【推荐1】Do you usually feel you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.

◆ Study with a partner or in groups

Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. 1 Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.

◆ Step into your teacher’s shoes

Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” 2 Learn from them for the next test. Remember, teachers don’t expect you to memorize every single detail, just the ones they feel are important. It’s your job to figure out what that is.

◆ Paint bigger pictures

3 It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.

Try this exercise: memorize these numbers in order 6...2...9...1...3...8...4...0...5.

Now try to memorize these numbers 629....138....405

The bottom is easier right? It is the same order of numbers, but put into the context of bigger numbers. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.

◆ 4

A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.

◆ Take breaks to relax your brain

Your brain is like a muscle. 5 But it can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.

A．Feed your brain.

B．It needs exercise to make it stronger.

C．Relax your brain by eating and drinking.

D．If in doubt, by all means, ask your teachers.

E．You have probably experienced a lot of tests and quizzes by now.

F．Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.

G．Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.

文章大意：本文是说明文，介绍了关于写论文的四种办法。

【推荐2】Writing a school paper may not be that easy for you, especially when you have difficulty in organizing your thoughts on paper. So you may need some help. 1

Make sure that you have understood all of the teacher’s directions. Not every high school teacher follows the same rules and standards of writing as each will most likely have his own set of directions. 2 You can do this either during class or in the office.

3 Teachers will usually give out just one topic for a school paper. This topic will usually cover vast areas of interests. Students will be given a chance to be critical and creative at the same time. Make sure that you take advantage of this by thinking about a really unique topic. So your school paper will stand out from the rest of your classmates’ works. If you have trouble thinking of what to write, then you should brainstorm with your classmates.

Research your choice of topic completely. Once you are sure what to write about, start checking materials that can be included in your school paper. 4 Just do not forget to take notes of all of your resources as these will be your proof if your teacher requires it later.

Always start by writing a clear outline. An outline would be your best bet in making that school paper as organized as possible. 5

A．Have a good introduction to your paper.

B．Look at the latest edition of the writing.

C．If you have to, then collect relevant resources.

D．Follow some of these ways of how to properly write a school paper.

E．Do not hesitate to ask your teacher about any matter that needs to be clarified.

F．Make sure you make one first before jumping into the careful writing process.

G．Do not limit yourself to uninteresting and unoriginal topics for a school paper.

【推荐3】Almost all of us are guilty of spending too much time on our devices so we don't have enough time to enjoy the world around us. We know that little bit of truth might be hard to take in and you might be thinking of shutting off your device now out of guilt. 1 We've got some tips on limiting your screen time so you can improve your quality of life.

●Set time out to physically lock your phone. One of the keys to cutting down your screen time is to be disciplined. Picking out a period of time each day to step away from your device is a great way to limit screen time. 2 Of course, this won't prevent you from picking up your phone to scroll through social media or play games. You may also turn your phone off and place it in another room for the amount of time you'd like to stay off of it.

On iPhones and other Apple devices, you may have noticed that a Weekly Screen Time Report is provided, which gives you the average hours you spend per day on your screen. It even shows you which apps you are using and how frequently you use them. Monitoring this will help you be aware of the amount of time you spend on your device. 3

● 4 The apps like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube will send you a reminder when it's time to log off. This feature is easy to set up and definitely holds you accountable for managing your time. 5 If so, you're sure to be on the right track for success in your academic and personal life!
