限的。所有这些都使阅读成为了一项有益的活动。
