Discussion
What good learning habits can you think of Make a list and discuss them.
Read the passage quickly and check if any of the habits you listed are mentioned.
Which four habits of successful learners can you find from the passage
How can you become
a successful learner
Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do it well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.
Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.
Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.
Which four habits of successful learners can you find from the passage
Creating an interest in what they learn, practicing and learning from mistakes, developing their study skills and asking questions.
Read the passage again and answer the questions.
Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well Do you agree Why or why not
Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in
What do the sayings “Use it or lose it” and “Practice makes perfect” mean Do you agree with them
4. Do good learners learn from mistakes, or are they afraid of making mistakes
5. What study skills does the writer talk about Do you have those study skills
6. Do you agree that learning is a lifelong journey Why or why not
Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well Do you agree Why or why not
2. Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in
No, he doesn’t.
Yes, I do. Because whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits.
Because if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time.
3. What do the sayings “Use it or lose it” and “Practice makes perfect” mean Do you agree with them
Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. We should keep practicing what we have learned so that we can be good at it.
4. Do good learners learn from mistakes, or are they afraid of making mistakes
They learn from mistakes.
5. What study skills does the writer talk about Do you have those study skills
Taking notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps, looking for ways to review what they have learned, and doing this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
6. Do you agree that learning is a lifelong journey Why or why not
Yes. Because every day brings something new.

brain n. connect v. overnight adv.
attention n. review v. knowledge n.
ability n. active adj. wisely adv.
brain: A good way to train the brain is to do some math exercises every day.

比较句型:
It’s + adj. + for sb. to do sth. (adj.修饰 to do sth.)
It’s + adj. + of sb. to do sth. (adj.修饰sb.)
pay attention to… 意为“注意,关注…”,to为介词,所以后面须加名词或动名词。
