c. Masden's essay made me happy and exite that learn English.
particulary,I think very good for following expression.

Other people you know very well because you have spent a lot of time with them. "Knowing" a word is like this. To get to know a word well, you need to "meet" it in many different situations.

I want to meet a word in many different situations for many times.
