BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE STUDENT Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline. There are six areas which are crucial to developing good study habits. Work on these and you will become an effective student. Targets Always set a realistic work target. Don't try to do too much. For example, plan to read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend. This kind of
32. detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment. It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan. This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail! Rewards Develop a system of small rewards for your work. For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a favorite piece of music after one hour's study, Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself. Timing Make sure you choose a suitable time to study, i.e. when it is quiet and when you are most'alert. Try to make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day. If you plan to start work at a certain time, say 7 pm, do not find reasons to put off getting started. You can watch a DVD later, and your emails are not urgent! Quantity A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting - so daunting, in fact, that it can be difficult to sit down and make a start. Break the larger task down into several smaller ones. For example, make a list of questions that you will have to deal with in your essay, and then approach each question separately. This makes the work more manageable. Notes and Learning styles The books you are studying won't always present information in a way that suits your learning style. It is, therefore, worthwhile spending time making notes and organizing them in a way that suits you best. It is also a good idea to keep your notebooks neat and well-organized. This will make it much easier to retrieve information later. Revision Don't leave revision until the last moment. When you set your study targets, allow regular revision time. This is much more effective than trying to cram before an exam. 123. How does the writer think you can develop good study habits? A. By setting a realistic work target B. By planning and considering your learning style C. By revising your work on a regular basisD. By taking into account six important areas 124. Why is it a good idea to tell other people about your work plan? A. They can help you develop a detailed target. B. They will be very helpful with your plan. C. They will know if you do not stick to your plan, which motivates you to reach the target. D. They will know how to help you avoid failing. 125. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “vague” in paragraph 2? A. unrealistic B. inefficient C. unclear D. impractical 126. Timing includes all of the following EXCEPT ___.
