Ways that Students Prepare for Exams

Nowadays, a multitude of educational institutes set up exams for students. It irritates the students who are suffering from homework pressure and make them nervous in study. Some students do not know how to study well or they even misunderstand the ways of studying. Hence, we can divide categories of preparing for exams into three ways: working hard at school, preparing well for the exams at home and studying with friends at public place.

Firstly, paying attention to the class helps students to understand the main point of each chapter. If student have any questions in class, they can seek the answer from the teachers. It is good for them to concentrate on their study and get interested in every subject easily. Furthermore, sense of studying will be conducted in a cordial atmosphere through the students competing with each other and improving their learning skills. During the competitions, students can help each other reciprocally or learn from each other by exchanging views. They can also join the tutorial class which may help developing their learning field.

Secondly, most students adopt an essential which is working hard at home. If students do not pay attention in class, they would need to put more effort and more time for preparing the exams. when I was at high school, I did not pay a lot of attention to the teachers. So, I needed to spend twice times or even triple times to study at home. Unfortunately, I could not get any high scores in the exams. Even worse , I might fail in it sometimes. However, studying at home after paying heed to the class, students can easily grasp how to prepare for it well. For instance, they can use notes or outline the main points. Also, there is some information that may be repeated for a few times in different chapters or some wired questions. Thus, it is possible for teachers making the reference to the repeated information in the exams. In addition, teachers would give out some work sheets to the students. These work sheets can absolutely help students to practice more and become skillfully in every chapter.

Thirdly, there are lots of students preparing for the exams together in public areas such as starbucks, the libraries, McDonald’s etc. As for me, I always studied mathematics and accounting outside with friends. It is because some processes of calculating may not be solved on my own. Furthermore, studying in a group can let students to be more concentrated in studying. It can also increase their ambiance of learning on study.

In conclusion, I suggest students should prepare for the coming exams a couple of weeks before and have a good preparation before lessons start. In addition, students should keep working hard and use the time efficiently for studying.

A Brand New Life

Everyone wants to have excellent lives in the future, including me. When I was a child, I like buying toys and spending lots of money on video games. I had no goal and no heart for studying. But now, I am not such a kid. I have my goal and my dream, and I am working hard every day for my future. It is because I want to change my life to be different

Before I came to the U.S.A, my life was very awful. It was because I wanted to leave my parents and start my new life. I had loads of confidence to get my new life soon before I came to the U.S.A for studying. Thus, while I was living in Macau, I had no heart for studying and always went to party for fun. Although my parents gave me advise many times I did not listen to it. Time was going fast, I had graduated from high school and got ready to be a college student. But in fact, I do not want to go to the U.S.A. it was ridiculous.

I came to the U.S.A last quarter, and I thought that my life would change a lot. Now, I am seeking a new life entirely. I do not want to be a lazy student and a foolish people. On the contrary, I really hope that I can be a well-know businessman and get a pretty good life in the future after graduate from university. Hence, I started working hard and improve my English skills excessive. I have gotten a girl friend and she always supports me a lot. In addition, I will be moving out soon because my roommate is to annoying and I cannot concentrate on my work. I believe that I can enjoy my new life in U.S.A and change it entirely.

In conclusion, I do not know whether I can do it or not but I think that I cannot look back my past. Thus, I will try my best and keep studying hard.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living Alone

Nowadays, many people like to live alone, including teenagers, college students and definitely adults. Most people think that living alone is a good choice due to having abundant freedom. According to research by the Economic and Social Research Council in England, there is a significant increase in the numbers people living alone compared to the years of 1981 and 2001. However, some people had not concerned about some of the serious problems that be caused from living alone. Therefore, I would like to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of living alone.

There are some advantages if we live alone. First, we can be more mature and self-reliant as we have to do everything by ourselves such as doing laundry, washing dishes and preparing meals by our own. Hence, we can be less dependant on others and become mature. Besides, living alone has much more freedom. It is because no one will control, disturb or bother us and we can do whatever we want. For example, we can have a meal whenever we are hungry, even if we hold a party without the permission from our parents or roommates. In addition, we will not be disturbed by anybody such as being bothered by our siblings during revision time and it may benefit our academic results. Thus, living alone can bring a lot of freedom to us.

On the contrary, we may also have some disadvantages if we live by ourselves. Though we can train to be more independent, it is quite hard for us to handle it for the first time. For example, we have to tidy up all the stuff if we mess up our place. It may take us a bunch of time for cleaning and tidying up the house. Hence, we will have less time for doing other important work. Meanwhile, we have to learn how to cook by ourselves, which also takes a lot of time. Even worse, sometimes we may not have sufficient time to cook and we may order food from delivery. As a result, eating too much restaurant food is not good for our health due to the lack of nutrients and the excessive seasonings. So, we can see that living alone may waste our time.

In addition, some people cannot afford to rent or buy the house. In fact, not only do the rent of some apartments and houses expensive, the electricity, water, cable internet bills are also quite costly. Therefore, we have to be concerned about this cost of living. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult for us to afford the cost. In addition, it may be quite dangerous if we live alone as there is no one who can take care of us. For instance, if we forget to switch off the heater, it might cause a hazardous fire accident. Thus, it is hard for us to live alone with those situations.

In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages of living alone. Therefore, we should evaluate for ourselves to see if this way of living suitable for us or not and not just follow what people do blindly. Otherwise, you will regret what you did in the end.

Childhood

Nowadays, there are lots of children who can get everything that they want. As for me, when I look back at my childhood, it sounds different from the other children today. Actually, I am jealous of them sometimes because the situtation in my childhood is not as good as in the past.

For instance, I can see that my cousin is holding the cell phone which is very expensive in the streets. And, I can hear what he is talking about in vulgar words. I had a dinner with my cousin in the resaurant. And he said some bad words in front of his mother, but his mother did not care about it very much.

When I was a child, I had been taught by my parents rigorously. My parents did not allow me to say some vulgar words in front of relatives and friends. If I did, they woud hit my mouth and did not let me have supper at night. However, I had to pick up my stuffs and tidy in my room. I asked my father to buy a cell phone for me, but my father rejected my requests, even for an electonic pencil.

To conclude, comparing with my cousin, there is a big difference between us. Now, he get everythings that he wants, goes out with friends for shopping and partieson weekends. But as for me, I am just working hard for my study and stay with my family at home. Althought my cousin's life is better than mine, I am happy to live everyday and study hard for my goal.
