First,don't look upon the study of grammar as all or nearly all that you have to do in learning to write correctly.Important as it is,grammar is not everything.
Secondly,don't indulge in much reasoning from the definitions；that would be sheer waste of time and energy.
Thirdly,don't be a slave to grammatical terms，about which uniformity does not prevail。
Fourthly，don't draw hasty conclusions from one or two examples.
Fifthly，don't cling to any narrowly grammatical point of vie at the expense of idiom.There are many idiomatic constructions that do not admit of grammatical analysis.
Sixthly,don't treat the study or grammar merely as something curious or fascinating,though you may delight in the philosophy or science of the language.
Seventhly,don't conte... (查看原文)
When you read a story in English，do you read it for the story or for the English ?This is a question that is not so foolish as it may seem.For I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story than to the English.They read and enjoy and for a long time afterwards remember the story, but do not care to study the use of words and phrases in it.

市面上关于英文写作的书籍有不少，比如William Zinsser的On Writing Well以及E. B. White的The Elements of Style，但这类书籍针对的往往是以英语为母语的读者，有时候可能照顾不到外语学习者的需求。那么，有没有专门给英语学习者的入门书呢？《葛传槼英语写作》(The Writing ...

自学成才的葛先生确实有一套……可谓面面俱到，只是编排方式比起市面“畅销书”也许略失聪明。最值得狠下功夫的应当是书中提供的背诵范文（背背背！！！）。如果后面的章节都能以此展开有所发散也许会更好。另外Amazon kindle版才6块钱！

书没问题，我有问题。 难得我想哐哐撞墙…但是难的连哔哩都没有讲解谁懂啊！ 很多用法都没看明白，一个词明明自己知道，但是比如wallflowers是舞会中没有舞伴而坐的人，我就蒙了（这个例子还好一点查单词就明白）。但是以此可推好多东西真是看不明白又生啃。 背段落吧确实是好段落……但…… 看完了我再回来改成5星……（不知道哪天）顺便兄弟们可以配合《英语常用词疑难用法手册》一起的。

葛老的优点现在变成了读者的困难：他的英文是太地道了，用语时效性极强，但这也意味着四十年甚至八十年过去（1941，1983），本书中的许多表达，早已显得荒僻，读者看字面意思无法理解，也不是那么容易在今日的常用字书里查到。但是，如果想要写旧日中产阶级那种显得受过良好教育的英文白话，本书仍然值得推荐；不过英语程度中等及以下的，就要慎重考虑如何保证足够精力来阅读和练习这400多页的讲义。
