USING DICTIONARIES
This can help you find the definition that matches the context of the word in the text.
How Can You Become a Successful Learner
Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this 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.
2c Read the passage again and answer the questions.
1. Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability
to learn well Do you agree Why or why not
No, the writer doesn’t think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well.
I agree with the writer. Because whether or not you can learn well depends on your learning habits.
2. Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn
with something you are interested in
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
We should keep practicing what we have learned. Even if we learn something well, we will forget it until we use it.
Yes, I do.
4. Do good learners learn from mistakes or are they afraid
of making mistakes
Good learners learn from mistakes.
6. Do you agree that learning is a lifelong journey Why or
why not
5. What study skills does the writer talk about Do you have
those study skills
Creating an interest in what you learn, practicing and learning from mistakes, developing study skills and asking questions. Yes, I do./ No, I don’t.
Yes, I do. Because every day brings something new.
