读书，怎么办？Time To Study and I Feel Like... HOW?(Part 8)

Here's a fact: Studying without recapping will sum up to nothing. NOTHING AT ALL!

事实：没有温习课业，读再多书也算白费。

So, you have put in your utmost effort preparing for those hectic lessons in school. (Lest the teacher skips it! Yes, it is common when you are in the upper secondary. I have experienced it many times, especially in Biology and Additional Mathematics! Yurghs! )Then you have devoted your heart, soul and mental ability into those long lessons in class. Now that the school lessons are over, but learning is yet to stop for you. (In fact, learning NEVER stops until you stop breathing. :P)

你已经在家做好充足的预备功夫，（有些老师会“跳”课。高中学生应该都体验过吧！我就是被跳课到怕，尤其是生物和高级数学）然后，在课堂，你已经一心一意投入课程内容，陶醉在老师“美妙”的声音中，享受漫长课程。下课了，可是学习却不能停止，除非你已归西，呵呵。

Now at home, you might be drawn towards procrastination thanks to the comfortable and relaxing environment at home. You simply can't wait to laze at the couch and watch your favourite dramas. Your Internet Addiction Syndrome is back, beckoning you to turn on the computer or notebook and enjoy your games or rant via your blogs. You might be too tired that you need a sound slumber. As lazy as it sounds, these are actually the norm among students nowadays, especially towards those who are born after the 90's. (Obviously I am one; I am born in 1994 and will be celebrating my 18th birthday this year!)

在温暖的小窝里，你倍觉懒洋洋，恨不得想扭开电视机观看最爱的连续剧。你的网瘾又再作祟，怂恿你去玩网络游戏，或更新状态，或更新博客。（被打）也许你太疲倦了，啊，睡个好觉最棒，心情舒爽。别担心，这些懒惰症在九十后的学生当中，司空见惯。（我也是，我是1994年的宝宝。十八少女一朵花，一朵花······（唱到下雨））

Before you slump onto the couch or bed, think of your to-do-list. I'm sure that you won't feel peaceful afterwards! *Troll face*

在坐下沙发或躺下之前，想好你当天要做什么。我保证，你就会心跳加速，心神不宁啦！哈哈哈哈！

Think of your homework. Think of your tuition classes that you have to head straight to in merely an hour after school. Most importantly, RECAP EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNT! Otherwise, you would have returned those information to your teacher and you'll get nothing.

Then you will find that there is no time to dawdle at all!!!

想想你当天的功课。想想你下课后在一小时内要赶去的补习班。最重要，还是温习你学习的一切！否则，那些资料就会自动还给老师了。这样一来，你就会发现，你根本没有时间去婆妈。

I advise you guys to finish your homework in school, as mentioned in Part 7. However, in case if you fail to finish your homework due to meetings or long lectures or whatsoever, put your homework as your number 1 priority. Hurry up as soon as you reached home. For those who have to make time to tuition classes in a hurry, sneak in one homework or two into your bag. I mean, the easiest and lightest homework for the day, since you can't afford to take tuition time for granted by doing your schoolwork there all the time!

我劝你们最好在学校做完功课。不过，假如你真的因为某些特殊条件（比如会议、课程很长等等），就列功课为首要活动，回家后，一秒也不浪费地做完功课。（当然要先冲凉吃饭）。赶去补习班的朋友们，麻烦你们带一、两本较容易的功课去吧！（你不可能用整个补习时间做完功课，是不是？）

Ah, before I forget, let me share some of my experience in tuition classes. Being an insensitive busybody who tends to poke her nose into anything around, I relish watching the attitude and actions of every single student in tuition centres. (Naughty, naughty!) Some did their "business" full-time there and hide their schoolwork  or mags when the tutor gave them a stern eye; some took tuition time as snack time; those who are rambunctious and talkative tend to chitter-chatter non-stop during lessons, which are particular irritating! Worse, there are some who doze away in tuition classes! As I had said earlier, I am NOT AND NEVER perfect. I am from the worst fourth group. How do I counter this problem? stay tuned! I will not reveal that fast in this post. :P

啊，在我忘记之前，让我分享一些我在补习班的经验吧！身为一个百分百的八婆，我很喜欢在补习里头看同学门的千姿百态。（坏榜样）Point form带过吧。XD


有者来补习是为了做功课、阅读娱乐杂志等。老师瞪着他们时，就把东西藏起来，假装正经。


补习时间=小吃时间


在班上唧唧喳喳，聊个没完没了。（很烦呐！）


最糟糕的是，有者在补习班，睡着了。


我想强调一下，我不完美！况且，我常犯下上述第四条错误呢！想知道我怎样解决这问题吗？先卖一下关子，哈哈。

Being in tuition is not about paying a handsome sum of money, listen to the tutor and meet up with friends. Rather, tuition should supplement the lessons taught in school. I quote this from my Chinese language tutor:

"Lessons in school are like good food, tuition classes are supplements to a student's academic."

去补习并非付了一笔为数不菲的补习费，听课和与朋友见面这样简单。相反的，它应与学校课业相辅相成。在这里，我特别引用了我华语补习老师的一句话：

“学校上课如吃营养食物；补习如补药。”

Thus, utilise your time in tuition by shooting up questions whenever you do not understand a topic, just as what you did in school. Listen attentively to the tutor; it does not mean that you can take your tutor for granted simply because you pay for his/ her services. Do your tuition assignments properly and meticulously. Remember, tuition classes are meant for reinforcement, and I strongly believe that no parent would want his/her hard-earned money to go down the drain.

It is alright to make new friends in tuition, but that is certainly NOT the main priority in  tuition! The main priority in tuition yet, is to reinforce your studies.

Hence, when you have that time to do revision at home, do read your tuition notes again and again! :)

有鉴于此，奉劝你们好好把握在补习的时间。


不懂某课题的时候，尽管向老师发问，切忌不懂装懂。


专心听导师讲课。正因为你付了补习费，不代表你有权滥用补习服务。


用心地，仔细地完成补习功课。补习是为了要加强对学业的掌握。我也坚信，没有任何家长想白白地把血汗钱送给人家。


你们能在补习认识、结交新朋友，不过那不是重点。补习的宗旨，终究是在加强你对学业的理解啊！在家温习课业时，不妨重复阅读你的补习笔记！

I am talking only about tuition classes for now! If I am to include the entire after-school stuff, my post will be freaking long. Stay tuned!!

好啦，我现在只谈补习。要谈整篇有关课后功夫，就算写三天三夜也写不完呢！敬请期待！
