1. reading be good at 结构中at是介词，后接宾语，故改read为动名词reading。
2. a 此处泛指“一个阅读习惯”，应用不定冠词，且reading以辅音音素开头，应用a。
3. on 他决定接受这项挑战。take on 是固定搭配，意思是“承担”。
4. chose 叙述发生在过去的事件，用一般过去时，故改choose为过去式chose。
5. himself 他解释句子给自己听，用反身代词，故改him为himself。
6. national 用形容词修饰名词competition，故改nation为形容词national。
7. encouragement with 是介词，其后接宾语，故改encourage为名词encouragement。
8. working get used to doing 表示“习惯于……”，故改动词work为working。
9. remained 叙述发生在过去的事件，用一般过去时，故改remain为过去式remained。
10. but “not only ... but also ...”是固定搭配，意思是“不但……而且……”，故填入but。
