With school back in the new term, here are some suggestions from Oxford Learning for students to pass the exams．
(1)Pay attention to class．Take notes on the main ideas．If you don’t understand something, make a note and ask others for help．
(2)Use a planner to enter homework as soon as it’s assigned(布置)．Pick a comfortable place to do homework．
(3)Divide material(材料)into units and assign each unit a day．Give yourself a three-day rest before the test．Study in short classes－15 minutes at a time－then take a five-minute break to exercise．
(4)Use Oxford’s SQRCRC method to study:
Search introductions, headings and summaries(总结)for main idea．
Question：“What do I hope to learn by reading this?”
The clock struck twelve, but I still on bed．I could hear it was blowing strongly．“It must be windly outside．”I thought．
I came to a small town a week ago．I sold clothes to a shop．Christmas was coming and I hoped to buy some presents for my family and friends．So I tried to meet the manager and ask him to pay for them．I was out of luck．He went to London and I had to wait for him here．There was no theatre here but a cinema．The films were all too bad．I preferred staying in the small hotel to sitting in the cold cinema．
Half an hour later, I felt hungry I had to get up．It was white everywhere and some children were skiing down the hill．On my way to the small restaurant, I saw a boy fell onto a rock, I ran to him quickly and carried him to a hospital．Soon his parents came here．Now I knew the boy was just the manager's son．He thanked me very much and gave me the money after we had a dinner．ACBA
