读=read, 学=study, learn 读书=reading (books), 学习= study, learn knowledge or skills Examples: 读书破万卷，下笔如有神。——by （唐代）杜甫 读书是学习，摘抄是整理，写作是创造。——by 吴晗 读书，人才更加象人。—— by 严文井 学习，永不嫌迟。 缺点正是学习的起点。 学习，无所不在。 选择适宜的的学习方式。 迎向挑战，加速学习。 学习切忌贪多。 通过理性思维完成学习。 重要的，是学习的过程。 分亨丰富学习。( Sharing enriches your learning.) 在贵阳或遵义哪里能学习养殖技术啊？ 好好学习，天天向上。by Mao Zedong/Mao Tsetung As studying / learning in the past is mainly through reading, 读书 in modern Chinese is often used to generally stand for 学习，especially that in schools. Thus, 读书 is often the synonyms for 学习/上学（attend school/study at school)。Examples： 五年以前我在同济大学读书。 What should be paid due attention is that both 读书 and 学习 are among detachable words which (mostly 2 syllables/morphemes/characters) component parts can be used either integrally or separately.( Please refer to detachable/separable words). 我在上海读了三年书。 今天我读了两小时的书。 书也读过了，工作也有了，该娶媳妇儿了。 我在成都学了四年习/我在成都学习了四年。 晚上我学过习就洗洗睡了。（but not *习学过了我就洗洗睡了。）

1. About 读 and 学 a.读 refers to "read", but sometimes in spoken Chinese, it also has a meaning "study"( I guess that's the reason why you feel confused) b.学 refers to "study" Eg. "What did you major in at university? ", this can be translated into "你在大学里学(or 读）什么专业“, both are correct. Eg. Are you reading a science fiction? 你正在读一本科幻小说吗？(here, we must use 读 rather than 学） 2. About 读书 and 学习 The difference between the two is similar to that between 读 and 学. 读书 refers to " reading a book/books" or "studying";while 学习 only has the meaning of "studying" 3.About 完 and 结束 完 is often used after the verb;while 结束 is often used after the noun.(but this rule is not very strict) Eg. After watching the movie, I went back home. 看完电影后，我回家了。 Eg. The movie was over and I went back home. 电影结束了，然后我回家了。 I hope this explanation will help~~~

完 和 结束 含义非常接近，根据不同语境来运用。 The meanings of 完 and 结束 are very close， you should use them accordingly in different language environment. examples： 电影完了。=电影结束了。 The movie is over. 你完蛋了。 You are done for. 游戏结束了。Game over. 你完成游戏了,你赢了. You have finished the game, you win! 游戏结束了,你完蛋了,你输了! The game is over, and you are done for, you lose!

读书=read books 学习=learn something examples: 读书很枯燥。Reading is boring. 学习开车很困难。It is difficult to learn how to drive.

读=read 学=learn examples: 我读了《狼图腾》那本小说。 I have read the novel Wolf Totem . 我学了《高等数学》。 I have learned the Academic Mathematics.
