I couldn’t waste time 6. (look) for a pencil or lost paper. I 7. (keep) everything right where I could put my hands on,” he said. Some students maintain two folders—one for the day’s assignment, the other for papers completed and graded. However, some students have another system, filling the day’s papers in colour-coded folders by subject.
The top students also take good notes while 8. (read) the text assignment. In fact, David Cirri, another top student interviewed, uses “my home-made” system in which he draws a line down the centre of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lecture delivered by his teacher on the other. Then, he is able to review both aspects of the assignment 9. (clear) at once.
