Reading after paragraph 10 to 11
When it comes to paragraph 10. First of all. I am confused by the first sentence. It is a long sentence. Not only have I been puzzled by the structure of the sentence, but I have been muddled by the word “bother” as well. The sentence is “Narcissistic showoffs, however, don’t bother to compete because they don’t even notice there’s anyone there to compete with”. I think the word “bother” means want to or take trouble to. Both are fine. Then I read it carefully. Suddenly, a sentence stops me, it gives a deep expression. And I feel obliged to use such a good sentence to learn in my English writing. Now I want to share the sentence with you. “Narcissistic showoffs want to be the star while everyone else is the audience.” In my view. Its expression is wonderful. We can copy it and make many useful sentences.
