学习英语窍门

Wouldn't it be great to get paid for studying, even if it was minimum wage? “ Hey, where do you work?” “ Oh, I study. The pay is great! Not only do I get paid ＄ 5.50 an hour, but I get smarter too!”

　　Yeah right! That would only happen in our dreams (if you dream about that sort of thing). The only payment we receive when we study is the grade that we get in return, whether it be good or bad. Studying is a fact of life. We have to do it and it takes up1 most of our time. If it doesn't take up most of your time, then you are obviously one of the privileged, the naturally smart.For the rest of the not so privileged2 students, I would like to share3 with you a few study tips.

　　Re-write Your Notes. The first study tip that I would like to tell you about is writing your notes over. Now I know you are thinking to yourself, “ Is she crazy? I spent an hour already writing them once, and once is enough!” Yes, I know you already have cramps4 in your fingers from writing your notes, but writing them a second time will implant5 the information in your brain. This will enable you to recall more of the “ stuff 6 ” that you need to know much easier because you would have written and seen the notes twice.

　　Make And Use Flashcards7.Flashcards are a very big help when you have to memorize a lot of information such as definitions and even what certain pictures are. The only downfall8 to the flashcards is that you have to personally make them and use them, and this takes time. Believe me, it is worth it though.

　　Study In A Pack9. Studying can be fun, but only when you do it with people you like. Having a study group will help you understand information from different interpretations10 other than the teacher's “ over-your-head” interpretations. This type of studying will also keep you motivated because you know that there are other people who need to study and those other people are your friends.

　　Let's face it: studying is one of our least favorite things, but to have good grades, you have to sacrifice some time. I believe that these ways of studying will help “ ease the pain.” There are many ways to study, but I found that these study tips benefited me the most. If they do not work for you, try other ways to study.

 

能从学习中获得报酬，即便是最低的工资,这难道不好吗?“嘿，你在哪里工作！”“哦，我学习。报酬不错，不仅每小时挣5.5美元，而且我还变得更聪明。”

　　这好极了！但这只可能发生在我们的梦里（如果你梦想这种事情）。我们从学习中得到的惟一回报是成绩，无论它是好还是差。学习是一种生活现实。我们必须学习，学习占去我们大部分时间。如果学习不会占去你大部分时间，那么显然你就是一个有特殊天赋、生来就聪明的人。对于那些没那么得天独厚的学生，我愿与大家共享一些学习的窍门。

　　重写你的笔记。我想告诉你的第一个学习技巧，是从头到尾再写一遍你的笔记。我知道你在想：“她是不是疯了？我已经花了一小时写了一遍，一遍就够了！”不错，我知道写笔记已使你手指发酸了，但第二次抄写笔记会将信息输入到你的脑中。这会使你更容易记住更多你需要记住的“东西”，因为你已经写了两次，看了两次。

　　制作和使用抽认卡。当你必须记住诸如各种定义甚至某些图示等大量信息时，抽认卡很有帮助。抽认卡的惟一缺点是你必须亲自制作并使用它们，而这需要时间。尽管如此，请相信我，这样做是值得的。

　　结伴学习。学习可能是一种乐趣，但只有当你与你所喜欢的人一起学习时，才会有乐趣。在一个学习小组中学习，会帮助你对信息的理解，除了老师的那些“费解”的解释之外，还有各种不同的解释。这种方式还会使你保持学习的积极性，因为你知道还有其他一些人需要学习，而这些人又是你的朋友。

　　让我们面对这样一个事实：学习是我们最不喜欢的事情之一，但为了取得好成绩，你必须牺牲一些时间。我相信这些学习方法将有助于你“减轻痛苦”。有许多学习方法，但我发现这些方法使我受益最大。如果它们不适合你，可尝试其他方法。
