大学英语精读-1 Unit One: How to Improve Your Study Habits -2

This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time.

Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.

2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area.

It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions.

When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.

3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully.

As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized.

Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions.

Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well.

4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later.

Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.

5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.

Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about.
