⑵Example Two:

"When a teacher asks us to do a lot of homework," says Dave Roman, "I will draw up a timetable and plan to do it little by little, so it isn't so tiring."

⑶Example Three:

One student put a vocabulary list on the wall of the bathroom. He learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth. Another student used the time to remember biology terms while practicing running.

⑷Example Four:

In high school, Mike played football, painted and was in the band. "I was so busy that I couldn't waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything in order," he says.

⑸Example Five:

Christi is an excellent student at the university. If her math teacher asks her to do five problems, she does ten. If the history teacher asks her to read five passages, she reads ten, "parts of learning is practicing," she says, "and the more you practice, the more you learn."

    Maybe you are an average(普通的) student. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} However, this is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.

    Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, ect. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment (娱乐). A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

    Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

    Make good use of your time in class. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

    Study regularly(有规律地). When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.

    Develop a good attitude (态度) towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. Then help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.
