0Hi again, User_gary,02br

00As I suggested in your other thread, I think you should try to read texts that are more suitable to your current level of English.02br

00A text that contains an unusual phrase like a 'purling brook', does not seem really suitable or useful for you. That's just my opinion, of course, you may disagree.02br
