Very soon you are going to change from a junior high school student to a senior high school student．You will experience a new school life．Then how should you work in senior high school? Here is some advice for your new term．

Plan ahead．Get a wall calendar（日程表）．Mark the dates of important events such as tests．Set your own goals and follow them．When your calendar starts to fill，learn to say “no” to other activities until you ha4e reached your goal．

Stay ahead．Try not to fall behind．If you feel that you have fallen behind and started to feel worried，let your teachers know．It's better to get help early than to wait，thinking you can face the final exams．Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class．If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project，ask your teacher for help after class．Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time，and if your teacher knows that you're struggling with something，he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation．

Listen up．Paying attention in class can actually help a lot．Sure，it's often easier said than done，but listening actively can make you understand better what you are learning．

Take notes．Taking notes during classes can make recalling（回忆）information easier．If you take notes and review them before class or while studying for an exam，you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don't understand，It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class．

Have a good attitude（态度）to tests．Tests may show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．So don't be too worried if you don't pass a test．The world won't end．

The aim of students who come to school is to study．But study requires a right way, or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways for studying.

The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good results.

In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one.

When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.

We must always ask “ why” . If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, brothers or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better.
