Banked Cloze
The Internet has made English learning
much easier. English learners used to be (1)
(obliged)
to
spend
their
time
in
libraries
looking
for
the
books
that
would
help
them
in
their
language
studies. It was
very inconvenient because a lot of materials could
only be found in (2) (tedious)
and
uninteresting
textbooks and
readers. But
today
authentic
content on
a
variety
of
subjects
is
only
a
click
away.
This
is
especially
(3)
(beneficial)
for
those
who
wants
to
learn
English
earnestly.
In order to
achieve fluency in English, you need to be
comfortable using at least 10,000 words.
The (4) (abundant) materials on the
Internet make it possible for you to choose
appropriate content
to read and listen
to. These materials can be (5) (adjusted) to
your level if
you input some
key
words in the search engine. But how
can you remember the (6) (bulk) of unfamiliar
words?
In this case, the Internet (7)
(evidently)makes it easier to learn vocabulary.
You can use online
dictionaries
to
instantly
find
out
their
grammatical
(8)
(functions)
and
the
specific
meaning
of
these
words. The Internet helps you to (9) (efficiently)
accumulate vocabulary based on lively and
interesting
language
content,
which
greatly
reduces
your
(10)
(distress)
caused
by
inability
to
remember the new words. The efficiency
of this vocabulary learning is one of the reasons
why the
Internet has become an ideal
place to learn English.
