With every new school year comes a fresh start． What are you going to do differently and better？ When you are prepraring yourself， keep in mind the following：
（1） When you miss a day， or even a class， it's easy to fall behind．The best way to stay with the development of the class is to be there! If you have to miss a class， make sure you meet with your teacher to find out what you missed．（2） Don't write down everything， just the main points．
Ask questions，（3） Believe it or not， most teachers want you to learn and they are always there to help you． If you aren't comfortable asking questions in front of the class，go to talk to the teacher after class．
Take your homework seriously． Like it or not， homework is a necessary part of school． There's not much you can do to get around it．（4） If possible， you can find a study partner and do homework with him or her．
Try new things and get new friends．Try a new sport，something you think you will be good at． If sports aren't your thing，try joining a club．Keep your old friends，but get some new ones，too． （5）
Remember， it's up to you to decide what kind of school year you're going to have． Make full use of it while you can!
