STUDY HELP 　　For many tests and exams, you are tested on your abilities to communicate(交流) successfully. In order to speak English fluently(流利地), you need to think in English. If you don't, your speech will be slow and it won't sound natural. Here are some things you can do to practise thinking in English. 　　 Look at objects around your home and school, and think what they are called in English. Try to make a direct(直接的) connection between the object and the English word. 　　 When you are out in a public place, practise describing the things and people you see in your mind. For example, think, "There is a man walking down the street. He's wearing a suit. I think he is going to work." Try to think in English first, not in your first language. 　　 When you have to say something in English, think first and ask yourself, "What words and phrases do I know in English that I can use in this situation(情况) " Try not to think in your first language and translate(翻译) your ideas into English. If you do, you will get frustrated(懊丧的) very quickly. Try these tips and you'll soon find that you are thinking in English.

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.
Practising and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practise 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 practising what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Wright brothers did not invent the flight overnight. They succeeded by trying many times and learning from their 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.
　　根据短文内容回答下列问题
1.What do you depend on if you want to learn well
2.Why should you be interested in what you learn
3.How can you remember something you learn
4.What do good learners often do during and after class
5.Why is learning a lifelong journey
