He dr

20、ew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if h

21、e really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other peoples rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the ver

22、y same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced y

Trust to your own powersG When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence

27、“How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language. Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order

28、in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners cant understand the speakers sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.”

29、 “Only she likes apples.” “Ive seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.” When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实际) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

32、mes different order of words has a different meaning D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different ( )4. “She only likes apples,” A.is the same as “Only she likes apple”. B. is different from “Only she likes apple”. C. means “She likes fruit except apples”. D.

33、means “She doesnt like apples”. ( )5. Which is the best title for this passage? A. Different Orders, Different Meanings B. How to speak English? C. How to Put English into Our Own Language? D.
