As far as I’m concerned, to study effectively, we should combine our study with amusement; meanwhile, doing some sports is also a good way. As an old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Only in this way will we be able to study effectively. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 三、 阅读理解 18.
