Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV sitcoms (情景喜剧) and in movies. The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can learn in an easy way. Thus it is necessary for you to learn the secrets of becoming straight-A students.
Among the students we interviewed, study times are a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when it is quiet ,whereas others awake early. And there are still others who decide to study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All of them agree, however, on the need for study time.“Whatever I was doing, I would find some time every day for studying,” says a top student from New Jersey.
Being organized is another habit they share in common. McCray, an outstanding student interviewed, runs track, plays football and is in a band . “I was so busy; I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says. Some students maintain two folders —one for the day’s assignment, another for papers completed and graded. However, some students have another system, filing the day’s papers in color-coded folders by subject.
The top students also take good notes while reading the text assignment. In fact, David Cieri, another top student interviewed,uses “my homemade” system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lecture delivered by his teacher on the other. Then. He is able to review both aspects of the assignment at once .
Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But the top students use the few minutes to write a two-or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s important points, which he or she scans before the next day’s class.
You can become a straight-A student by following the above secrets.
