新素养 乐学善学 There are many top students around us. Let us take Carter as an example. He is the monitor of my class. He often spends a lot of time working for our class. But he still does well in all the subjects. How do students like Carter do that? When I ask him, he tells me, “Hard work is not the whole story. It's not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It's what you do when you are sitting.” In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Carter gives us some useful advice(建议).
Do more than you are asked
If your Maths teacher gives you four problems, you should do five. If your Chinese teacher gives you six pages of reading, you should read seven. If you practise more, you will be better at the subject.
Choose suitable ways
Studying is a matter of your own interest, so choose the way you enjoy. Some students like studying early in the morning. Some students like studying at night when the house is quiet. Some students like studying as soon as they arrive home from school, because the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you, try to do your best.
Put studying before entertainment(娱乐)
Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment. When you are studying, you shouldn't use phones or watch TV shows. It's a waste of time. It's not a good idea to have snacks either. Studying should be the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.
Plan your time well
Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don't do too much at a time. Or you may feel unhappy or stressed without finishing your plan. However, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you plan your time.
Keep your papers clean
If your papers are clean and tidy, you may already be halfway to getting an A. Tidy papers can help you get higher marks than messy ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes.
