In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear          spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly with confidence and without hesitation.           , we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct.
There is no easy way to success          language learning.          good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only           (memorize)rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their           (mean), studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language.
      we are satisfied with only a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of            (advise) for those        are studying a new language.

The people related then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through.   their amazement, they found that it was effective in trapping all the articles.   (encourage), the team conducted     experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.

When he was a little boy, Christopher Cockerell once noticed his mother turning the wheel of her sewing machine with her hand. “Won’t it work quickly if a machine      (turn) the wheel for you?” he asked. “I suppose it will.” said his mother, without paying any attention to him. Christopher knew she always had a lot of work and that she was       stubborn that he could hardly do anything to change       mind. But he wanted to help. In his bedroom there was a toy steam engine       (buy) by his father as a gift to him. “I will make better use of it,” little Christopher said to himself. So, when his mother was not using her sewing machine, he decided to fix the toy steam engine onto it. When he finished    (do) it, he was quite pleased, thinking his mother would like it. “Very clever,” his mother said when she saw it. But then she sat down and went on turning the wheel     hand. “I     (work) like this for too many years,” she explained. Christopher felt very      (disappoint). He couldn’t understand his mother’s     (behave).
This teaches Christopher a lesson that anyone      tries to improve anything has to learn: many people don’t like new ideas.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible --- and it can be surprisingly      (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research        (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show       (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people        (feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something         gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an        (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in        same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean        (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things        the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to        (you) from that person’s point of view.
