Getting good results in your studies comes from developing good study habits.
The best place to study is a comfortable room with good lighting. The best chair for studying would be
one which you would be comfortable in, but not so comfortable that you may fall asleep in it after a
while! Before you study, look for a quiet environment with no distractions. If you find your home too
noisy for studying, try the library or community centre instead.
When you study set realistic targets for yourself to achieve. For example, don’t aim to study five
chapters of Geography in one sitting when you know that you take more than an hour to read one
chapter. Furthermore, remember not push yourself too hard. When you have studied for a period of
time, reward yourself by taking a short break. You could perhaps take a short walk or listen to some
music for a while.
If you begin to feel sleepy when studying, do not force yourself to go on as you may lose your
power of concentration. Instead, you may want to take a short nap to refresh yourself. Studying may
also tire the eyes. When you study, it may be a good idea to lift your eyes away from your books
occasionally. Looking at objects at a distance or at greenery can help soothe tired eyes.
16. Why shouldn’t you choose the chair which is so comfortable to sit in?
a. Because you may fall off it. b. Because it isn’t good for your health.
c. Because you may fall asleep in it. d. Because you may stay awake in it.
17. If your house is too noisy, you should ________________
a. go to your friend’s house instead. b. go to the library or community centre to study
c. study later when the house is quiet. d. try to study
18. What should you do when you have studied for a period of time?
a. Change to another subject. b. Have a short break.
c. Keep on studying d. Go to sleep.
19. When you feel sleepy, ________________
a. go out for a walk. b. listen to music for a while.
c. refresh yourself by taking a nap. d. encourage yourself to go on.
20. Lifting the eyes away from your books can ________________
a. make you lose your concentration. b. tire them.
c. refresh you. d. soothe them.
