You probably think you will never be a top student. In fact you can become a better student if you want to. You may say， 1 “It takes me lots of time to study， but I don’t still make progress.” But if you can use your time well， you may improve your study without much work. Here are a few ways to help you with your study.
Plan your time carefully. You should make a list (目录；清单) of things that you have to do during a week. First， you should write down the time for eating， sleeping， dressing， etc. 2 Then， you should use the time that you can to study. Of course， studying shouldn’t take all of your time. Don’t forget to leave enough time for your hobbies.
Find a good place to study. Keep this space quiet， which may be a desk or just a corner of your room. No Games， radio or television! When you sit down to work， think only about the subject!
Make good use of your time in class. Listen carefully to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. 3 You also need to take notes in class， because it can make it easier for you to learn well.
