If your math teacher assigns(分派) five problems you should do six.If your Chinese teacher assigns eight pages of reading,you should read nine.The more you practice,the more you learn.
Studying is a matter of personal preference(偏爱),so choose the way you are most comfortable with.Some people like working at night when the house is quiet,while others like doing their work early in the morning.Still others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds.No matter which way suits you,try to do your best.
Studying is your business and business comes before entertainment(娱乐).When you are studying,phone calls should go unanswered,TV shows unwatched,snacks ignored.Studying is the only thing in your mind.Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.
Studying is like eating.You chew it one bite at a time.You can plan what to do today,but don't do too much.When you can't finish the work you planned to do,you will feel disappointed and may lose confidence.On the other hand,you will not study well without a good plan.It all depends on how you arrange your time.
The students who hand in a clearly written paper is already half way to an A.Neat(工整的) papers are likely to get higher marks than sloppy(被泼水弄湿的) ones.When you write neatly and do your work carefully,the thoughts in your mind are clear.You are able to make fewer mistakes.
