1. Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well?
Yes, he does.
2.Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in ?
Because studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is 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?
“Use it or lose it” means you will forget what you learned unless you use it.
“Practice makes perfect” means you will succeed if you keep practicing.
4. Do good learners learn from mistakes?
Yes, they do.
Are they afraid of making mistakes?
No, they aren't. 5.What study skills does the writer talk about?
(1)Take notes by writing down key words or by
drawing mind maps.
(2) Review what they have learned 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?
I do. Because every day brings something new. Everything that I learn becomes a part of me and changes me, so learn wisely and learn well. 2d Look up the following words from the passage in the dictionary. Then write a sentence for each word.
