Every student wants to study well．But studying requires right ways，or you waste both time and money．The following are the ways of studying．

    We should preview（预习）the lesson．Then you can get ready for the new lesson．

    The best time for reading is morning，because in the morning，the air is fresh and the mind is clear．For that reason，you can read effectively（有效地）：

In studying we must have patience（耐心）．If we have not known a text well, we must read it again．We should not read the next one until 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．

    We must always ask ”whys”．If it is not well understood， you can ask our teachers，our parents or friends．In any possible way，we must know it correctly．

We should review the lessons every day，and sum up（总结）what we have learned．

We should use the knowledge we have foamed．If you want to know how to swim，you must get into the fiver．And ff you want to be a basketball player, you must play basketball．Using it means you can master it completely．

Though there are many ways of studying，the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in mind and do so．

Wang Jiaming from Beijing Chenjinglun High School says he is a lucky boy. He’s happy that he’s sitting the senior high school entrance exam (中考) in 2014 instead of 2016.
On Oct 22, Beijing Municipal Commission of Education (北京市教委) announced that, from 2016, the English scores in the senior high school entrance exam will be reduced from 120 to 100. Of the 100 points, the listening ability scores will increase to 50. Meanwhile, the points for Chinese will increase from 120 to 150.
“The change won’t affect me. I feel so lucky because English is my strongest subject,” said Wang.
Why such a change? It places the importance on Chinese in our study, and reduces students’ pressure, said Li Yi, spokesman of the commission.
“The change will also push us to pay attention to the practical usage of English,” said Li. “ Students will be encouraged to learn to understand English menus and read English news on mobile phones.”
There isn’t news that other cities will have the same change. But several places are making changes to English tests in the college entrance exams.
For example, Shandong is considering taking out the listening part of the English exam in its gaokao.
But, “being tested for less points doesn’t mean the subject can be taken lightly.,” Bai Ping wrote in China Daily.
English has long been the world’s most commonly used language. Former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji once said: “In a globalizing economy, if you cannot interact with foreighers, how can one be part of the world economy?”
Wang Jiaming said he understood the change. “Chinese, not English, is our mother tongue,” he said. “But still, I think English is both interesting and useful.”
