A
To cultivate(
培养
)
one
’
s taste in English prose
(
散文
)
，
t
he most effective way is to read
English books one may be at a loss to
choose the appropriate
books
，
especially as
a beginner.I would like to share some
of my experience.
My first English
novel was Jane Austen
’
s
Pride
and
Prejudice
，
recommended by many
English teachers and professors as an
ideal book for English I had great difficulty in
understanding the
novel
，
let alone enjoying
’
s not the vocabulary that
troubled me
，
but rather
the way Austen constructs
sentences
，
and her way of
thinking
，
which seemed too
remote to me at
that fading enthusiasm
was much recovered after reading
Hemingway
’
s novel
Fare
w
ell
to
Arms
.I
particularly
liked
his
concise(
简明
)
and
lively
my
first
suggestion
is
，
as
a
beginner
，
you
’
d
better
choose
contemporary
novels
instead
of
classical
can
easily
engage yourself in
reading
，
get fun out of
it
，
and gradually build up
confidence
，
I do not mean to
exclude(
排斥
)
classical
novels
ly
，
the
second
reading
of
Pride
and
Prejudice
greatly pleased me (probably the result
of my improved English
comprehension)
．
It is only
that
classical
novels
are
less
accessible
to
beginners
due
to
their
language
styles
and
social
background.
However
，
reading
novels is not the only way to improve your h
essays can
at once inform
you
，
entertain best example
is Bertrand Russell
’
s
language is
plain
，
yet you
cannot help feeling the elegance and the unique
sense of simple language
enables
his
philosophy(
哲理
)
within
the
reach
of
ordinary
comes
my
second
suggestion
—
essays
are necessary.
My last advice is never
to follow other
’
s opinions
blindly
，
however famous or
influential
the person might a saying
goes
，
one
man
’
s meat is another
man
’
s that in
mind
，
we
are
sure
to
find
our
favorite
writers
through
reading
and
develop
our
fine
taste
in
English.

B
A man had a
little daughter
—
an only and
much-
loved girl was very lovely and
day
the
girl
would
sing
and
dance
for
lived
together
was
very proud
of er talking about his
daughter
，
he always thought
he was the happiest
father in the
lived for her
—
she was his
when one day she became seriously
ill
，
he became like a crazy
man
，
moving heaven and earth
to bring about her restoration to health.
His best efforts
，
however
，
proved unavailing
and the child felt his own life was
gone with his little father became a
bitter recluse(
隐居者
)
，
shutting himself away
from his many friends and refusing
every activity that might restore his confidence
and bring him
back to his normal one
night he had a dream.
He
was
in
heaven
，
witnessing
a
grand
pageant
of
all
the
little
child
were
marching in a line
passing by the Great White white-
robed
angelic child carried a
noticed that
one child
’
s candle was not
he saw that the child with the
dark
candle was his own little g to
her
，
he seized her in his
arms
，
kissed her
tenderly
，
and then
asked
，
“
How is it<
/p>
，
darling
，
that your candle alone is unlighted
？”
“
Daddy
，
they often
relight it
，
but
your tears always put it
out.
”
Just
then
he
awoke
from
his
lesson
was
crystal
clear
，
and
its
effects
were
that hour on he was not a
recluse
，
but communicated
freely and cheerfully with
his former
friends and longer would his
darling
’
s candle be
extinguished by his
useless tears.
