I’ve been working in a school for more than twenty years. Many parents often ask me, “How can you teach your child good study skills? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible?” Here are some tips:  

1. If the child is as young as nine or ten, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible (负责的).

2. Find a good place to study. This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things. No games, radios, or televisions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done. Usually, homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school. This also goes for the kids who take part in after-school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins.

3. Also remember that it is the child’s duty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first. By doing this, they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way we help them to help themselves.

1.Asking the kids to keep a notebook to remember their homework will make them ______.

A．remember more                        B．learn more

C．more responsible                       D．more interested in studying

2.The place where the children study must ________.

A．be free for everything

A．Forgetting.        B．Leaving.           C．Realizing.          D．Beating.

4.According to the passage, the children should _____ when they have trouble with their homework.

A．ask their parents for help                 B．try to solve the problems by themselves

C．wait for their teachers’ help             D．put it away and have a snack
