this: learning how to do such things needs lots (13) of practice. It is never simply to

“know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what (14) you know. For

example, it is not enough simply to read a book on (15) how to fly an airplane. A (16)

book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if only read a book and then

try to (17) fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill (18) yourself .

about it? Can you play the piano without having lots of (20) practice first?
