During the process of learning English, we students are bound to run across a variety of difficulties. When I was in senior high school, vocabulary was the biggest headache for me. There were always a sea of new words for me to cope with. Apparently, I couldn’t interpret the hidden meaning of a complex sentence, much less a well-written text. Worse still, I couldn’t memorize the new words.

Try to guess the words in context. When you see an unfamiliar word, do not skip over it impatiently. Try to puzzle out its possible meaning in the context of the sentence, then look it up in the dictionary and confirm its definition.
As for memorizing the words, figure out the spelling rules and classify them in chunks.
Learning is endless. To be a lifelong learner definitely requires a lot.

You go to school and learn. But when you finish high school or university, is learning done? The answer is “NO”. In fact, you are learning all the time. It’s called lifelong learning(终身学习).
Why will you be a lifelong learner? Lifelong learning is very important in the information age. To be a lifelong learner can help you get rich knowledge to face new challenges. It’s helpful to improve yourself.
How can you be lifelong learner? Here are some tips for you:
☆Seek knowledge. Always search for much knowledge on a topic you are interested in. Make use of every chance to learn knowledge.
☆Think critically(批判性地). Always use a lot of ways to select useful information for questions and give your own judgment. Think in other perspectives (角度). Don’t simply trust what experts say.
☆Solve problems. Always see problems as challenges and new experiences. Put your knowledge into practice. Try to work out the problems with your knowledge and your judgment.
Remember: It’s never too late to learn and it’s never too old to learn. Learning is life. So, make lifelong learning one of your goals(目标)!

Think about Positive Thoughts
You are likely to engage in negative self-talk like, “This is impossible” or “There’s no way I’ll learn all of this”. But if you reverse (转变) this mindset, you’ll be more successful. Positive self-talk will help you stay motivated and encouraged as you tackle tough subjects that nay seem impossible.

The more you know about a test and how it is scored, the more efficiently you can deal with it. With the development of technology, you have access to so many extra resources that are designed to help you get the most out of your studies.
