Task 3

INSTRUCTIONS

Hello dear student,

Now that you know how to use your netiquettes, I invite you to learn some tips to success in your study. For this purpose,
1. Please go to this link:http://www.adprima.com/studytips.htm  and there you will find about 50 or more tips written by some students like you which have been very successful for them!

2. After you read them (take your time for it), fill in this chart.

Tips that I practice	Tips that I don’t practice	Tips that I would like to practice
Definitely listen in class, you won't have to study so hard if you actually know some of the information beforehand (from class).	Sometimes, if I have a study guide, I'll tape it to the front of my Trapper Keeper, so if I have any extra time, I can glance at it.	When having a test or quiz on your notes (which happens quite frequently), take your notebook to your computer,  and type all of your notes pertaining to that chapter in that particular section of your notebook. By typing the notes you need to know for your test, a lot of the information is displayed from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. After typing your notes out, look them over and study in-depth... This always helps.
Read over the notes a couple of times and then summarize it in your own words. Writing it down might help store it into the long-term memory.	Don't play sport or tire yourself before doing anything that requires thinking, memory etc. such as a test, or study period. Make sure you are fully rested and relaxed. I made the mistake, and took me three exams to figure it out.	My TIP is to increase vocabulary so concentration is not interrupted while studying, or reading. Words that are difficult to understand will become more friendly if I practice using them.
Taking notes during class is very important, and reviewing them when you get home...and it is not just the way you study but it is in the attitude you display...as long as you're a determined and a hard working student, getting good grades wouldn't be difficult for you at all.	My studying method that works for me is to review my notes everyday and reread the topic chapter to refresh my memory. Doing this everyday helped me prepared for my test by not cramming the night before exam.	The study TIP I would like to recommend is to deal with anything that is getting in the way of your success. Say for example, you're trying to study but you keep thinking of something else. Then do what you have to do to deal with it and then get to studying with a cleared mind.
My own personal study TIP that really helps me out mostly is I find a quiet place most likely in my room, lock the door so there would be no distractions and start playing soft relaxing music such as Kenny G. or slow jams. I know for a majority of people music is the biggest distraction, but I am totally opposite. Music helps me relax and concentrate	My study TIP is to make your own questions while reading and with those same questions test yourself, with this you will find out how well you are doing or if you are ready for the test.	Part of good study habit is making a schedule, which will help you organize your time and your thoughts.  Having a  schedule indicates your personal obligations, setting priorities, and especially it will help you for studying.  It is organization that helps with your thoughts be more active for any studies you have to do. So remember write your obligations on your schedule.
Study for yourself, not because your parents want you to but because you are the creator of your own destiny.	My study TIP is that when you are studying and maybe your mind starts to wander try to look away from your paper, textbook or whatever it is you are studying, and look somewhere blank like the walls or floor and go cross-eyed - this help to cross your left and right brain over! It's also helps a lot in tests, try it!	My TIP is "When you sit down to study never think about anything else other than your book. Leave the world outside and come into your book
Before I started to do my study, I make sure that I am  not sleepy, hungry, thirsty, and don't need to use the bathroom. If I feel all those necessities before I study, I take care of it first. This way, there will be no unnecessary interruption while I'm doing my work.	Drink plenty of water, it keeps the brain hydrated. A hydrated brain can remember more than a dehydrated brain. Of course do not go silly or else you will be spending all your time in the toile	When I study I like to recreate my notes. Colors and shapes help me to remember. Circling things or highlighting works great. I associate the color or shape with the information and I tend to remember it better (and longer)
This is a study TIP for you to help remember important quotes.   Record the quote on your mobile phone or on a tape and whenever you have spare time you can listen to it as often as you can. Soon you will be able to perfectly recite the lines. If it sounds too boring you can always sing it and listen to it as a song. It might sound daggy but trust me it helps	While studying, keep peppermint in your mouth... it clears your nasal passage for fresh air. More fresh air means more oxygen to the brain. Trust me, this really helps with memorizing and studying for school."	Try to study in the morning because at that time, your mind is fresh and you can do more study than you can do it during night. I works for me.
'm the sort of student who gets easily distracted and it's a nasty habit. When that happens, I remember that what I'm doing is for my own sake. Motivate yourself. If your mind wanders constantly, just set a short time limit, like half an hour - then take a ten minute break (walk around your garden or something, relaxing in the living room is a bad idea since there's the television and everything) and get back to studying. It's better than feeling bored through one hour and not absorbing any material at all. It works for me. See if it works for you.	When having a test or quiz on your notes (which happens quite frequently), take your notebook to your computer,  and type all of your notes pertaining to that chapter in that particular section of your notebook. By typing the notes you need to know for your test, a lot of the information is displayed from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. After typing your notes out, look them over and study in-depth... This always helps.	Taking notes on whatever I'm studying and going over them really helps me out when studying. The task of taking notes and writing down the material is what helps me, and reviewing those notes adds to the repetition that's going on, which helps even more. Also, before studying try to get or already have enough sleep, because sleepiness can really get you out of studying; it always does for me.
When studying languages.. remember to pronounce each word CORRECTLY. Not only will this help you when reciting for exams, but when it comes to spelling, you will improve tremendously with accent placement etc.	Be careful about wearing too much perfume or sitting near someone who does. The chemicals in some perfumes may affect your power to concentrate and remember information	An approach to reading that works best for me is both annotating and the Cornell Method. In annotating I can mark and highlight important information, key ideas, unknown words, and interesting facts while reading. Using the Cornell Method, I can then organize the marked text into a better, arranged, understandable form. These methods both save me time and keep me actively involved.
When I study, I usually read it out loud at least 3 times, then, without looking at it, write it out 3 times, and check if I'm right.  It helps because while you're writing it out, you're thinking about it and trying to remember it.	Always have plenty of lined paper around.  Lines help you to write your notes properly and neatly. I know it - it helps me!" Valerie, a student from Singapore.	Before studying, I advise other students to eat a light snack, nothing heavy or else you'll be falling asleep from being too full. Also, it's very important to get rid of internal distractions (something that is bugging your head, i.e. making a phone call, chores, picking up a few things at the store)...do those things right away so that you'll be concentrating on your studies.
