As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule（进度表）, especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention（注意力）doesn’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive（多产的）than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.

We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do as you are sitting.” In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.
If your math teacher gives you five problems, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.
Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you , try to do your best.
Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment. When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks given up. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.
Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time.
The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an A. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy ones. When you write clearly and do you work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes.
_____1______ to make your studies better

Every student can manage time to get good grades at school. However, how can you manage your time more efficiently(有效地)to study well Well, you can arrange for time each day to read over notes. You needn’t study each of your subjects every day, but studying something every day will help you improve your grades. Take notes as you study, so you can use those notes to shorten your study time later. Even though studying is important, it doesn’t need to control your time.
After-school activities are an important part of school life for many students. The journey toward good grades doesn’t mean you have to give up these activities. Instead, you need to find your personal balance between study time and after-school activities. For example, if you play on the baseball team and work on the school paper, you may find that two activities are too much, and that you don’t have enough time to study and take part in these activities. If this is the case, you need to prioritize（区分优先次序）and choose just one activity. Therefore, you’ll have time to study.
As you get closer to graduation（毕业）, it becomes easier to think that class attendance isn’t important, especially later in college. Other activities, such as hanging out（聚会） with friends and even working, can feel more important. However, class time is the time when you can ask questions and learn more about the material. Attending your classes regularly makes you get more information and helps you get better grades.
Spending time with your friends and taking part in fun activities are still important; however, you must evaluate（评估）each situation and learn when to say “no” to going out to have fun. For example, if you have a big test the next day, it’s more important for you to say home and study. However, if the test isn’t for a few more days, it won’t hurt to go out for one or two hours. Each person can spend some time in having fun.
Any spare time you have during the day can be used for studying. For example, if you take a bus, use that time to read over your notes, or read your text. Any time in which you would just sit and wait is a good time to work on school work, so you can improve your grades. However, you need to learn to balance school work and relaxation time, so you don’t burn out.
