Justin and Mary woke up early, even though they were on vacation at their uncle' s lake house. The night before, Uncle Thomas told them about the Foggy Figure(雾怪) that lived in the lake. Justin and Mary decided to see it before their vacation ended.

"Is it foggy outside? asked Mary, as Justin looked out the window.

"Yes! Let's go!" said Justin.

It was only 5:00 a.m., so everyone else in the house was still asleep. Mary and Justin came to the boat dock(码头). They saw thick fog over the lake.

"Do you see anything?" asked Mary.

"Nothing. Do you think Uncle Thomas was just trying to scare us with that story?"

Uncle Thomas did have a good imagination. He told Justin and Mary many stories, but this was the first scary story. Mary had a feeling that it wasn' t made up.

Mary shook her head. "Remember what Uncle Thomas said? The Foggy Figure lives in the lake. We' re on the dock. Maybe that' s why we can' t see him."

"You want to go out on the water?" asked Justin.

Mary looked around, trying to find Uncle Thomas' s boat, but the fog was too thick.

They walked towards the end of the dock and saw the outline (轮廓) of the boat. They carefully got into the boat.

Mary was nervous. "See anything?" They looked around, and slowly, the fog began to lift(消散). Mary turned around and shouted, "The Foggy Figure!" It was in the boat with them!

Justin and Mary hugged each other in fear, but then they heard a laugh. It was from Uncle Thomas. "I knew that story would get you two out of bed early enough to take a boat ride with me."

Justin and Mary were happy that there was no Foggy Figure.

As people set about learning, it's necessary to study hard. However, it doesn't mean that everyone who studies hard will surely succeed. So how to be a successful learner? Have a look at the following ways!

Act well in class. Pay attention to what the teacher says in class and take enough notes. Whenever you take notes, not only use your hands but also use your brain. Always keep your brain active.

Ask questions. This is the common way to learn. Don't be shy or afraid to ask questions. There are no stupid questions. As the saying goes, “Those who ask may be a fool for five minutes, but those who don't will be a fool forever.” Asking questions will help learn more.

Review what you have learned after class. If necessary, work hard at it until you master the most important knowledge by heart. By reviewing, find out your problems so that you can discuss them with your classmates and teachers in the next class.

Put what you have learned into real life practice. It's the most important part. And it also continues the process (过程) of learning. Remember, “Practice makes perfect.”

Lead a healthy lifestyle. Have some good sleeping habits and eat vegetables and fruit as often as possible. This way, you can be in good shape and have more energy to learn.

Previewing (预习) before class is also a good way to be a successful learner. And if you come up with some other ideas, try them and see how they work.
