How to Study For Exams
Taking exams is stressful, but you can make it easier by improving the way you study. Studying for your exams will keep you from feeling unprepared, and it will set you up for success!
This is easier said than done, but learning how to take good notes will help you once it comes time to study. Write down everything your teacher writes on the board or puts up on the screens. Try to record as much of what the teacher says as possible.
Studying in a dark room is not recommended (推荐). Add lights at night, or in the daytime, open the window coverings (open the window a little, too). People tend to study and focus better in a brighter room with little noise.
Think of your teacher: What is my teacher most likely to ask on the exam? What materials did the teacher once emphasize (强调) before exams? This may help you review the most important information for the exams.
If you don’t know the answer to the question, do the next one and come back to it at the end. Struggling and concentrating on a question you don’t know the answer to can be time consuming (消耗), which makes you lose marks.
A. Take breaks B. Take good notes C. Turn on the light D Think of your teacher and review well E. Do the questions you know first |

You’ve been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by hearing other people talk. Now that you’re a reader, you have another way to learn words. What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don’t know what it means? Following some easy steps can help you.
●Say it
First sound it out. Then say it to yourself. It might sound like a word you know. Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read—you will have the word!
●Use context
If this doesn’t work, take the next step: look at the context—the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. If the word shelter doesn’t look familiar, look at the words around it. They might give you useful information and help you understand the whole sentence or passage.
●Use word parts
If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know? These can help you understand what it means. If you don’t know the meaning of miner, try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things. A lot of times, -er at the end of a word means “a person who does something”. So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
If the three steps above don’t work, you can use the fourth step—look it up! You can find the word in a dictionary—either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know.
1. How many steps are mentioned in the passage when you come to an unknown word?2. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
3. Why do you look around the words or sentences around an unfamiliar word?
4. According to Paragraph 4, a founder might be _________.
A.a person who sets up a company |
B.a person who finds something |
C.a thing that is used to look for people |

6 . Clara Prado has worked as an English teacher for more than twenty years. In a recent interview, she told us her own experience of learning and teaching English.
How did you learn English yourself?
I started learning English when I was about six or seven years old. A new language school opened near my home. I started attending classes twice a week. I enjoyed these classes. During my teenage years, I attended several international youth meetings. I also went to Australia as an exchange student. I learned a lot from communicating with native English speakers.
What’s the best part of teaching English for you?
I have met many wonderful people throughout my career. Teachers are a fun group of people. They often get excited about a challenge. Many teachers are creative. They almost always find a way to make things work. I’ve learned a lot from them.
And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams and achieve something they have worked hard for.
What suggestions do you always give to your students?
As a language learner, you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. The goal is not to be perfect. It’s to be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong process. No one can learn to speak a language well overnight. You will be speaking just a little more every day.
What challenges do you think learners face today?
I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. Technology and many other things are changing fast. We have no way of knowing what will happen in 10, 20 or 50 years from now, so how can you prepare yourself or others? Well, you can’t be prepared for everything. But you can equip yourself with creativity and the ability to keep learning throughout your life and to work with others. Most importantly, you must stay strong and carry on.
