time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with

something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn
English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs
or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not
get bored.

Practicing and learning from mistakes

Good learners think about what they are good at and what
they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”!

Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless

you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also

not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did

not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying

many times and learning from his mistakes.
be good at 擅长于……
不用就作废
即使=even though
熟能生巧。
be afraid of doing sth.害怕做某事
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study.
Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For

example, they may take notes by writing down key
words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also

look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
找到；发现
画思维导图
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class.
They even ask each other and try to find out the answers.

Knowledge comes from questioning.

Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings

something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of

you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.
互相；彼此
知识来源于质疑。
学习是一个终生的旅程
