In classes, your teachers will talk about the topics that you are studying. They provide important information for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say. Here are the three stages（阶段） of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1.Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered, and get you ready to understand new information in class.
2.During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write them in your notes. Examples of signal words are “the most important point… and remember that…”. Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations（缩写） such as med for medicine, using symbols such as “%” for percent, and writing short sentences.
3.After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate（准确） by changing abbreviation into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.

Charles had no parents. He was often made fun of by the people in the town. When Charles was 12, he never remembered having a kind word spoken to him in his whole life.
One day, as Charles walked down the street, he saw something fall from the arms of a young lady just in front of him. As she stopped to pick it up, the others fell down. Charles ran over, helping her pick up all the things and putting them in her arms. “Thank you, dear. You are a nice little boy,” she said kindly, and went on her way after giving him a beautiful smile.
Charles was surprised and a strange feeling passed over him. These were the first warm words he had ever heard. He watched her until she was out of sight, then he ran straight to a forest where a river flowed around the town. He sat down silently on the bank of the river and thought over the words—“Thank you, dear. You are a nice little boy.” The feeling of self-respect(自尊) came back to his life. At that time his life was changed.
With those kind words in his mind, he realized that small kindness can make a big difference and people should always be kind to others.

Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow?” “Is there any wine?” “Did you buy any bread?”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me…?” or “Can I have…?”
It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give…?” You can also use: “May/Can I borrow…?” “Could/Can you lend me…?” “May I have…?” “Could you hand/give me…?” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
As an English learner, we should know how to ask for something |
【推荐2】Now students’ English handwriting (书写) gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? Here are some ways to improve your handwriting.
Use paper with lines
Using paper with lines can keep you writing well when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, writing slowly makes handwriting clear. If you write too fast, you may make more mistakes.
Hold your pen right
When you hold your pen in the correct way, writing is much easier. Some students hold the pencils so hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pen so hard. If you do so, people will think you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control (控制) your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. If you have no time to draw at school, you can practice it at home.
Handwriting is very important. You need to take time to improve it.

Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a top student. In fact, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well, you may improve your study without much work. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan (计划) your week time, you should make a list of things that you have to do. First write down the time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good time for study. Of course, study shouldn’t take all of your time. Don’t forget to leave yourself enough time for hobbies.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television! When you sit down to work, think only about the subject!
Make good use of your time in class. Listen carefully to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. You also need to take notes in class, because it can make it easier for you to learn well.
There are only a few ways mentioned (提到) here to help you with your study. I believe you can find many other ways besides these.
1. Can anyone become a better student if he or she wants to?2. Why does the writer ask us to leave enough time for hobbies?
3. How should we make good use of our time in class?
4. How many ways does the writer mention? What other way(s) can you find to help you with your study?
With the development of technology, a screen reading behavior is appearing. More and more people do some reading by their phones rather than paper books.
Some people say that e-books are more convenient (方便的) than paper books. People learn at different speeds, and mobile learning allows people to learn in their own way at their own pace (步伐). It is also easier for them to share with friends and read at bedtime.
While others say that paper books are more convenient for us to take notes and do less harm to our eyes. And a study shows paper reading can help students get higher scores on a test than online reading.
Which do you prefer: Paper Reading or Online Reading?
Ann | Reading online gives me a large amount of reading. I can read whatever I want and wherever I am. If I want to get more information about something I just read, I can easily search it on the Internet. I always turn off the ads to focus (集中). The wading app will recognize (辨别) my preference for books and prepare books for me. |
Bobby | I don’t prefer online reading. While I am reading online, I get distracted (分散) all the time. Some ads coming up on the screen will cut in my thoughts. This is not helpful to build a thinking system. Maybe when I read something not important such as a comic book. I will choose online reading. But when it comes to something serious, I’d like to choose paper reading. |
Though the two ways of reading have their own advantages and disadvantages, they both play an important part in our life. And whatever advantages online reading has, it just offers a way of reading. It doesn’t take the place of any of the ways. As long as we choose the right way at the right time, we can get something from it.
1. Who prefers paper reading, Ann or Bobby?2. What method can be taken from Ann to help Bobby with his online reading problem?
3. Which way of reading do you think is fit for you? Why do you think so?
【推荐2】When we are talking to someone,we tend to change someone else's mind to our way of thinking. And we may often find it difficult to do that. So here are five tips on how to change someone's mind.
The first one is never to turn the conversation into an argument. It should be a conversation where you show your opinions and the facts that you've collected. By showing them the facts,we want to tell other people that we are right. But emotionally,they may not totally agree with what you say. So when you are trying to change someone's mind,try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument.
The second tip is never to say that you are wrong. If someone makes a statement that you think is wrong,it's better to point it out by saying,"I thought otherwise but I might be wrong,let's look at the facts. "The key is to say that you might be wrong,not that you are wrong. This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that you're not bullheaded（顽固的）and that you're not going to change your opinion. you're showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone else's mind to your way of thinking.
Tip number three is to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible. You may begin your conversation on hobbies that you guys have,something that they're crazy about,something that gets them saying yes. Because the more that you get them to say yes now,the more likely they are to say yes in the future. A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have. It builds up trust between the two of you.
Tip number four is to let the other person do a great amount of talking. If you let them talk more you're going to show that you actually care about their opinions and ideas,which will earn their respect in the end. By listening to them,you're going to create a friendly relationship and build trust. So when you express your opinions,they will also show a willingness to listen. Never interrupt them when they are talking. Just listen patiently with an open mind,encourage them to talk even more and more so that when it's your turn to talk,they'll listen and say nothing.
The last tip is to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs. It's wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion, then they have a sense of pride that it's their idea. Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion, let them feel like it is their idea and they take pride in it.
