5 Study tips for College students of Developed Nations
27
Apr
One obvious path of improving your performance is improving your study habits. This page contains 5 useful tips and strategies for making your efforts as profitable as possible. These study habits have been proven effectual by many college going students. If you don’t have time to attempt all of these study methods, just pick and choose one or two. Only if you actually try, I assure you that they will assist. As you instigate to see improvements, then you might try some of the other study tips. Moreover, some of the tips focused bellow may be more appropriate to your particular situation, and some may be comparatively less.
Write out your own study guide from the syllabus
This makes you understand the concepts you are summarizing, as well as putting the information into your long-term memory. Your study guide should also include doing as many past papers as you can. It will help you tremendously in preparing for the exams, as many exams have similar types of questions to previous years, and after doing the questions a few times, you get so used to them, that the difficult one questions seem basic, because you are used to the style of question.”
Read the Study material to be covered in a lecture in advance
It works pretty well is to read and prepare the material to be covered in a lecture earlier. As you are covering that chapter create an outline, leaving plenty of space. Take this outline to the lecture and add to it new points the teacher gives, underline on issues that you find difficult to understand and make sure you will clarify your underlined doubts in the lecture.
Make your own notes for every class discussion
Students should make their own notes for every class discussion. Because if they only rely on their book, there could be some points that are hard to understand. Moreover, if you only listen to your professors, there is always a trend to forget. Fact is one has lots of things in his mind, and that one can’t remember every single detail which could be very important. One more thing, if ever you ask for your classmates’ notes, for example if you missed a class, you are not sure that their notes are complete or that their notes are all correct. It is possible for them to miss out important details or misunderstood some concepts. Hence, you should attend classes regularly because it’s going to be your loss to miss a class and not others
Taking notes on a PowerBook computer will help immensely.
•It makes the notes readable & printable.
•Notes are saved in a retrievable place for the class and to use as records for papers in other classes
•The procedure of recording class notes onto a word processing document makes you willfully categorize topics as you type.
Summarize a chapter of a subject, in question format
It may help you preparing for your final exams better, if in prior duration of study you would summarize up a chapter of a subject in a question format.Means,that question’s answer suppose to cover all the key aspects of the chapter.Then,your job over. Just prepare for that particular question and you are ready for any direct and indirect questions on that subject.

What are your reasons for learning Chinese?
17
Apr
Learning Chinese is easier with clearly defined reasons
Why are you learning Chinese? Whether you are just starting your studies of Chinese language or have been studying for a while, it’s of great importance that you’re conscious of your motivations for wanting to learn the language. The more clearly defined your motivations for learning Chinese, the better you will be at reaching YOUR individual goals. Sure, you may be saying, “I already have reasons for learning Chinese.” You might even have a few apparently good reasons for learning Chinese, such as:
“Chinese is the language of the future” or
“Chinese speakers are in high demand”
“China has 1.3 billion people” or
I’m not saying these are bad reasons for learning Chinese. They are fine reasons. The problem is that they’re not personal enough. It is crucial to have YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL reasons for learning Chinese because those are the only ones that will keep you motivated you during the long and occasionally difficult journey of learning Chinese. Also, having more specific reasons is better. A person who’s motivation for learning Chinese is “I’d like to research the effects of China’s Western Development project on ethnic minorities in XinJiang province” will have a much easier time than someone who’s reason is “I like kung-pao chicken.”
Having specific outcomes for learning Chinese will also help you to learn Chinese much more efficiently. You see, if we consider the first three reasons given above, we’ll come to the realization that they don’t address a few key questions that everyone should ask themselves when making the decision to learn Chinese. In the coming days, we’ll deal with what these questions are and how to answer them. Right now, we’ll just consider two questions as a way to show how having the right kinds of reasons can help a lot when learning Chinese:
1) “Should I learn simplified characters or traditional characters?”
2) “Am I going to just learn conversational Chinese, or learn to read and write too?”
If you have clearly established your individual reasons for learning Chinese, answering these questions will be much easier, and thinking about these questions will ensure that your reasons are the right ones for YOU. This way, your progress in learning Chinese will be much quicker.
Let’s consider the first question. “I am interested in diaspora literature written by Taiwanese authors” might be your reason for learning Chinese. Well, since they use the traditional writing system in Taiwan you will most likely want to learn traditional characters from the start. Or your reason may be: “I want to find a manufacturer of widgets in China without going through a middleman.” If this is your reason, learning traditional characters might not be so crucial. Many people don’t really think about this question too carefully before deciding on which system to use when learning Chinese. With both systems, simplified and traditional, it can be a HUGE task to go back and re-study all the characters in the other system. So making sure to think about this kind of question early on can really save you a HUGE amount of time.
It’s the same when you’re trying to decide if you want to just learn “conversational Chinese” or if you want to learn to read and write the characters as well. Lot’s of people are scared off by the thousands of Chinese characters and choose to stick with “conversational Chinese” and avoid learning the characters. I would say that this isn’t a good decision for anyone who desires to achieve at least an intermediate level of skill in spoken Chinese. It may be the right choice for some people though, in a number of limited cases. Like if you just want to impress your friends by ordering a few dishes in Chinese at the local ‘Sichuan Palace.’ Regardless of what your decisions may end up being, having individual and thought-out goals can assist you in making your choice.
These are just a couple ways that having thought-out and personal reasons can help you on the road to learning Chinese. Lot’s of other questions will come up all the time. If you have clear motivations for learning Chinese, you’ll be more likely to make the correct choices according to your own unique situation.
