Have a growth mindset to learning.
Studies show that the first key to becoming a successful learner is to have a growth mindset. This means, in part, believing in yourself. It also means setting goals, taking action, and meeting challenges. People with a growth mindset see mistakes as chances for learning, as they teach us how to improve.

Practice makes perfect.
Research also shows that practice is important for learning. The more we practise, the better we learn. We learn best by practising new and difficult things. Sometimes it is also important to get guidance from a teacher or a coach. They can show us the right way to practise and give as important feedback and advice.
2. What kind of practice is the most useful?
By practicing new and difficult things.
Why?
Challenges help growth.
1. How many kinds of practice are mentioned in this paragraph? What are they?
Two.
① Practise new and difficult things by ourselves.
② Practise with guidance, feedback and advice from a teacher or a coach.

"In our chart, we put 'easy things' in the center because they don't help us grow. We should spend most of our time in the middle ring: 'practising new and difficult things' because that's how we learn best. However, when things are too hard and we enter the outer ring (the 'stuck' zone), we must seek 'guidance and feedback from a teacher' to pull us back to the right path."

Learn from other students.
In addition, studies show that students learn more when they hang out with other students who are serious about study.
What is important to encourage learner growth?
Hanging out and studying with other students who are serious about study, so they can learn from and challenge each other.
First, by being together, students can easily learn from each other.
Second, students are challenged to do better by each other. This has been proven to encourage learner growth.

Successful learners also use the best learning materials they can find. In the 21st century, this means using new technology and resources, not just textbooks. Since there are so many learning materials on the internet, it is important to think carefully and choose wisely what and how you study. Take advantage of the best tools and resources to learn wisely and efficiently.
Use learning materials wisely.
1. Why do we need to think carefully about what and how we study?
Because there are lots of learning materials online. Not all of them are useful. We need to choose wisely to learn efficiently.
2. What does the underlined phrase “ take advantage of” mean?
throw away
make good use of
give up

Make learning a lifetime habit.
Finally, successful learners see learning as part of daily life. It is something they will do even after they leave school, even when they are old. As you continue on your learning journey, you should try to walk at your own speed and enjoy the trip. Never lose heart. The road ahead of you may be long and may have many mountains and valleys, but it also has great treasure. You will find more joy in living a life with learning!
