Different students learn in different ways, and it's important to find a way that works best for you. Here are some things that you can try to help you study better.

Make a proper plan.

Decide when, where and how long you are going to study. If you plan your study every time, then it will be easier to achieve your goals(目标).

Test yourself on what you have learned.

After you read something, you should test yourself on it. Try to test yourself days and weeks after you first learn something. You can also work with a partner to test each other.

Take a break.

Research has shown that taking breaks can help you work or study better. A study by the company DeskTime found that the most productive(富有成效) people work for about 52 minutes at a time, and then take a 17-minute break in between. So when you make your study plan, don't forget to include breaks.

Keep healthy.

Getting exercise and sleeping well can actually help you study. Research has found that regular exercise can improve both memory and thinking skills, while sleeping helps the brain save new information.

Jessie is the only child in her family and sometimes she felt bored at weekends. One day she wanted to do something different. It was Mowing the lawn (修剪草坪) in her back yard, but her mother disagreed. "I'm fourteen years old and know how to do it," Jessie said. "Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won't have to worry about it over the weekend." Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie have a try. After all, she was at home and would keep an eve on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower (割草机) from watching her dad. She checked the electricity to make sure the machine could work well, and put on her old clothes and gloves. Mom watched her from the kitchen window. Jessie really knew how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, "You sure did a great job. Dad will be very surprised. "Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie's mom, "You didn't have to mow the lawn. It's my job. But it looks great. Thanks." "I didn't mow it. Jessie did." "Wow, our little girl is growing up!" Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done.

"It was fun, and I will do it again next week," said Jessie.

The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money. "Sure!" said Jessie. Jessie began mowing his lawn. Two other neighbors asked so, then another three. Jessie was now mowing lawns for them all and making some money. "It's really an interesting job," she said to herself.

Are you going to give gifts to your Chinese friends? If you are, please remember these things you shouldn't do. In China, there are some don't about giving presents. Here are some of them. Keep them in mind, or you may make your Chinese friends unhappy or angry.

Avoid giving a clock as a gift. In Chinese saying "sending a clock" is the same as saying "going to a funeral (葬礼)". Therefore, sending a clock to someone as a gift in China is usually regarded as cursing someone. It is very impolite to give a clock as a gift to anyone.

Never give white or yellow flowers, particularly chrysanthemums (菊花). These are funeral flowers in China. Do not offer them as gifts to anyone, especially to elderly people and patients.

Don't send pears or umbrellas to your Chinese friends. Never send pears to newly married couples because the Chinese pronunciation of "pear" is exactly the same as "divorce". In the same way, saying "umbrella" in Chinese means "separation". Sending these gifts to Chinese couples is strongly regarded as a curse of being apart at them.

Don't wrap (包裹) your gifts in wrong colors. You should choose the right colors to wrap your gift. When you wrap your gift, you can use red wrapping paper. Never wrap your gift in any dark colors. If you choose red wrapping paper, you can't go wrong.

Where do you usually use the mobile phone, at home, on the bus, or in the street while walking? Anyway, schools are certainly no longer a place to use it.

Recently, a rule on mobile phone use was passed in China. According to it, students had better not bring mobile phones to school. If they want, they need to get their parents' and school's permission (允许) . What's more, all phones must be kept by teachers during class time.

It's said that the main purpose of the rule is to protect students' eyesight (视力) and prevent them from getting lost in the Internet and video games.

In 2019, China had 175 million Internet users under the age of 18, with 74% having their own mobile phones, according to a report last year. The report found mobile phone users in this group used their phones mostly for online learning, listening to music and playing games.

It's reported that teachers mustn't ask students to finish homework on mobile phones. Schools should provide more public phones to help students get in touch with their parents.

Parents and teachers widely support the rule. In a survey on Weibo, 54% of 1,900 people said they believed it wasn't necessary for school children to take mobile phones to schools. Over a quarter wanted a more flexible (灵活的) rule, with 20% saying students needed mobile phones at school.

When I heard my uncle sing at the first time, I loved his singing very much that I made up my mind to learn how to sing like he. However, when I start to learn to sing, I found that I couldn't control my breath the right way. I asked my uncle for advices. He told me talk while I ran. Her advice worked. I followed how he said and improved my singing by practicing again and again. Practice makes perfect. I can sing very good now in this way. I also learned the true meaning of life: Nothing is too difficult unless you try your best.
