Students learn their lessons in class．In class teachers teach them．Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn? Of course not．There is another way to learn．That is students can teach themselves．Every student can teach himself, and every student is teaching himself when he is learning something．For example，if you cannot remember something when you are doing your homework．what will you do? You can look at your book to find the answer．This is a way to teach yourself．And it is not a difficult way．We can do this at any place and at any time．

How to teach yourself？ The first thing you must do is reading．Read something you are interested in，not you have to read．The second is that you must ask yourself questions．The question is something you don’t understand，or you want to know more about．You can write down these questions．A clever student is usually good at asking questions．The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard，by reading the text or other books，and sometimes by asking other people．These are the ways of teaching yourself．And you must do these all by yourself．If you keep doing like these for a long time，you are sure to succeed in your study．

 One morning, Wu Li discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school—Baita Secondary School. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Yong, the principal of the school.

However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only about 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Mr Zhang.

A teacher stood in front of his history class of twenty students just before handing out(分发) the final exam. His students sat quietly and waited for him to speak.

“It’s been a pleasure teaching you this term,” he said. “You’ve all worked very hard, so I have a pleasant surprise for you. Everyone who chooses not to take the final exam will get a ‘B’ for the course.”

Most of the students jumped out of their seats. They thanked the teacher happily, and walked out of the classroom. Only a few students stayed. The teacher looked at them. “This is your last chance,” he said. “Does anyone else want to leave?” All the students there stayed in their seats and took out their pencils.
