When my mom went to school， the teachers taught one way. They stood in frontof the classroom and talked. Students only listened and wrote things down. Today， itis different.

Teachers often teach different ways. This is good because there are differentways of learning. Some people learn best when they listen. For these students， itcan be useful to record1 a class and listen to it later. But some people learn betterwhen they see new information2. When they see the information， they rememberit better. These students can learn easily by studying tables and maps. Or theymay use flash cards3 with pictures to learn words or other things.

And then there are people who learn best when they do something. Thismeans that they need to use their hands or bodies when they learn. For example，it may be difficult for a student to learn how to make something by reading a listof steps4. But that student might easily learn by doing them once5.

There are two things that can help most students remember new things. One thingis to repeat6 new things after learning them. The more times a student sees or hearssomething， the more chances7 it can be remembered.

Also， students should spend more time studying things in the middle of abook. It is easy to remember contents at the beginning or end of a book. But studentsdo not easily remember the contents in the middle of a book. So， it is a goodidea to spend more time on the middle part. Then， the middle part can be rememberedas well as the beginning and end.

當(dāng)我媽媽上學(xué)的時(shí)候，教師用的是單向教學(xué)。他們站在教室前講課，學(xué)生們只聽課，并記下筆記。今天，情況有所不同。

教師經(jīng)常用不同的方式教學(xué)。這很好，因?yàn)橛胁煌膶W(xué)習(xí)方式。有些人在聽的時(shí)候?qū)W得最好。對(duì)于這些學(xué)生來說，錄制一節(jié)課之后再聽可能會(huì)很有用。但有些人看到新信息后會(huì)學(xué)得更好。在看到這些信息時(shí)，他們會(huì)把這些信息記得更牢。這些學(xué)生可以通過表格和地圖輕松學(xué)習(xí)。或者他們可以使用帶圖片的卡片來學(xué)習(xí)單詞或其他內(nèi)容。

還有一些人在做事情時(shí)學(xué)得最好。這意味著他們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)時(shí)需要用到手或身體其他部位。例如，有的學(xué)生可能很難通過閱讀一系列步驟來學(xué)習(xí)如何制作某樣?xùn)|西。但那個(gè)學(xué)生可能按步驟做一次就能輕易學(xué)會(huì)了。

有兩點(diǎn)可以幫助大多數(shù)學(xué)生記住新內(nèi)容。一點(diǎn)是在學(xué)習(xí)了新內(nèi)容之后再復(fù)習(xí)。學(xué)生看到或聽到的次數(shù)越多，就有更多的機(jī)會(huì)能記住它。

此外，學(xué)生應(yīng)該花更多時(shí)間研究一本書中間部分的內(nèi)容。記住一本書的開頭或結(jié)尾的內(nèi)容很容易。但學(xué)生們不容易記住書中間部分的內(nèi)容。所以，花更多的時(shí)間在中間部分是個(gè)好主意。這樣，中間部分就會(huì)像開頭和結(jié)尾一樣被牢記。
