It is hoped that through this course, you can get more familiar with the language patternings in English texts or discourses and thus develop sort of expertise in reading more efficiently--- so that you can read from analytical, critical and aesthetic perspectives, thereby to deepen your understanding of English writings and as well build up both a logical mind and a sound judgment for perfection of your own writings on the basis of sufficient exposure and mastery of lexical, grammatical and rhetorical devices.
