Good learning habits

2b Read the passage quickly and check if any of the habits you listed in 2a are mentioned. Which four habits of successful learners can you find from the passage
(1) Creating an interest in what they learn
(2) Practicing and learning from mistakes
(3) Developing their study skills
(4) Asking questions
2c 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
Check your answers:
Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well Do you agree Why or why not
The writer doesn’t think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well. I agree with the writer that everyone is born with the ability to learn, but learning well depends on the learning habits that one develops.
2. Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in
This is because studies show that if you’re interested in something, your brain is more active and it is easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. You will also not get bored.
3. 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
Use it or lose it: If you stop doing something, you will forget how to do it.
Practice makes perfect: If you do something again and again, you will become very good at it.
They learn from mistakes, and they are not afraid of making mistakes.
Take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps.
Look for ways to review what have been learned, e.g. read the notes every day or explain the information to another student.
5. What study skills does the writer talk about Do you have those study skills
Yes, 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.
6.Do you agree that learning is a lifelong journey Why or why not
2d Look up the following words from the passage in the dictionary. Then write a sentence for each word.
e.g. brain: A good way to train the brain is to do some math exercises every day.

You can start like this:
I believe…
I feel …
I think …
In my opinion, it is important to …
1. Everyone is born with the ability to learn.
(1) be born 意为“天生，出生” 。如：
I was born in a small village. 我出生在一个小山村。
(2) ability 在此处为不可数名词，意为“能力”常构成短语 have the ability to do sth. 有能力做某事。如：
He has the ability to solve the problem.
他有解决这个问题的能力。
【探究·导学】
2. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits.
(1) whether or not“是否”, whether引导主语从句，不能与if 替换。如：
whether she will come or not is still a problem.
她是否会来还是个问题。
(2) depend on 意为“取决于；依靠；依赖 ”。后接名词，代词或动名词。如：
We depend entirely on donations from the public.
我们完全依赖公众的捐助。
3. 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.
(1) active adj, “活跃的，积极的”，可作表语或定语。
常用短语：take an active part in，意为“积极参加”。如：

我们都积极参加运动会。
(2) pay attention to 意为“注意，关注”，其中to 为介词，其后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。如：

Please don’t connect this person with that person.
请不要把这个人和那个人联系在一起。
5. Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it.
1) Even if 意为“即使，尽管”，用于引导让步状语从句，有退一步设想的意味，同义于“even though”。如：
I’ll help you, even if I must stay up the whole night.
即使熬夜一整晚我也要帮助你。
2) unless conj. 除非；如果不
unless“除非；如果不”，作连词，用来引导语从句，常可以转化为“if...not...”的同义句。
若主句为一般将来时，unless引导的条件状语从句 要用一般现在时表示将来。如：
I will go to the supermarket unless it rains.
= I will go to the supermarket if it doesn’t rain .
如果明天不下雨我将会去超市。
6. Knowledge comes from questioning.
1) question在句子中作动词，是“质疑；质问；提问”的意思。如：
I just accepted what he told me. I never thought to question it.
我只是接受了他所说的话，从没想过去质疑它。
2) 当question用作动词，表示对某人或事物进行提问时，是一种十分正式的用法，有“提问；询问；审问”的意思。如：

him go. 警察审问了他三小时才让他走。
