TODAY IN CLASS:

-Speaking about learning English: one tip for me, another one for my mate!

1.   Practise every day. Make yourself a study plan. Decide how much time a week you are going to spend studying and stick to it. Establish a routine.

2.  Keep a notebook of new words you learn, or use our Quizlet. Use them in sentences and try to say them at least 3 times when you speak.

3.        Use your body clock. If you’re not a morning person, study in the afternoon.

4.   Plan to take a test. You’ll find that you work harder when you need to study for something.

5.      Create an atmosphere in which you want to learn, not because you have to. You’ll learn more when you’re learning because you want to.

6.   Get help! If you don’t understand something you’ve got to ask someone. Ask your teacher, classmates or friends for help.

7.        Review! Review! Review! Make sure that you take the time to review things you have studied in the past.

8.   It’s not a good idea to study on your own for more than 30 minutes at a time. Take regular breaks, get some fresh air and stretch your legs.

9.     Don’t be in such a hurry to move up a level. Concentrate on the level you are at now.

10. Watch DVDs or NETFLIX rather than TV. It’s better to use something that you can watch over again to catch information you might have missed the first time.
