Studying Tips and Techniques

    If you often find yourself struggling with your studies, here are some useful tips and techniques that can help you out…

1.____________ It is a common misconception that self-study can begin only after a particular topic or chapter is taught in class. You should start preparing for the class in advance. After attending classes, it is of great importance that you have time to review the notes that you have taken during the class as well as try and read more about the subject on your own. Be it （无论是）reference books, or e-books, try and find more information about your subject so that you have a comprehensive（全面的）view of the topics. Often while reading and self-studying, it happens that you come across doubts and questions that did not occur to you in the classroom. Try and answer these questions yourself with the help of books or the internet. However in case you fail to answer, write down these questions so that you remember to clarify the questions in your next class.

2.____________ Involve yourself in group discussions about the subjects that you are studying. Group discussions can be a great way to broaden your viewpoint over important issues since group discussions give every group member a chance to voice their understanding, which might not necessarily be alike. Group discussions are thus a healthy and a rather informal way of exchanging information and discussing issues. Many teachers encourage the group discussion technique in their classroom as well.

3.____________ No matter how much people disapprove of the process and the timetables, it is a known fact that having a clear and detailed project makes it easier for a person to reach a goal. According to your convenience, map out your daily / weekly/ monthly study. It is always better to have a weekly or a daily arrangement, so that unexpected changes in class schedules or any other changes can be taken into consideration accordingly.

4.___________ Yes, there exist some species of students who burn the midnight oil. The studying process should be such that it leaves enough room for a student to join in entertainment activities and relaxation. Always chalk out a schedule that will not influence your sleep, your health, your sports / entertainment activities and other routine tasks. Also studying a single subject at a stretch (like an entire week or so), can get boring, for this reason plan a schedule that helps you switch from one subject to another in enough time.

5._________ Normally students get too caught up with grades, the percentage and the entire marking system. Always remember that if you study with the aim of acquiring knowledge, the grades will be brighter. However, if you just aim for high grades, there is a chance you might get the grades, but you will miss out on acquiring comprehensive knowledge on a particular subject. Always study with the right point of view, and you will never have to worry about your grades. Knowledge is way beyond grades.

SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999. Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and anything else that came up.
Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50 – meter butterfly in the Australian championships at Homebu Bay.
Gould, now a 47 – year – old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition (顶级赛事) to swim the one event, having set a qualifying (合格的)time of 30. 32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.
Schipper, now a 17 – year – old girl from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled (回忆) her time with Gould five years ago.
“I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train.” Schipper explained. “It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there.”
“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She old us stories about what it was like at big meets like Olympics and what it was like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting.”
Next time, things will be more serious: “I will still be swimming in the 50 m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould.” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100 m and 200 butterfly.
