英语秘方——没有单词量，也能读小说！ 8.1

Are you still memorizing textbooks? In China, at least 500 million people have done it, among whom 100 million may work harder and be smarter than you. And then? Many can swim properly on land, but not many can float.

English education, like political education, no one believes what is being taught will be of any use in the future. Still, it must be taught and memorized to pass exams.

If you really want to learn English, follow me, dive into the real ocean of English to learn swimming! Stop posing on dry land!

Like you, I've taken many detours. When I entered college, I was the worst in English. After using "The Secret Formula" for less than two years, I even won the first prize in the Beijing English competition.

"What's the secret of this 'formula'?"

After reading dozens of English novels, how could your English level not skyrocket? Such a simple truth, why didn't you think of it before?

Because before "The Secret Formula," these kinds of English novels were "non-existent" reading material for beginners!

From now on, with "The Secret Formula," you will never be overwhelmed by the amount of vocabulary. Even without a vast vocabulary, you can read extensively. Throw yourself into the sea of English through reading.

"Why 250 words? Why not translate all of them into Chinese?"

Preserving the original structure of English sentences and maintaining the position and role of 250 common words in sentences is the fundamental core of "The Secret Formula." Think about it: What's the difference between English and Chinese? Every language consists of words strung together to form sentences. The difference between languages does not lie in different vocabularies; all languages have common terms. It's how these terms are put together to form sentences that is the fundamental difference between languages.

Look at: Some of the men work in the prison factory where they make mailbags, but I often work in the fields outside.

Firstly, you'll notice that these are English sentences – even if you replace those Chinese words with Japanese, Tibetan, or Greek, they are still English sentences. Clearly, the core of English is not its vocabulary size but how a few hundred common words can string together thousands or tens of thousands of unknown words to form English sentences. Once this foundation is laid, the rest is simply piling up more new vocabulary.

A few hundred common words are like water in the English ocean; more new words are nothing but various things in the ocean. People who can float on this small set of words will gradually get to know the mysteries in the ocean.

I've annotated these readings with new words to help you float in the ocean of a few hundred common English words until one day you'll feel like freely swimming in these basic words. That's when you've truly learned English.

Stop posing on dry land; come on, dive into the real ocean of English to learn swimming!
