Good afternoon fellow students. \u00a0I\u2019m Chris Wong, the academic leader of the school.\u00a0 It is my pleasure to speak to all of you today.\u00a0 The new school year has commenced for nearly a month.\u00a0 Can you tune yourself in the new school year? \u00a0Are you worrying about studying ten subjects this year?\u00a0 Do you fear that no matter how hard you try, your academic performance will still be not good enough?\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry.\u00a0 You have our support.\u00a0 The teachers and the academic leaders are always ready to offer you advice and assistance.\u00a0 Today I am here to give you some tips on how to study effectively and share with you strategies on how to use your time efficiently.<\/p>\n
Before I start talking about studying strategy and methods, allow me to once again stress the paramount importance of time management.\u00a0 We only have 24 hours a day.\u00a0 Obviously that is not enough even we are willing to work around the clock.\u00a0 Therefore, we have to use our limited time with wisdom.\u00a0 By using it wisely, I don\u2019t mean that we should spend all our time burying our heads under heaps of books, giving up all our activities and only focusing on our study.\u00a0\u00a0 What I\u2019d like to say is that we should make use good use of our time, being a good manager of it.\u00a0 We should try our best to avoid procrastination and accomplish some tasks every day.\u00a0 In order to achieve these, we need to adopt some strategies.\u00a0 First, we should regularly compile our to-do lists, which help us schedule our work daily.\u00a0 After making certain what we need to do on a certain day, we could know exactly what our short term goal is.\u00a0 It also helps us identify and achieve our aims on that day.\u00a0 A timetable can also help a lot.\u00a0 With a timetable, we can schedule concretely our work for a certain period of time very day.\u00a0 In this way, procrastination can be avoided as we can strike a balance between relaxation and work.\u00a0 Good time management could help us maintain a more disciplined and effective learning life.<\/p>\n
Enough for the tips on time management.\u00a0 Now I\u2019d like to tip you off with several study strategies.\u00a0 A mind map is always helpful for organization.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to include every detail in a mind map.\u00a0 Instead you should jot down the general ideas of the topic.\u00a0 Therefore, you can have a brief summary of the topic and you can always take it out and have a look at it while you are travelling.<\/p>\n
It is essential to spare some time for studying every day.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t have to be a long period of time.\u00a0 Five to ten minutes is enough already.\u00a0 You must pay full attention and jot clear notes during lessons. When you return home, you could try to read the notes again and recall what you have learnt that day.\u00a0 The entire process will take at most 15 minutes. \u00a0It is as easy as 1, 2, 3 and you can refresh your memory about the topic.\u00a0 You can even tidy up and try to memorize the points if you have more spare time on that day.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, do regular revision exercises.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to drill yourself into oblivion just before the exam.\u00a0 You could finish the exercise bit by bit every week.\u00a0 Exercises are essential practice if you want to get a satisfactory result, especially for mathematics.\u00a0 I do practices for the exam two times a week.\u00a0 I spend around one and a half hour each time, which is already quite adequate.\u00a0 This can consolidate your knowledge and brush up the skills you have learnt during lessons.\u00a0 Most importantly, you will get one less thing to worry about before the exam.<\/p>\n
Moving on to motivating yourself.\u00a0 Sometimes, you are already exhausted after school and it is very difficult to be motivated and work hard.\u00a0 You can reward yourself with something nice if you have completed the tasks on that day.\u00a0 The reward can be anything that makes you happy.\u00a0 It can be playing video games for an hour, walking your dog, etc.\u00a0 I personally love to reward myself with junk food.\u00a0 The point is you must finish the task before you treat yourself with something nice.\u00a0 Otherwise, it would not motivate you.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, we all pursue to achieve high, but the point is not all of us are determined enough to persist.\u00a0 I am here to remind you that only those who work hard and persevere can be successful. Only those who are determined to improve themselves can accomplish success.\u00a0 Therefore, I\u2019d like to urge all of you to be diligent and persistent.\u00a0 It is never too late to start.\u00a0 It is about whether you are willing to get started.\u00a0 Just remember the golden principles: No. 1 work hard and work smart.\u00a0 No. 2 use you time efficiently.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n
