Maybe you are an average(一般的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.

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(娱乐). 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(态度) 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.

1. Being a traditional holiday, it is still now celebrated quite often in many areas. Midwinter day is the day in the northern areas with the shortest day and the longest night year-round. After it, daytime will become increasingly longer and the coldest climate will hit all the places on the Northern part of the globe. On that day, it’s a tradition to eat dumplings in the north of China.

2. It is the 11th solar term of the year, which happens in July. It signifies the hottest period is coming but the extreme hot point has yet to arrive. During this time, farmers are devoted to field management. Kidney bean, peanut and so on are growing now, and people water and also prevent the injurious insects.

3.It is the third solar term according to the Chinese lunar calendar. When it comes, spring thunder (雷 ) cracks the sky and everything in nature begins to grow. It means that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. After it, days will get warm, rainfall will increase and nature will change quietly.

4.The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. It is the first solar term of the year. This year it begins on Feb 4th and ends on Feb 18th. It lifts the curtain of spring. After that, everything turns green and full of vigor. People clearly see that the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer.

5. It falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a time to remember the dead and honour one’s deceased ancestors and family members. It is a “spring” festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears.
