Many students want to know the best ways to improve their learning. Here are a few useful methods. Focus One of the best ways to organize your study session is to use the Pomodoro Technique. 【1】 The idea is to use a timer. Let's say, you set the timer for 20 minutes, and focus only on your studies during that time. You cannot check email, or do anything aside from your task. When the timer goes off, you can reward yourself by listening to some music or having a drink of tea. Test yourself When you are studying, you should test yourself often. 【2】 You can also find all kinds of online tests for many subjects. Interleaving 【3】 For example, in one study period you might spend time testing yourself on vocabulary words and then test yourself on grammar. Or, if studying math, you could mix multiplication(乘法) and division(除法）problems. It may be better for long-term learning. Teaching Teaching is also a powerful way to learn. 【4】 Some did not expect to have to teach information, while others did. When they actually teach a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material. Closing thoughts You can create your own plan based on what you need to learn. You might organize your study periods with the Pomodoro technique. Then, you can test yourself and interleave different topics. There are many choices. 【5】 A.Researchers compared different groups of students. B.In other words, they only study one topic at a time. C.This method is a technique that means you mix different topics. D.All of these techniques can be put together to make a powerful study plan. E.It is a powerful, but simple method that helps people focus on a task. F.When you focus and do tasks that are at the right difficulty level, your brain will become tired. G.If you are using a textbook, then you can do practice questions from the end of each chapter. |

He didn’t try to make messes, but he didn’t try to clean up much, either. There were always small pieces of food on the table when he was eating. His socks were never put into the laundry hamper (洗衣篮). And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away. Most days, Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him. She brushed the crumbs (碎屑) into her hand and threw them away after meals. She picked up his socks and made sure they got washed, dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer. She often picked up his toys when he left them to do something else. One day, Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains. “Not right now,” Arthur said. He was reading a comic book. The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning. “You know what, Arthur? I’m not going to ask you again. I’m not cleaning today.” And with that, Mom put her feet up on the sofa and picked up book to read. At dinner time, Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table. Mom’s spot was nice and clean. Arthur didn’t like the crumbs very much. After dinner, Arthur’s feet felt cold. He went to his room and opened his drawer, but the drawer was empty. “Mom, where are my socks?” Arthur called. “There weren’t any socks in your hamper. I didn’t wash them,” Mom said. Arthur felt unhappy. Now his feet would be cold, unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor. He decided to stay barefoot. When it was time for bed, Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs. Arthur stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet. “Ouch!” cried Arthur. “That really hurt!” However, Mom was still reading and said nothing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Mom?” said Arthur. “Tomorrow, can you show me how to do some washing? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
