Do you study best early in the morning/during the day/at night?

Do you prefer to work with friends/with background music/in silence?

Even the most studious among you will probably have difficulty studying at some stage in your academic career.If or when this happens, the only way to overcome this problem is to go back to basics. First,make sure you have a comfortable environment to study in. some students need to have a quiet space to themselves and can't concentrate if there are too many distractions. Others need some sort of background noise, such as music or the company of friends. Whatever your personal preference is,you need to organize this first of all. next,make sure you have all of the equipment or tools that you need. for example,if you are taking a geography course and you have to learn about countries and their capital cities then you will need to have your atlas to hand. if you're doing your maths homework then be sure to find you calculator,ruler,protractor and compass before you start. Perhaps you're not preparing a homework assignment or project,but are trying to revise for an exam. if so ,you need to know exactly what is on your curriculum. you should also review your notes and make sure that you have a clear understanding of what you lectures have taught you. Of course, people with a learning disorder such as dyslexia阅读障碍may need to work harder than others at their studies as they often struggle to read even relatively simple texts.

Can you tell me about your early education?

well, i went to kindergarten/nursery from the age of four and i remember that i didn't enjoy it very much at all. Primary school小学 was a little better,especially because my mum was a teacher in the school. she taught in the junior part低年级 of the school and she was actually my teacher in first grade年级，but when i went up to the senior school i didn't see very much of her. After that i was luchy enough to receive a scholarship to go to a very good high school高中. My parents could not  have afforded to send me to a private school so it was a really great opportunity for me. it was a single-sex school so there were no boys.i'm glad i did not go to a mixed school because i think there are fewer distractions so everyone can just concentrate on their studies.
