CHAPTER 10<br />
A reader, after reading “<strong>English</strong> for the Eager Learners” can learn to<br />
write a straightforward sentence:<br />
1. grammatical<br />
2. logical<br />
3. idiomatic<br />
For (1), the book provides the basic, complete knowledge of grammar.<br />
For (2), the reader is trained how to think actively for clear writing.<br />
For (3), there are many idiomatic expressions (the set way of the<br />
language) in every passage at the end of a lesson for one to memorize<br />
and make use of.<br />
At this point, a learner can only copy others’work. She must not create<br />
her own expressions. This imitation stage anyone who learns an art or a<br />
craft or writing must pass through. Bach and Picasso and Shakespeare<br />
are among them.<br />
Once the apprenticeship of writing is over, she comes out as a creative,<br />
independent writer. But to reach the highest level of writing - to write<br />
simple <strong>English</strong>, she needs real “talent” and hard work that any book can’t<br />
teach.<br />
