It is never too late to develop great study habits. If youre starting a new school year， or you just want to improve your grades and school performance， take a look at this list of good habits and start making some changes in your routine.

養成良好的學習習慣永遠都不算晚。如果你剛開始新一學年的學習，或者只是想提高你的成績和改進你在學校的表現，那么看看以下列出的好的學習習慣，并開始改變一下你的日常習慣吧。

1. Write Down Every Assignment1 記下每個作業任務

The most logical place to write down your assignments is in a planner2， but you might prefer to keep a to■do list in a simple notebook or in your cell phone note pad. It doesnt really matter what tool you use， but it is absolutely essential to your success to write down every single assignment， due date， test date， and task.

最好是在記事簿上記下你的作業任務，不過，你可能更樂意在筆記本上或者在手機記事本上記下一個簡單的待辦事項列表。你使用什么工具來記并不重要，但寫下每一項任務、截止日期、測試日期和任務內容對于你的成功來說都是絕對必要的。

2. Remember to Bring Your Homework to School 記得把作業帶到學校

It sounds simple enough， but many Fs come from students forgetting to bring a perfectly good paper to school with them. Does your homework have a home？ Is there a special place where you always put your paperwork each night？ To avoid forgetting your homework， you must establish a strong homework routine with a special homework station where you work each night. Then you must get in the habit of putting your homework where it belongs right after you finish it， whether this is in a special folder3 on your desk or in your backpack. Prepare every night before bed！

這聽起來很簡單，但許多不及格的情況都是由于學生忘記把自己做得非常好的作業帶到學校而造成的。你的家庭作業有容身之所嗎？你每晚是否有專門的地方放置你的家庭作業呢？為了避免忘記帶你的作業，你必須養成一個牢固的日常作業習慣，每晚在專門的地方做作業。然后你必須養成在完成作業后把作業放在正確的地方的習慣，無論是放在你桌上特定的文件夾里還是在背包里都可以。每晚睡前做好準備！

3. Communicate With Your Teacher 和老師交流

Every successful relationship is built upon clear communication. A student■teacher rela■tionship is no different. Miscommunication4 is another one of those factors that can cause bad grades， despite good efforts on your part. At the end of the day， make sure you understand every assignment thats expected of you. The more questions you ask， the more prepared youll be.

每種成功的關系都建立在清晰的溝通的基礎上。師生關系也是一樣。溝通不暢則是可能導致盡管你在努力卻成績不好的因素之一。在一天結束的時候，確保你明白你要完成的每一件任務。你問的問題越多，你就準備得越好。

4. Organize With Color 用顏色進行系統化

Design your own color■coding system to keep your assignments and your thoughts organized. You may select a single color for each class （like science or history） and use that color for your folder， your highlighters， your sticky notes， and your pens. Youll be surprised to discover how much strong organization skills can change your life！

Color■coding is also a tool to use when conducting research. Assign a specific color for every topic of interest. Place a flag on a page containing information you will need to study or to cite. It works like magic！

設計自己的顏色編碼系統，使你自己的作業任務和想法井井有條。你可以為每一種課（如科學或歷史）選擇一個顏色和并使用該顏色的文件夾，熒光筆，便簽和筆。你會驚奇地發現系統化的技巧能多大程度上改變你的生活！

顏色編碼也是進行研究時所用的一種工具。為每個感興趣的主題指定一個特定的顏色。在包含你需要研究的或引用的頁面上加個標記。它會像魔法一樣發揮作用！

5. Establish a Study Zone at Home 在家打造一個學習的空間

Take the time to assess5 your individual style and your real needs and plan for the perfect study place. After all， if you cant concentrate， you certainly cant expect to learn very well. Students are different. Some need a completely quiet room free from interruptions6 when they study， but others actually study better listening to quiet music in the background or taking several breaks.

Find a place to study that fits your specific personality and learning style. Then stock your study space with school supplies that will help you avoid last■minute emergencies.

花些時間來評估一下你的個人風格和你的真正需要，并打造一個非常適合學習的地方。畢竟，如果你不能集中精力，你當然也就不能指望能學得很好。學生們各有不同。有些人在學習時需要一個完全安靜的空間，不受打擾，但另外一些人實際上則是在有輕音樂當背景音樂時或者中途休息幾次的情況下學習得更好。

找一個適合你個性和學習風格的地方學習，然后準備好你的學習用品，這能幫你避免總在最后關頭遇到緊急情況。

6. Prepare Yourself for Test Days 為考試日做好準備

You know that its important to study for test days， right？ But there are other things you should consider in addition to the actual material that the test will cover. What if you show up for test day and the room is freezing cold？ For many students， this would cause enough of a distraction to interrupt concentra■

tion. That leads to bad choices and bad answers. Plan ahead for heat or cold by layering your clothing.

And what happens when you spend so much time on one question that you dont have enough time to finish the exam？ Another way to prepare for test day is to take a watch and be mindful of time management.

你知道為考試日做的學習準備工作是很重要的，不是嗎？但是除了測試涉及的實際內容外，還應考慮其他的事情。如果你考試當天，考場很冷會怎么樣？對許多學生來說，這足以分散其注意力，導致答題錯誤。應提前計劃好衣服每層怎么穿以應對冷熱。

如果你花太多時間在一道題上，以至于沒有足夠的時間來完成考試，會怎么樣？做好考試準備的另一種方法是帶手表，注意控制好時間。

7. Know Your Dominant7 Learning Style 了解自己的主要學習風格

Many students will struggle in a subject without understanding why. Sometimes this is because students dont understand how to study in a way that matches their brain style.

Auditory learners are those who learn best through hearing things. Visual learners retain more information when they use visual aids， and tactile learners benefit by doing hands■on projects.
