Maybe you are an average(
一般的
) student. You probably think you will never be a top student.
However, anyone can become better if he or she does his or her best. Here are some tips to help
you.
★
Plan
your
time
carefully.
You
should plan
your
time
for
things
such
as
eating,
sleeping
and
dressing. T
hen make a good, regular time for studying. But don’t forget to set enough time for
entertainment.
★

Keep
your
study
quiet
and
clean.
The
study
should
have
a
desk,
a
chair
and
some
study
materials, but no games, no radio and no television! When you sit down to study, you can put your
heart into it. Make good use of your time.
★
Listen to everything that the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later.
Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
★
After you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points. If you know
what your teacher is going to discuss next day, read the material. It will help you study better.
★
Develop a good attitude to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a
subject. It helps you know what you are not good at. The world will still go on even if you fail in a
test, so don’t be too worried.

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother
sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided
