I\u2019m Harry Tsang from 4E, this year\u2019s academic leader.\u00a0 Are you now feeling stressed and confused? Maybe Yes. As all of you have been promoted to F.3, which is a very important transition period, your studies are no longer as easy as that in Forms One and Two.\u00a0 So, I\u2019m going to introduce to you a slogan, P.D.F, which will remind you how to study efficiently and strategically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">First of all, I\u2019d like to start with \u2018P\u2019, which stands for preparation as well as paying attention in all the lessons. Why is preparation essential?\u00a0 The thing is, if you do not know what you\u2019re going to learn, you\u2019ll be like working in a \u2018foggy\u2019 environment during the lesson. Your brains are not ready to receive anything!\u00a0 It is always a good practice for you to jot down the \u2018ambiguous\u2019 points from the textbooks before attending the lessons. Get prepared first. Afterwards, you should stay focused in the lesson as it helps you clarify your misconceptions and enhance your memories.\u00a0 In this way, you will not lag behind and are more able to catch up with the teaching pace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">The next step is \u2018D\u2019, standing for diligence.\u00a0 Well, I don\u2019t suggest you rushing just before the exams, but please make efforts regularly and wisely. The way to be diligent is to finish all homework by heart.\u00a0 Don\u2019t laugh and do remember my words, you\u2019re finishing and learning from your homework but not CLEARING it.\u00a0 A lot of students actually underestimate the power of doing assignments.\u00a0 Indeed, they can test your understanding on certain topics and skills.\u00a0 When you try to apply your knowledge to the homework, you activate your brain and turn the knowledge your own wisdom and common sense. What\u2019s more, you may even spare some more time doing extra exercises. In a word, hard work is essential if you want to excel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">Last but not least, letter \u2018F\u2019 is your key to success.\u00a0 \u2018F\u2019 means familiarizing yourself with the typical questions and universal techniques.\u00a0 Some of you may find that the exam questions tend to vary from what you\u2019ve learnt.\u00a0 Apparently, the ways to ask a question vary, but the logic behind is somehow the same. You find the questions strange to you because you can\u2019t trigger yourself to retrieve the right information from your brains or apply the right skills you\u2019ve learnt.\u00a0 As long as you\u2019ve practised enough, you can get on to the right path although the structure of questions changes.\u00a0 This step is relatively important for the subjects requiring calculation.\u00a0 However, you\u2019re to familiarize yourself with the skills concerning calculation rather than the structure of questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12.1599998474121px; line-height: 1.3em;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 115%;\">By the way, you and I surely understand that the process of learning could an extreme hardship. But remember, \u2018No Pain, No Gain\u2019. Our efforts will pay off one day in the future.\u00a0 As a F.3 student, just studying hard will not do you any favour. Please bear P.D.F. in mind and work it out.\u00a0 Then your study will be different, at least mine has been different. That\u2019s all for my tips. Have a fruitful life this year!
