How can you study well? I think that you should have good study1. Then you can spend less time but learn2.

First make full use of your time. 3your books are open, please turn off your TV and 4your snacks. Of course, you need sometime to play, but you should play after study. Remember: study comes first.

Second, listen to your teachers5in your class. You know, it is very important. If you have questions just ask your teachers, and they are very happy to help you. Third，do the homework by yourself. If you can't work out a problem6you can ask7help. You can't just copy the answer. Make sure that you really understand it. Finally, take a8with you. Sometimes you may have some ideas or questions. Please9them down on the paper. Then you can talk to your teachers, parents or fiends. These four tips are helpful to you. Please10trying! You will succeed if you have good study habits.
