Have you ever tried to understand something new on your own but found it in books or on the Internet a bit too difficult? Don't be worried—you can get help at Khan Academy(可汗学院).
Khan Academy is an online learning website created in 2007 by Salman Khan, an American teacher. In order to provide "a free world-class education to anyone anywhere", Khan offers more than 4, 200 free micro lectures(讲座) at khanacademy.org.
The classes cover fields like mathematics, biology, chemistry and finance. They usually last for just 10 to 15 minutes. Unlike traditional classes, Khan mainly provides courses for students below college level. The classes can also help those who are planning to take the SAT, an exam often required for students who wish to enter a college or university in the US.
So how can you start your learning journey at Khan Academy?
First of all, enter the learning page with a personal e-mail account(账户). It's your personal homepage at Khan Academy, which is coolly designed to help you learn math. You can take a pre-test first to see your level. The academy then suggests exercises at the right level for you. It also allows you to watch videos and improve yourself until you reach level 5—the highest level.
If you are interested in other subjects, click "LEARN" to see all topics on offer. Try "Art History", for example. This will take you to all the things in that area like text articles, videos and questions. You can also put key words into the search box to see related topics.
Don't worry if you find it difficult to follow the courses in English. The courses have been translated into other languages, such as Chinese. Hundreds of Khan's courses in Chinese can be found on Netease, which offers translations of courses from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and other top universities.
I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget anything important to do. Me, on the other hand… I'm terrible at getting myself organized! The following tips are from my friends.
Lou | Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divide it into different parts. I've got a whiteboard. I write a to-do list for each subject on it to make sure I'll finish everything in time. |
Gloria | Lately I've started keeping a small study diary, I write down everything I need to do in it. I also write a reminder before some important dates. It's helping. |
Hana | I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop on the computer and make a copy of important documents. According to must-do things, I write them on the sticky paper and put it on the front door to keep in mind. |
