主要是现在正在练口语，打算每天写一章的读书笔记，然后说出来，练下自己的口语。。。针对的是vocabulary的积累与表达的掌握吧。

Structure

Why should we read Darwin？

His influence can be traced into all corners of modern culture - not just biology, but in philosophy, the human sciences, theology, software engineering, literature and the plastic arts.
It's easy to read.

The structure of this book

• The Origin of Species

• The Descent of Man

• The Expressions of the Emotions

How to read it?

My preferred approach follows the philosopher and historian R.G. Collingwood, who suggested we should aim to understand the questions that people asked. The questions they had in mind may not be exxplicit, but if you can puzzle them oyt, the rest of their work tends to make more sense.
Collingwood's method forces us to be active readers, looking for sense in the text, rather than reading passively and hoping to absorb something.
……
It therefore makes more sense for most of us to understand Darwin's evolutionary ideas in genetic terms rather than in terms of Darwin's own theories of inheritance.

可以用于口语的词语和表达

1. pose himself/herself a question: 某人给自己提出了一个问题，这个可能也有点书面语。

2. make sense: 平时语境中也可以用（That makes more sense.) 出自：It therefore makes more sense for most of us to understand Darwin's evolutionary ideas in genetic terms rather than in terms of Darwin's own theories of inheritance. 但是这句话就太书面语了。

3. easy to read --> readable

4. has one huge advantage over something: 作比较的时候可以用

5. In this way, we can...

尝试在讲的时候把上面的这些都用上。
