37、 basic principles that others can easily learn. To begin with, top students know how to set their priorities right.

39、eeth. Among all the students interviewed, every one agreed that study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some thrive at night when all is silent. Others prefer to study as soon as they come home from school when the lessons are fresh in their minds. However, all agreed that consiste

Another student immediately files the days notes in colour-coded folders so tha

41、t they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique advocated by top students is to read effectively. This includes speed-reading, improving ones memory or retention ability, and actively asking questions that will lead to a full understanding of the authors message. A studen

42、t must also learn to be organised. For example, a top student who is actively involved in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their 3Unit 1Read and Explore Text A37Discovering the Main IdeasIn-Depth StudyVoicing Your Views14 It is

43、 also important for students to know how to schedule their time. They must know how to pace each assignment or project according to their daily timetable and work ability so that they might not be overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. Being able to set timetables not only allows students more time to re

44、view and polish their work, it also prevents them from procrastinating. Top students believe that a secret of their success is the taking down of good notes during lessons and using them for revision. One student revealed that she writes notes from the text on one side of her notebook and those from

45、 her teachers lectures on the other side. This allows her to review both aspects of each lesson at once. The_Unit 1Read and Explore Text A38Discovering the Main IdeasIn-Depth StudyVoicing Your Views1student also revealed that instead of wasting time whispering to friends and getting ready to rush ou

46、t of the class just before the bell rings, she uses those few minutes to jot down a two or three-sentence summary of the lessons principal points. She then scans the notes to refresh her memory before the next days class.5 Another winning formula which teachers promote lies in a students ability to

47、hand in neat work. According to one professor, the student who turns in neat work is already scoring an A. _ on the way toUnit 1Read and Explore Text A39Discovering the Main IdeasIn-Depth StudyVoicing Your Views1In the classroom context, it is equally important for students to speak up and ask quest

48、ions. This is perhaps the best way for a student to clarify any doubts. Classroom participation also demonstrates a students intellectual curiosity. As a student concisely puts it, “Better grades come from better understanding.” The value of studying together was demonstrated in an experiment conduc

49、ted at one top university. The study revealed that students who discussed homework and problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another scored higher than those who laboured on their own. The experiment also illuminated the value of hypothetical tests conduc

50、ted among the students and on their own. This means that students frame tentative _6Unit 1Read and Explore Text A40Discovering the Main IdeasIn-Depth StudyVoicing Your Views1test questions based on their notes and give each other or themselves written examinations the day before a test. Experts conf

51、irmed that students who devise possible test questions often find many of the same questions during the real examination and thus score higher.7 Another technique employed by top students is to do more than the assigned homework. A student revealed that if her teacher gives five problems, she will u

52、ndertake ten. In the students words, “Part of learning is practising. The more you practise, the more you learn.” Last_ _Unit 1Read and Explore Text A41Discovering the Main IdeasIn-Depth StudyVoicing Your Views1but not least, all experts and top students agree that the most important “secret” of sup

53、er-achievers lies in the crucial contribution by parents. From infancy, super-achievers were taught the importance of learning by their parents. The latter set high standards for their children and held them to those standards. They encouraged their children in their studies but did not undertake th

54、e work for them. Instead of pressuring their children, these parents were always loving, gentle and took pains to explain and motivate. They impressed the lessons of responsibility on their children, and the children delivered. _Unit 1Read and Explore Text A42In-Depth StudyVoicing Your ViewsDiscover
