14、erything is a hassle, from finding the classrooms to standing in line at the bookstore. Youre confused and tired and probably not too concerned with staying in college. But listen to my advice anyway. It will help you get the inside story on making it in college. Now, lets talk about the secret to g
15、etting good grades. It all comes down to getting those grades, doesnt it? After all, you came here for some reason, and youre going to need passing grades to get the credits or degree you want. In colleges, youre really on your own when it comes to passing courses. In fact, sometimes youll feel as i
16、f nobody cares if you make it or not. (1) Therefore, youve got to figure out a study system that gets results. Most of the successful students I talked to agreed that the following 5 study tips deliver solid results. Firstly, set up a study place. Those students you see “studying“ in the cafeteria o
17、r game room arent learning much. (2) You just cant learn when youre distracted by people and noise. Even the library can be a bad place to study if you constantly find yourself watching the clouds outside or the students walking through the stacks. So find a room at home or a spot in the library tha
18、ts relatively quiet and boring. When you sit there, you wont have much to do except study. (3) Secondly, get into a study frame of mind. When you sit down, do it with the attitude that youre really going to get this studying done. (4) Youre not going to doodle in your notebook or make a list for the
19、 supermarket. Decide that you are going to study and learn now, so that you can move on to more interesting things as soon as possible. Thirdly, skim the textbook first. In order to prevent absent-mindedness, skim the textbook chapter first. (5) This means; look at the title, the subtitles, the head
20、ings, the pictures, the first and last paragraphs. Try to find out what the person who wrote the book had in mind when he or she organized the chapter. After skimming, you should be able to explain to yourself what the main points of the chapter are. Fourthly, take notes on what youre studying. This
21、 sounds like a hassle, but it works. (6) Go back over the material after youve read it, and jot down key words and phrases in the margins. When you review the chapter for a test, youll have handy little things like “definition of rationalization“ or “example of assimilation“ in the margins. If the m
22、aterial is especially tough, organize a separate sheet of notes. Write down definitions, examples, lists, and main ideas. The idea is to have a single sheet that boils the entire chapter down to a digestible lump. Fifthly, review after youve read and taken notes. (7) Some people swear that talking t
23、o yourself works. Tell yourself about the most important points in the chapter. Once youve said them out loud, they seem to stick better in your mind. If you cant talk to yourself about the material after reading it, thats a sure sign you dont really know it. (8) Next, I would like to talk about how
24、 to manage the tight schedule you may face in college. This is one of the toughest problems students face. Believe it or not, though, it is possible to meet all your responsibilities. And you dont have to turn into a hermit or give up your loved ones to do it. The secret here is to organize your tim
25、e. Try these three tactics. First, prepare a monthly calendar. Get one of those calendars with big blocks around the dates. (9) Give yourself an overview of the whole term by marking down the due dates for papers and projects. (10) Circle test and exam days. This way those days dont sneak up on you
26、unexpectedly. Second, make up a study schedule. Sit down during the first few days of this semester and make up a sheet listing the days and hours of the week. (11) Fill in your work and class hours first. Then try to block out some study hours. Its better to study a little every day than to create
27、a huge once-or-twice-a-week marathon session. (12) Third, use to-do lists. This is the secret that got me through college. Once a week, write a list of what you have to do. Write down everything from “write English paper“ to “buy cold cuts for lunch“. The best thing about a to-do list is that it see
28、ms to tame all those stray “I have to“ thoughts that nag at your mind. After you finish something on the list, cross it off. Get the important things done first. The secondary things you dont finish can simply be moved to your next to-do list. In the last part of my lecture, Id like to explain why s
29、ome people make it and some drop out of college. Anyone who spends at least one semester in college notices that some students give up on their classes. (13) Whats the difference between students like this and the ones who succeed in school? My survey may be non-scientific, but everyone I asked said
30、 the same thing: attitude. A positive attitude is the key to everything elsegood study habits, smart time scheduling, and coping with personal difficulties. What does “a positive attitude“ mean? Well, for one thing, it means not acting like a zombie. It means not only showing up for your classes, bu
31、t also doing something while youre there. (14) Really listen. Take notes. Ask a question if you want to. Dont just walk into a class, put your mind in neutral, and drift away to never-never land. Having a positive attitude goes deeper than this, though. (15) It means being mature about college as an
32、 institution. College classes can sometimes be downright dull and boring. If you let a boring class discourage you so much that you want to leave school, youll lose in the long run. Look at your priorities. You want a degree, or a certificate, or a career. If you have to, you can make it through a l
33、ess-than-interesting class in order to achieve what you want. But if you simply cant stand a certain class, be determined to fulfill its requirements and be done with it once and for all. OK, to conclude, if you follow the advice here, youll be prepared to face the academic crunch without giving up
34、your family, your job, or Monday Night Football. Thats all for the lecture.

When we talk about learning English, we usually mention the four basic skills listening, reading, speaking and writing. However, all of these s
43、kills cannot be sharpened without vocabulary. While there are not any magic shortcuts to learn words, the larger your vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with the words you already know, and thus remember its meaning. So your learning speed, or pace, should increase as yo
44、ur vocabulary grows. There are some basic steps to build your vocabulary effectively. First of all, be aware of words. Many people are surprised when they are told they have small vocabularies. They protest that they read all the time. (1) This shows that reading alone may not be enough to make you
45、learn new words. When we read a novel, for instance, there is usually a strong urge to get on with the story and skip over unfamiliar or perhaps vaguely known words. (2) But while it is obvious when a word is totally unknown to you, you have to be especially aware of words that seem familiar to you
46、but whose precise meanings you may not really know. Instead of avoiding these words, you will need to take a closer look at them. (3) First, try to guess at a words meaning from its context that is, the sense of the passage in which it appears. If you focus on learning words in the context where you
47、re most likely to find them, youre more likely to recognize them when you encounter them or need to use them again. Second, if you have a dictionary on hand, look up the words meaning immediately. This may slow down your reading somewhat, but your improved understanding of each new word will eventua
48、lly speed your learning of other words, making reading easier. (4) Third, make a daily practice of noting words of interest to you for further study whenever you are reading, listening to the radio, talking to friends, or watching television. Second, read as often and as much as possible. When you have become more aware of words, reading is the next important step to increase your knowledge of words, (5) because that is how you will find most of the words you
