Why Short Stories Are Best for English Learning

You get more time to focus on words. When a text is short, you can have more time to learn how every single word is used and what importance it has in the text. This is more useful for those who are     35     (begin) of English. You can read a whole story at a time. Attention length is very important for learning. And the ability to finish a story gives you more time     36     (understand) it. Short stories are written to give you     37     (much)information with less effort (努力).

It is best for consistency (一致性). It is much easier to read one story every day than trying to read a big novel that never     38     (seem) to end.

You can share them easily in a group. Since short stories can     39     (read) in any place, they are perfect for book clubs and learning circles. Most of the time these groups do not work because members have no time to read. Short stories are the perfect way for them.

You can focus more on ideas. Language is less about words and more about the meanings behind them. If you spend all your time     40     (learn) vocabulary and grammar, you will never be able to speak a language     41     (smooth) because you will have little to talk about. Short stones give you the chance to understand big ideas in a short text.

In a word, short stories will not only improve your English reading comprehension (理解力) but also open your mind to different worlds.
