四、阅读理解。
Do you ever feel like your study habits just don't work? Do you wonder what you could do to do better in class or in exams? Then maybe you need to study smarter, not harder. Here are some useful tips for you.
Reading is not studying. Simply reading texts or notes can't help us understand knowledge deeply. Real studying is making meaning from the text. This includes making connections to lessons, giving examples and planning your own learning. All of the work will help you to really study for your lessons.
It's good to be intensive(集中的). You will achieve more if you study intensively. Intensive study times are short and allow you to get work done fast. Shorter, intensive study times are more useful than drawn-out studying. In fact, one of the best study methods is to break up your study time into different parts. Intensive study times can last 30 or 45 minutes. And then take a break. This way, you will better remember the information.
Silence isn’t always golden. Know where you study the best. The library may not be the best place for you. It’s important to consider what environment works the best for you. You might find that you focus better with some sound. Some people find that listening to classical music while studying helps them study, while others find this is bad for them. The point is that the silence of the library may be just as bad as(or worse than) the noise of a sports centre.
