When the communication is difficult, they can get information that is inexact or incomplete by guessing. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的).

There are two layers(层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit, the heat(热量) caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.
