Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline. There are six areas which are crucial to developing good study habits. Work on these and you will become an effective student.

Targets

Always set a realistic work target. Don't try to do too much. For example, plan to read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend. This kind of detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment. It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan. This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail!

Rewards

Develop a system of small rewards for your work. For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a favorite piece of music after one hour's study. Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself.

Timing

Make sure you choose a suitable time to study. Try to make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day. If you plan to start work at a certain time, say 7 pm, do not find reasons to put off getting started. You can watch a DVD later, and your emails are not urgent!

Quantity

A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting - so daunting, in fact, that it can be difficult to sit down and make a start. Break the larger task down into several smaller ones. For example, make a list of questions that you will have to deal with in your essay, and then approach each question separately. This makes the work more manageable.

Notes and Learning styles

The books you are studying won't always present information in a way that suits your learning style. It is, therefore, worthwhile spending time making notes and organizing them in a way that suits you best. It is also a good idea to keep your notebooks neat and well-organized. This will make it much easier to retrieve information later.

Revision

Don't leave revision until the last moment. When you set your study targets, allow regular revision time. This is much more effective than trying to cram before an exam.

(Adapted from https://rdsic.edu.vn/blog)

Question 24. How does the writer think you can develop good study habits? 

A. By setting a realistic work target

B. By planning and considering your learning style

C. By taking into account six important areas

D. By revising your work on a regular basis

Question 25. Why is it a good idea to tell other people about your work plan?

A. They can help you develop a detailed target.

B. They will be very helpful with your plan.

C. They will know how to help you avoid failing.

D. They will know if you don't stick to your plan, which motivates you to reach the targets. 

Question 26. The word "daunting" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following? 

A. demanding    B. frightening     C. challenging   D. discouraging

Question 27. What is NOT the benefit of keeping good class or lecture notes?

A. The information is tailored to your learning style.

B. It enables you to find information quickly when needed.

C. The information is favorably organized to your liking.

D. You don't need to spend time on the books you are studying.

Question 28. The most suitable phrase to replace the word "cram" in the last paragraph is _______

A. study hard in a short time
