When you are doing extensive reading, you should not be reaching for a dictionary every sentence or even every paragraph

5、 because its main goal is to read for knowledge and pleasure.Through extensive reading, you learn and accumulate knowledge, and gradually become wise and intelligent.

11、in school has some advantages. First, a part-time job brings students more money and helps them to reduce their parents economic burdens.
