Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a t 1 student. In f 2 , anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well, you may improve your study w 3 much work. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time, you should make a l 4 of things that you have to do. First write down the time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good time for studying. Of course, studying shouldn't take all of your time. Don't forget to leave y 5 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 o 6 just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television! When you sit down to work, think o 7 about the subject!
Make good use of your time in class. Listen c 8 to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class m 9 less work later. You also need to take notes in class, because it can m it easier for you to learn well.
There are only a few ways mentioned here to h 10 you with your studying. I believe you find many other ways besides these.
