Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a plan of your time. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don' t forget to set enough time for entertainment(娛樂). A weekly plan may not work out all your problems, but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials(材料). No game, radio, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate(集中精力) on your subject.

Make good use of your time. Listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude(態(tài)度) to tests. The purpose(目的) of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don' t pass a test, so don't be overly worried.

There are other ideas that might help you with your studying. You will probably find many others after you have tried these.

One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men.” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight against the Romans again. We must win or we will die.” They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were only four guards(衛(wèi)兵) on duty, but they too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they arrived at the foot of the hill.
