Hi, I’m Amy. I’m here to help you with any study-related problem, big or small. Please send me a message anytime.

—Amy

My problem is time—I don’t have enough time. Next month, I will have twelve exams. How can I possibly study for all of them? I think it’s difficult and impossible.

—Cindy

Hi, Cindy. It isn’t impossible but you have to get started now. Make a study plan and prepare for each subject. It’s better to study for an hour a day than just once a week all day.

I share a bedroom and a desk with my sister. When we study at the desk together, she distracts (使分心) me because she is noisy. I try to talk with her about it, but she gets angry. Can you help me?

—Jane

Hi, Jane. You can discuss with your sister to use the desk at different times. Or you can study at the school library a few times a week. If it’s easier to write instead of talking face to face, try messaging her and explain how terrible you feel.

—Amy

I’m silly. I just find it hard to study. I always stop and start and I keep getting the feeling that I’m learning wrong things. I don’t think you can really help me.

—Liza

Liza, you’re not silly at all! Lots of students have the same experience as you. Sometimes things will improve if you join a study group. Join a group and meet twice or three times a week after school to study together. It’s helpful for lots of students.

Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you’ll learn faster and find you have a good memory (记忆).

Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn better.

Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. It helps you study well, too. Light (光线) is also important. You’ll feel tired easily if there is not enough light.

Of all the good study habits you can develop (养成), asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from each other by asking questions.

One easy but important habit is to tell yourself what you’re studying for. Put your dream grades (分数) on the wall next to your bed or computer. That means you’ll see and think about it every day.

When do you work best? Are you an early bird, a night owl (猫头鹰) or something in between? Find your most productive work time, and then plan to study at that time.

We know health and happiness are important in everyone’s life. Here are some ways to make them easy.

★Eat a balanced diet(平衡饮食). Eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, some grains(谷物) and a little meat.

★Exercise three times a week.

★Get enough sleep. It is best to get eight hours’ sleep a day.

★Keep yourself busy. This is good because it stops you from having bad habits. To keep yourself busy, you can walk around the house, spend time with your pets, do a sport, or do something you enjoy.

★Go out and make friends. Spend time and have fun with them. Talk with them, but you must be sure not to talk about anything bad. You should stay with the people who are healthy and happy themselves.
