the limited time of our school life is often discussed.Methods of study,I think,can be individualized,but the following suggestions should be helpful to all.First,in class you must keep your attention focused on your teachers lectures,trying to remember all you can.Dont leave everything to memorize after class.Secondly,when you have difficulty in understanding,always ask yourself why several times before you go to ask your teacher or classmates.Thirdly,you must finish your homework on time.Dont let Sunday become another work day.Fourthly,when you preview or review your lessons,you must also keep your thoughts on them;otherwise you will not get good results.Fifthly,if time permits,read as many reference articles or books as possible in order to help you understand your lessons better.In addition,write out a weekly schedule to insure having plenty of time for rest and exercise so as to keep your mind refreshed.,Passage Three On How to Be a Good Student,Different people have different opinions about how to be a good student.As for me,a good student should be measured in terms of at least three basic qualities.First,a good student should be diligent in his study.He should spend more time learning what is required at school.As the proverb goes,“Diligence is the mother of success.”All people of great accomplishments are known for their diligence.Only by working hard will one be able to face the fierce competition in future.Second,a good student should have the virtues of honesty,kindness,and a sense of responsibility.These virtues are indispensable even in such a materialistic society.Lack of these virtues,our society would be in terrible disorder.Third,good health is essential for a good student.Anyone without good health can hardly achieve anything even if he is intelligent.Therefore,a good student should do physical exercise regularly in order to keep healthy.In brief,a good student should possess the above three qualities no matter how the criteria are changing.,
