Studies show that if you are interested in something,your brain is more active. 37 Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in.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. 38 Good leamers 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.Good learners are also 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. Develop their study skills. It is not enough to just study hard.You have to know how to study.39 For example,they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps.
