It is never too late to develop good study habits. Follow these good habits, you will become a good student.
Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. 1.Then decide on good time for studying. This weekly plan may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you know how to spend your time.
Find a good place to study. 2.It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be quiet. When you begin to work, you should be able to pay more attention to the subject.
3.Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Get ready for your notebook. 4.
Review（复习）what you have learnt after class. It’s normal to forget, so reviewing the day’s lessons is important. 5.
If you follow these suggestions, you will study better.
Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there is too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview—if it is long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (笼统的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.
Here is how to preview.
Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing does not give you all the information. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim — if it is short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your everyday paper.
Here is how to skim.
Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same article, but we will get a similar idea of what it is all about.
