In my long years of teaching, I often ask my studentsto read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitationis an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tiredof doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that ittakes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears ina test paper.

In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite atext, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you aresure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them inreading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, andso you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can wesay that it is useless?

Besides, many students complain that they soon forgetwhat they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry.While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language   levelis being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once readin the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So,recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
