It's a long story. I think you have made very good progress. Perhaps you can get through the book more quickly if you just listen to it instead of reading it. When you listen, you may find that you can understand the story without looking up many words. I think this is also a good way to study.
Thanks for your advice .
But,even though I can understand it without looking up many words ,I still want to keep the words I don't know in my blog .
I can understand how you feel. Thanks for your reply.
