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 “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 in your own language .
Languages do not just have different sounds . They are different in many ways . It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English , too . If the speakers put words in a wrong order , the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily . Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed , the meaning of the sentence changes . But sometimes the order is changed , the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change . Let’s see the difference between the two pains of sentences .
“She only likes apples .”“Only she likes apples .”
“I have seen learning English , you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does .”
11、From the passage we know that _______ when we are learning English .

1、The world is not only hungry , but it also thirsty for water .
2、This may seem strange to you , since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water . But about 97% of that is sea water , or salt water . Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water from river , lakes , underground , and other sources . And we can not even use all of that , even worse , some of it has been made dirty .
However , as things stand today , this fresh water is still enough for us . But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly almost day by day . We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world – wide water shortage later on .
3、We all have to learn how to stop washing our valuable water . One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it . Today in most large cities , water is used only once and then sent out into answer system . From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places .
4、But even if every large city reused its water , we still would not have enough . All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt . If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up .
