【解析】本文讲述了如何学好一门外语。

1.考查代词用法。根据前文的the language 为单数，故此处应填入指物的代词it来指代前文的the language，故填入it。

2.考查插入语用法。文章的第一句表明学习语言有四个方面是必要的的条件，第一段已经明示了firstly, secondly，fourthly，故还差第三点，所以应填入Thirdly，首字母需要大写。

3.考查success的用法。success in sth or in doing sth 在某事上成功或成功做某事。故这里要填入in。

4.考查冠词用法。此处memory为单数，所以要用不定冠词a来修饰，且位于句首需要大写，句子译为“一个好的记忆具有极大帮助”。

5.考查enough固定搭配。be not enough to do sth 做某事是不够的。给出的单词提示是memorize，故应填入to memorize。

6.考查物主代词用法。根据前文出现的list of words，可以判断and后面应该使用their来指代“许多单词”，故填入their。

7.考查if引导的条件状语从句。句意：如果我们很满意自己仅仅只是记住了一少部分关于语言的规则，那么我们就不能够算是真正的学习了语言。因位于句首，首字母应大写，故填入If。

8.考查advise的名词形式。介词后面要用名词，a good piece of advice 表示“一个好的建议”。

9.考查定语从句用法。此处those指代下文那些学习语言的人，所以应用who来引导该定语从句，填入who。

10.考查practise的用法。practise doing sth 练习做某事。故此处应填入write的V-ing 形式，即填入writing。
