    How do learning habits influence learning results? It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits. There is a famous {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) “Good habits lead to good endings”, which shows the importance of habits.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” also {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (show) a healthy everyday habit helps to build up our body. Thus, good learning habits can help us gain great learning results, high scores and abundant knowledge {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (include). At first, learning habits form our ways of thinking and attitude {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the content of our learning. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (obvious), a good habit can help us to speed up to reach our destinations. As we can see, developing a good habit is so important that I would like to introduce one kind of good learning habits — keeping {#blank#}6{#/blank#} learning diary every day. We can start the habit by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) a learning summary and remember to record something impressive and meaningful. Keep it in mind, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} gradually we can gain this good learning habit and benefit from it.

What's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much), I find out that I still have some bad learning habits {#blank#}10{#/blank#} well. I can only concentrate on reading for a short time, and I will conquer this problem by spending more efforts on concentration practice.

    I believe that through my efforts, I can gain good learning results by having good habits.
