Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.

如: Please connect the computer to Internet.
connect with是和……有关,和……有联系.
如: He is connected with the case.
Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.

=If you don’t work hard, you will fail the exam.
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for ways to review(go over) what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.

No, he/she doesn’t. Yes, I do. Because whether or not one can learn well depends on his/ her learning habits.
Post-reading
2. Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in?
This is because studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. You will also not get bored.
3. What do the sayings “Use it or lose it” and “Practice makes perfect” mean? Do you agree with them?

we will forget it unless we use it.
(2) Practice makes perfect: We should keep practicing
what we have learned so that we can be good at it.
