Homework
Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.
Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights - or maybe even just for tonight? It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.
It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can - but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night.But don't pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done!
Most people's attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack - there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister.Now you're free to hang out.
A. Homework is a major part of going to school.
B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.
C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.
D. But if you're really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.
E. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.
F. And no teacher still believes that "chewed by the dog" line - even when it's true!
G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.
When was the last time you read a book or a magazine article? Do your everyday reading habits centre around updates on the Internet? In case you are one of innumerable individuals who don't make a habit of reading consistently(持续的)you may be passing up a great opportunity: Reading has a remarkable number of advantages and only a couple of advantages of reading are recorded below.
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to overcome any challenge you'll ever face. Additionally, here's a bit of food for thought: Should you ever find yourself in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.
At the same time, the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they'll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ranking people with self-confidence can be a great encouragement to your self-esteem(自尊). It could even aid in your career as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific advances, and global events. Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency.
When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history as well as a variety of plots that weave their way through every story. That's a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses(神经元的突触)are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is!
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away(溜走)when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms(领域)while an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.
