      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.
      Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It"s important to master (掌握)
the rules (规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the
listeners can"t understand the speakers" sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of
the sentence doesn"t change. Let"s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. 
      "She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples." 
      "I"ve seen the film already." "I have already seen the film." 
      When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit (精神实际) of the language and use
it as the English speakers do.
