  Where do I start? Before you begin studying English,ask yourself one question—Why do I want to study English? Is it because you want to,or because someone else wants you to? Like every decision in life,studying English must be something you want to do.

  Set goals if you know why you want to study English. For example,maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Great. Perhaps you already know many useful

phrases,but you want to improve your listening skills and pronunciation. Whatever your goals are,write them down.

  Make an agenda. How long do you need to study to achieve your goals? This answer is different for every student. The important thing is to be realistic. If you work 60 hours per week,donJt plan to spend another 40 hours a week studying English. Start off slow,but study regularly. Use material that is challenging,but not too difficult. After you have studied for a few weeks,adjust your study schedule. Do you study best at night or on the bus on your way to school? Do you like to study alone in a quiet place,or with friends and background music? If you are sure you are ready to begin studying,make a promise and keep it.

  Have fun learning English. The things we do best in life are the things we enjoy doing. If you aren’t having fun learning English,you’re not studying in the right way!You can be a serious student who has fun at the same time!

Another problem was that students might take improper pictures of classmates to share or post on a website later.

Cell phones with cameras will be confiscated if they are found in school,and punishing action will be taken ,” officials said.Some students are not willing to obey the rule. “I'd be lost without my phone”,said Kendall Paul,a student of Magnolia Independent School. “All my numbers are in it. I2 3 4 5ve never used it to cheat and I don’ t  know anyone who has at our school,so I think it's kind of stupid. ”

     But other students said they saw it all the time at their school. "In fact,the cell phones with cameras are popular in our school and they are very useful for us? especially in our tests. We would take a picture of the test,and then send it to the next person or the person in another classroom,who is taking the same test,when he or she needs ,” said Melissa Sparks,a student. “They would send the question and the answer,too. It's quicker that way ,” another student said.
