1.Whatever a learner of English reads, he should, in my opinion, regard the language as the main thing.

如果把阅读英文作为英语学习的方式，不管是故事还是小说，更多是要关注它的语言而不是情节。回想自己这一年来读的薄荷英语和其他的电子英文小说，感觉除了故事情节什么也没留下，对于语言的大多停留在理解文本和语法结构上面，其它的很少关注，也没留意什么地道的表达，其实在Eric的读书会里他一直就是这样的观点，学英文顺带学表达，积累词汇，只怪自己没有坚持，还是不能让自己读过的东西成为过眼云烟。

2.Good speaking leads to good writting.

To learn speak is a very good way to learn to write.

The pen cannot go wrong where the tongue goes right.

能说就能写，写不好归咎于自己口语表达不好。有时候发现很简单的表达用英语却表达不出来，原因就在于平时不太注意那些简单的表达，总以为“这个太简单了，谁不会啊!”结果一张嘴，一提笔，全是中式英语。

Many of the ideas and thoughts you often have occassion to express have already been expressed by others before you.Read any page in any book carefully, and you will perhaps find some expressions that will help you to say things. Many such expressions may seem to you to be too simple to deserve much attention, but the fact is that you cannot invent them, nor can you use them unless you have noted them.

3.By knowing a word means konwing its true sense or senses instead of merely konwing one or more of what we call its Han equivalents.

单词不能仅仅局限于他的汉语意思，更多的是要关注他的用法，用法，用法。
