English has been called one of the most difficult languages for non-native speakers to learn. One reason is that English has so many rules. 36 Sometimes, this leaves learners confused(混淆). For example, the order of words in a sentence can be tricky.
37 The pronunciation of English words cannot always be judged by their spelling. For example, there are at least six ways to pronounce the group of letters spelled o-u-g-h. And, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions, in English. 38
So, it is comforting to know that learning root words can help a non-native speaker use English. 39 Root words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.
Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English. 40 Then where can a root be found? A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning: the beginning, middle or end. Prefixes, bases, and suffixes are types of roots. The prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.
A. A root word is the most basic form of a word.
B. The English have always been fond of all kinds of rules. C. You could say we use idioms like they’re going out of style. D. And there are almost as many exceptions(例外)of those rules! E. Most English root words came from the Greek and Latin languages.
F. Another reason why English is hard to learn is the pronunciation of its words.
G. So, by learning 20 or 30 root words, you can increase your vocabulary to hundreds of more new words.
