10招幫你應對開學季範例

hard classes

學習有難度的課程

Be passionate about learning.

對學習充滿熱情

I once had an advisor that said to me when I expressed fear of a difficult class, "Do you want to get an education or not?"

當我表示自己對一門很難的課程十分害怕時，我的指導老師問我：“那你還想不想接受教育呢？”

Up, Every Time

展示自己，每時每刻

Make your classes your highest priority.

將學習放在最重要的位置

If you've got children, I understand that this isn't always possible. Children should always come first. But if you don't show up for your classes, you're not getting that education we discussed in No. 1.

如果你已經爲人父母，我能夠理解，這是不太可能的。你會將孩子放在更重要的位置。但是，如果你沒有在課堂上展示自己，那麼你也就沒有做到我們在第一點裏討論的內容。

Make sure you've got a good plan for seeing that your children are cared for when you're scheduled to be in class, and when you need to study. It really is possible to raise children while you're going to school. People do it every day.

當你報名了學習某門課程時並要開始學習時，你要確保自己已經將孩子安頓周全。學習和照顧孩子兼顧是人之常情。每天都有人做着這樣的事。

in the Front Row

坐在前排

If you happen to be shy, sitting in the front row can be very uncomfortable at first, but I promise you, it's one of the best ways to pay attention to everything being taught. You can hear better. You can see everything on the board without having to crane your neck around the head in front of you.

如果你是一個靦腆的人，那麼一開始坐在前排可能會讓你有點不自在。但是，我向你保證，這是接受老師傳授的內容的最好的辦法之一。你也可以聽得更清楚。不用伸長脖子，你就可以看到黑板上所有的內容。

You can make eye contact with the professor. Don't underestimate the power of this. If your teacher knows you're really listening and that you care about what you're learning, he or she will be extra willing to help you. Besides, it'll feel like you've got your own private teacher.

你可以和老師有眼神接觸。不要小看這一點起到的作用。如果你的老師總是能夠知道，你是很認真的在聽他講課，並且很重視學習的話，他可能會對你提供額外的幫助。除此之外，這會使你感覺，自己又多了一位私人教師。

Questions

提問

Ask questions immediately if you don't understand something. If you're in the front row and have been making eye contact, your instructor probably already knows by the look on your face that you don't understand something. A polite raising of your hand is all you need to do to indicate you've got a question.

如果你對某個內容不懂，就可以立即提問。如果你坐在前排，並和老師有眼神交流，你的老師就很可能從你的面部表情就能得知，你對某個內容不太明白。你需要舉起你的手，表示你有疑問。

If it isn't appropriate to interrupt, make a quick note of your question so you don't forget, and ask later.

如果此時打斷老師講課不太合適，你可以快速記下自己的問題，以免忘記，之後再問老師。

Having said this, don't make a pest of yourself. Nobody wants to hear you ask a question every 10 minutes. If you're completely lost, make an appointment to see your teacher after class.

說到這一點，你要注意的是，不要影響其他的人。沒有人想每隔十分鐘就聽到你提問一次。如果你實在是不懂的話，可以在課後約上老師再討論。

te a Study Space

創造一個學習空間

Carve out a place at home that is your study space. If you've got a family around you, make sure everyone understands that when you're in that space, you're not to be interrupted unless the house is on fire.

在家裏創造一個屬於自己的學習空間。如果身邊家人都在身邊，你就要確保大家都明白你是在裏面學習，除非房子着火，他們是不會打擾到你的。

Create a space that helps you make the most of your study time. Do you need absolute quiet or do you prefer to have loud music playing? Do you like working at the kitchen table in the midst of everything or do you a quiet room with the door shut? Know your own style and create the space you need.

創造一個學習空間，來幫助你最大限度地利用好學習時間。你是喜歡絕對的安靜，抑或吵鬧的音樂呢？你是喜歡在餐桌上辦公，還是想關上門創造了一個安靜的空間。理解你喜歡的類型，並創造屬於自己的空間。

All the Work, Plus More

完成所有的事，甚至更多

Do your homework. Read the assigned pages, and then some. Plug your topic into the Internet, grab another book at the library, and see what else you can learn about the subject.

完成家庭作業，閱讀指定的內容，以及其他的事。在網絡上查找關於你的學習主題的內容，在圖書館看看書，再看看還可以學到哪些關於主題的內容。

Turn your work in on time. If extra credit work is offered, do that too.

準時完成你的工作。即使還有額外的任務，也要如此。

I know this takes time, but it'll ensure you really know your stuff. And that's why you're going to school. Right?

我知道，這是需要時間的，但是這會使你更加了解自己所做的事。這也會是你到學校學習的原因，對吧？

Practice Tests

完成實踐測試

While you're studying, pay attention to the material you know will be on a test and write a quick practice question. Start a new document on your laptop and add questions as you think of them.

在你學習的時候，你要留意會考到的內容，並快速寫下實踐問題。在筆記本電腦上新建一個文件夾，並將你的問題添加進去。

or Join a Study Group

組建或加入一個學習小組

A lot of people study better with others. If that's you, form a study group in your class or join one that's already organized.

許多人和夥伴一起學習效果會更好。如果你也是這樣的話，可以在班上組建一個學習小組，或者加入一個已有的小組。

There are lots of benefits to studying in a group. You have to be organized. You can't procrastinate. You have to really understand something to be able to explain it out loud to someone else.

許多人在學習小組中受益良多。你得有條有理地進行，不能拖延時間。你要將學習的內容徹底消化，並能夠向別人複述出來。

One Planner

制定計劃

I don't know about you, but if I had a separate calendar for work, school and life, I'd be a complete mess. When everything in your life is on one calendar, in one planner, you can't double-book anything. You know, like an important test and a dinner with your boss.

我不瞭解你是什麼樣的情況，但是如果我根據工作，生活和生活各自準備一個日曆，我會手忙腳亂的。如果你生活中所有的事都記在一個日曆上，在一個計劃中，你就不能重複安排任何事了，就像一個重要的測試或者和老闆的晚餐一樣。

tate

冥想

One of the best things you can do to improve your entire life, not just school, is meditate. Fifteen minutes a day is all you need to feel calm, centered and confident.

想要改善自己的生活，而不只是學業，最好的方法之一就是冥想。每天花上十五分鐘，靜下心來，集中注意力並充滿自信。

Meditate any time, but 15 minutes before you study, 15 minutes before class, 15 minutes before a test, and you'll be amazed at how well you can perform as a student.

你可以在任何時候進行冥想，但你可以在學習之前的15分鐘，上課前的15分鐘，考試前的15分鐘進行冥想，你就會自己身爲學生的良好表現而感到驚訝了。
