Most Americans start to school at the age of five when they enter kindergarten(幼儿园). Children do not really study at this time. They only attend for half the day and learn what school is like. Children attend elementary school for the next six years. They learn to read and write and work with numbers. They also study the world and its people. After they leave elementary school, children go to junior high school for three years and senior high school for another three years. This is called secondary education. In some places, the children go to elementary school for eight years and high school for four. In all, elementary and secondary education together take twelve years to complete excluding （不包括）kindergarten.

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 afterschool 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 ．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 |
