Every person wants to achieve the goals set at the beginning of a new school year. The following are some ways to help you achieve your goals.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}When it comes to choosing your goal, ensure that it states precisely what it is that you want to achieve. Don't generalize. Your goal should involve both what you want to achieve and the effort that you will put in to achieve it. 

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Having a copy of your goal makes it real. You can write you goal in a journal you'll be keeping all year, or you can write it on a poster and stick it on your desk so that you can look at it each day. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you're training your brain to accept the effort needed to make the goal happen.

    Try various methods. One may not work while another may be just right for you. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Some people learn best through writing, some through listening and reading, and some through talking it through. Once you realize which way works for you, you can work better and achieve your goal easily.

    Think positive. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Negative thoughts are unhelpful and they became roadblocks. Stop telling yourself you can't and start telling yourself you can, and talk about you are doing rather than hoping you can do something. Always believe that you're capable, even if you have difficulty along the way.

    Reward yourself along the way. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Occasionally, when you've achieved certain “milestones” in your goal plan, take a break and reward yourself. Watch a movie, visit a friend who lives across town, go to the ice cream shop with your friends or buy yourself something new.

A. Write down your goal.

B. Choose specific and realistic goals

C. Be aware of the way you learn best

D. Remember that everyone makes mistakes

E. Set aside some time each week for exercise

F. All study and no reward can break your spirit

G. If you're not in the right state of mind, you won't be able to succeed.

If poetry is not your cup of tea, then you will be afraid of the assignments that ask you to analyse poetry. However, even though you "hate" poetry, your final analysis may find you citing(引用) lines from Emily Dickinson or Edgar Allen Poe. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Select the poem carefully. In a poem analysis, you will generally be given a selection of two or three poems. You must pick one to analyse. Be careful. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Sometimes the shorter poems are very difficult poems. Often, longer poems are more like stories.

Research the poet. There will be research already performed on the poet you've selected. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Often the poet's personal life has a direct effect on his or her works.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Your outline should consist of an introduction, a thesis statement(论点), three pieces of analysis, and a conclusion to bring it all together. Put these basic sentences into an outline structure, which will make the writing of the paper much easier.

A. Create an outline.

B. Communicate with other readers first.

C. Here are some tips that help you analyse a poem.

D. However, remember not to copy, or ignore the original poem.

E. Many students select short poetry as their preference for analysis.

F. Read about the poet's life, history and style as you begin your analysis.

G. Become familiar with different poem structures before you finish the analysis.
