VI. Reading Comprehension

① Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There are
some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such
things needs lots of practice. It is never enough simply to “know” something. You must be able
to “do” things with that to know. For example, it is not enough simply to read a book on how to
fly an aeroplane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a
book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The
same is true of learning the piano or learning foreign language. Can you speak English well
without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign
language should know.
