Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another? In school, do you rush from one subject to another?

When things happen so fast, it is easy to get lost of what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning.

Self-reflection(反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. Some people prefer to do these self-reflections only in their mind. Others keep a diary or written notes. Either method works, depending on your own personal learning.

School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier for someone to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are learning, such as math, science and art. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.

Find a quiet place. You can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out paper or your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.

Next, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.

Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.

When doing his math homework, Lu Lifei, 14, from Jiangsu, came across a problem. He couldn’t work it out. So he took out his cell phone, opened a special app and searched the problem. Answers soon appeared on the screen.

Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet like Lu. They search information online, use apps or discuss through social networks like QQ and WeChat.

“It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait or get a tutor(辅导,约束)on the spot,” Lu said. “You also learn by seeing how others work them out.”

It also improves students’ abilities, said Wang Shiying, 15, from Shanghai. And it’s especially true for new types of homework.

Wang’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give lectures on great authors. When it comes to Wang’s turn, she usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations.

“I’ve become adept(熟练的) at finding information online and using Microsoft Office.” Wang said. However, this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy. Huang Pengxiang, a head teacher from Shanxi said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control.

“No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently (独立地) first,” Huang said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t make progress. If you’re not confident about your self-control, ask your parents for help.”
