阿玉按：学百句不如知十句，知十句不如通一句，通一句胜过学百句。我们经常看到类似《日常英语900句》、《商务会话365句》之类的书，这些书大都通俗易懂、简单实用，深受广大英语爱好者和学习者追捧和青睐，大部分英语教师也把此类书籍当作非常好的课外读物进行推荐，甚至建议大家背诵。于是纷纷买来，如获至宝。从头到尾看来，感觉收获颇丰，仿佛一下子会说很多句子，英语水平提高了一大截，其实则不然。到真正用的时候还是一样抓瞎，当时学过的几百句到时能想起来五、六句就已经相当不错了。而且说出来还可能错误百出，颠三倒四，不伦不类。
这究竟是什么原因造成的呢？其实是因为你并没有真正掌握这些句子。这些句子大都是日常口语，遣词造句一般比较简洁，基本上是一看就懂，这恰恰导致了学习者的松懈，仅仅停留在懂了的层面。比较勤奋的学习者能把这些句子读上二、三十遍或者背过就已经相当不错了，根本不会将这个句子真正掌握，更别说活用了。
阿玉认为，一个经典的句子光看懂是不行的，背过也是不够的，能够活用才是真正掌握。一个经典句子就是一个经典句型，能够活用一个句子就是掌握了一个句型，掌握了一个句型就可以造出好几个句子、几十个句子、甚至成百上千个句子，你可以正着说、反着说、问着说、答着说，想怎么说就怎么说，真正做到烂熟于心、真正实现脱口而出！
基于此，阿玉凭着学习英语多年的经验，推出此档“每日一句”系列英语栏目，旨在和广大英语爱好者共同学习，共同提高。帮助那些挣扎在英语大门的学习者们，希望你们能从中有所收益，一起达到攻克英语的目的。各位尊敬的英语语言前辈路过，也请多多指教为盼。
希望每位到此一游的英语学习者，都能掌握这些经典句子，并在此留下您活学活用的实例，多多益善。
