You get more time to focus on (关注) words. When a 1 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 beginners of English. You can read a 2 story at a time. Attention length is very important for learning. And the ability to finish the story gives you more time to 3 it. Short stories are written to give you more information with less effort. 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 4 seems to end. You can share them easily in a group. Since short stories can be 5 in any place, they are perfect for book clubs and learning circles. You can focus more on ideas. Language is 6 about words and more about the meanings behind them. If you spend all your time learning 7 and grammar, you will never be able to speak a language smoothly because you will have little to 8 . Short stories give you the chance to understand big 9 in a short text.
