This will enable you to react properly with your lines. It is advisable that you resist the excitement to be speedy with your lines, just to prove you know them.
Remember, the best way to improve your acting is to realize that when you first deliver your lines, it will usually be the easiest attempt for you and not the best one for that part of the scene. So you should look ahead of your initial choice and explore what more you can do to meliorate the scene.
