Information
Set a objective of what you need to study. Make sure it is achievable in the time you have and you feel it is reasonable.
Find a place without distractions. The definition of entertainment can vary from person to person. Many people prefer a place entirely without the people around (eg a library), others do fine in the middle of a crowded room with headphones on. But the key is to find a place that you cannot find distracting.
Before you start, make sure you have all the equipment you need. Nothing shell your study session than having to go home to get your manual.
Break tasks of study in small separate tasks that are approximately equal in time. For example if you are studying for exams, re-reading your notes for each exam is a task of study.
Complete the first mission. When you study, make sure you do nothing else but study.
When the task is done, get a break. Do something that gets your mind off studying for exams. Some examples include talking to friends, surf the Internet or enjoy a snack. The goal is to recharge your mind before starting the next mission. Make sure you set a time limit on your breaks, or you may never end.
Return to step and repeat until all tasks are performed. Practice this technique a few times and you will develop successful study skills.
How to Improve Your Questioning Skills In English
Questions how is the most important thing in speaking English. As most of the time your conversation begins with a question if it is necessary to improve it. Here are some tips to learn the techniques of interrogation:
Tip 1: Keep the rules to the question in your mind.
Rule 1:W / H family helping + verb + subject + verb + object (if applicable) +?
For example: When did he take food?. In this sentence when l / h family, contributes verb, it is subjected, is to take the word, the food is subject to and after the question mark.
Rule 2:In case you need to start Whose your question, how much, or how, this rule applies only:W / H + + designed to help families verb + subject + verb +?
For example: Q. whose car he was driving?
Q. How much water does it meet?
Rule 3:If there is no subject and the sentence is affirmative, you do not have to use past tense verbs help undefined undefined and present.
For example: Q. Who wrote the letter with a pen?
Q. whose brother went to London?
Tip 2: Do not keep the rules of the time in mind. When you have to ask questions related to these things, ask questions only present as:
Q. Why do you always late?
Q. Where has it been that long?
In the past:
Q. Where did it go yesterday?
Q. When were you studied last night?
In the future:
Q. Where will he play?
Q. which car will you buy?
Tip 3: Practice is the most important thing in speaking English. The more you practice, the more you would.
Why Some Students fail to progress in English
Still after having studying English for many years, many people in Arab countries believe that their English is not very good. So, a question often asked is: Why?
Part of the difficulty is that we simply much time to learn a foreign language. You must learn a new grammar of the system, and thousands of new words. It also takes much practice to build up speaking, listening, reading and writing in a new language. Therefore, learning a foreign language usually takes years.
This is especially true if you are learning a language that is very different from yours. German people can learn English quickly because German grammar is similar to English grammar in some respects, and also because the two languages contribute to many of the same vocabulary. However, grammar and vocabulary of Arabic is very different from English, and this makes it more difficult for Arabs to learn English.
However, the major problem lies more in the study of Arab students in English. In fact, the real goal of many students in Arab countries is not to learn English in fact their real purpose is to pass exams in English. Thus, most of their time and attention is listening carefully on good exam results rather than on learning. When the examination is completed, students were often quickly forget what they learned, and then they ignore their English studies until the next event occurs. (Students in Western countries who are studying foreign languages often have exactly the same problem.)
While studying for tests can help students learning English, passing tests is not the same as learning English. In fact, it is possible to obtain good test scores and never develop many useful skills in English. If students are actually learning English well, their focus should be on strengthening English language skills (such as the ability to speak or read English), not just passing tests.
Perhaps more importantly, students who really want to learn English need to take charge of their own language learning, instead of just passively do what their teachers tell them to do. They must choose for themselves the skills they want to control and actively carry out a plan for developing these skills whether there is a test.
