This is the important "learning ability" that in the "Internet +" era, we use "known" English to "explore, discover, and verify" in Yahoo to seek "answers" (power outage). That is, what we lack is not "not being able to speak" "What is lacking is how to use tools to solve the problem of "not being able to speak". At the same time, it is also an important manifestation of our efforts to learn language in the "language environment".

Learning English is essentially the so-called "buying fish directly from others, it is better to learn to fish by yourself". Although this will be a bit harder and more troublesome at first, once you become proficient, you will no longer be subject to the market: if you buy fish, you will eat it, if you don't sell it to you, you will go hungry.
