读书，怎么办？Time To Study and I feel like... HOW? (Part 6)

Uh, oh, seems like I have broken my rules to share my study tips once in two days! It has been four days since my last post on study tips. The culprit: BAD WEATHER. (Eh stop giving stupid excuses okay, Ah Moi? You always overslept!)

Ha ha ha.

Time to get back to the point! (This is the sequel to Part 5-The "Etiquettes" in School. )

#4: Group Discussion 群组讨论

There is no excuse for you to be a hermit and hide in a corner and chew into your books all alone. Neither should you carry the knowledge to your grave. (Choi! Now is Cheng Beng Festival, okay?)Worse, being a loner.

现时，你完全没有理由玩自闭，幽禁在自己的世界，独自啃书。你更不可能把知识带入棺材，不公开给别人。（乱讲话！清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂······）

Rather, why not bond well with your comrades? (Well, I do not mean I have dozens of friends; My friends ain't many) As the saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed". By discussing in small groups of four or five, (the actual number of members is up to you, but I recommend not less than two and not more than ten) you can exchange ideas and reduce boredom in class.

其实，与其独来独往，不如好好和朋友打成一片。（我承认我的朋友不多）在小组讨论课业，（四、五人为佳。我建议小组组员少至二人，多至十人）不但能方便同窗之间交换意见，还能减少课堂上解闷呢！

Those who are better in a particular subject can teach their fellow group members. Thus, when this happens in ALL subjects, everyone can learn the methods to improve their comprehension in every subjects, thus enhancing their academic performance at the same. Best of all, more communication means stronger friendship. You can either hold discussions during the recess time, after school, at your friends home or via social networking sites (by setting up your own closed groups)-it's up to you!

Apart from discussing subjects, all of you can even go to your teacher as a group should you have any problems in a particular topic. Your teacher will be happier if you ask him/her questions in groups rather than as solos. Mind you, answering students' questions one-by-one is time-consuming, and you don't want to face a red-faced teacher chasing you away for disturbing him, do you?

讨论课业之余，你们还能结伴向老师发问。想必老师比较喜欢一群学生问相同的东西，而且较个别同学来乐意替他们解答吧！拜托，用膝盖都能想像，替一个一个学生解答问题何其费时咯！你要不要被一个铁青这脸的老师嫌你麻烦，赶走你呢？（被压力击跨的老师）

*Well, teachers today are not just teachers; they have to double up as secretaries or typewriters as well! Some may even have to be part-time sport coaches or dance instructors or anything possible to them. Being a teacher is, by no means easy!

今日的老师不单单履行教育任务；他们还要分身为秘书，呈交一大堆报告！更甚的是，有者还得兼当运动教练、舞蹈导师或任何的一切。当老师，岂为易事？！

Next time, complain no more when your teacher assigns you group work no matter how tedious they may be! It will do you great!

以后，老师分派群组功课给你们，就不要再抱怨或耍花样。毕竟，他们用心良苦，这样做，还不是为我们好？
