I guess, when you walk into the bookstore and find Notes of Top Scholar, Orsay Tutoring and Countermeasures for Full Score in College Entrance Examination, you must be sighing in your heart-because these reference books are too far away from your current learning state, and those attractive and brilliant goals are beyond your imagination. They are just a mirage, illusory. Your hope may be simple: as long as you get 90 points in the exam with a perfect score of 150, as long as you get rid of the bottom position and enter the ranks of intermediate students, as long as you raise the score of the most troublesome exam from 40 to 60, or as long as you are admitted to a "three colleges". What you need is not how to get to the top of the college entrance examination, what you need is practical and effective advice and help for your situation.
You are an ugly duckling, but you are eager to become a noble white swan to fly. There is a common absurd idea among the students who are behind in their grades: if I work as hard as him, I can study as well as him, or better than him. But in fact, this is just your comfort, whether it is a mule or a horse. If you really have such an ambition, you should be down-to-earth and steadily achieve this goal.
Find your own shortcomings
To paraphrase Tolstoy's famous saying, "All happy families are similar, and each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." The learning experiences of top students often have a lot in common, but there are many reasons why underachievers are in trouble. Many students are anxious about their bad state and want to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, so I heard that basic problems are very important, so I have to do two math problems today. It is said that English language sense is very helpful, and I have to recite an English text tomorrow. I am very busy, but I haven't improved much in the end. I can only sigh that I didn't study that material.
As the saying goes, "Rome was not built in a day." Backwardness in learning is not caused in a day, and treating headaches and foot pains can't solve the fundamental problem. The problems in reality do not appear in piles, but are logically and hierarchically displayed. There are usually two ways to solve problems: one is direct, the other is indirect, and different methods should be adopted for different problems.
For example, there is a rule in your school that students who ride bicycles must get off to get in and out of the school gate. But there are always some unruly boys who break this rule, make a fake action of getting off the bus as soon as they enter the door, and then ride in without hesitation; Or simply speed up and leave before others recognize you. If you are the school security director, what should you do? Simply put, there are two ways. The first method is to send two burly doormen to guard at the gate, closely monitor every student who comes in and out, and adopt an iron fist policy against cyclists who try to rush into the campus, pulling people out of the car, with one guarding them, and ten thousand people can't force them. The second method is to set up roadblocks at the door and set up two iron triangles with a height of 10 cm, so that cyclists have to get off the bus, and no one can easily ride over the roadblocks. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but the second method solves the problem more thoroughly. Even if the doorman is off duty, the students who should get off the bus have to get off. The difference between these two methods is that the first is the direct method to control the actor, and the second is the indirect method to control the behavior itself.
For you, the most urgent is not necessarily the most important. It is important to find a solution to one or two problems, but it is more important to change the root cause of one's backwardness in learning. This is the importance of study habits I mentioned earlier. You should strive to form an "automatic, spontaneous and conscious" mechanism. It is an unchangeable truth that water flows downwards. All you have to do is dig a river and let it flow freely.
In the past two years, there has been a best-selling book called "Details Decide Success or Failure", which is about China people's efforts to correct their careless bad habits. However, before testing every important detail, it is more important to outline and discover your own shortcomings.
If you never want to do the problem, you can't expect to do it quickly and well next time you meet the same type of problem, and you can't guarantee that the missed problem won't be wrong again. Some students don't know much and are too lazy to delve into it. They always feel that they already know. Why waste time on the same thing? But when it comes to seriousness, it is often ambiguous. If you always skip a few times in class, you will miss the essence of the teacher's explanation in class and the feast of knowledge with your eyes, ears and brains moving together. If you never finish your homework seriously and independently, and you just perfunctory or simply copy the answers every time, you will cheat yourself in the end.
Transform yourself and prescribe the right medicine. If you find yourself taking too many notes in class, the teacher speaks too fast or has too much content, you simply forget to attend class, just take notes blindly, and then spend time watching after class, which is equivalent to wasting class time in vain. There are too many notes in various subjects during the exam, so the review can't grasp the key points and points, and the review burden is heavy. Then what you have to do is to recognize the problems existing in taking notes, and then make up your mind to change this situation: lectures are the main part of classes, and notes are just summaries. If you encounter anything you don't understand, write it down in detail. If you can't remember it completely, you can borrow it from other students after class, which not only greatly improves the efficiency of attending classes, but also grasps the important and difficult points in knowledge and makes it clear at a glance when reviewing.
You are the one who knows your situation best. Calm down and think about your own shortcomings, and then the soldiers will stop and solve the problem systematically from the source. Of course, ask teachers and classmates more and listen to the opinions of people around you. Sometimes it's really a fan of the authorities.
Can you die without playing games?
This sentence sounds a bit vicious, and students who love playing computer games may not be able to accept it for a while. However, many students are trapped in the virtual world step by step because they can't control themselves, even those who study well.
Not only high school students, college students, but also students from Tsinghua and Peking University who used to be idols of their younger brothers and sisters have embarked on this road of no return. It is understandable to play computer games once in a while to relax, but you should remember that you play games and don't end up playing games with you. Don't trust yourself too much. "It doesn't matter if you play now. It's too late to study hard in the final exam." It is really secretive, and playing games without control will cause many serious problems. For example, violent tendencies, there are many young people who go to crime and never return, that is, confuse the game world with the real world and make lifelong mistakes in ignorance. For example, the biological clock is disordered, black and white are reversed, sitting still in front of the computer all day, and the body is getting worse every day.
Because of the unique virtuality and equality of the network, online games are more like an all-inclusive free space. Children who play online games lose their ideals first, because they can get everything in the game, so they lose their ideals in reality. Some people say that online games are a kind of drug, but they won't let you die, but they keep getting virtual happiness and infinite pain. This intertwined feeling makes you obsessed, scared and disgusted.
To get out of the quagmire of online games, we must first recognize its essence and fundamentally veto it through our own thinking ability. Secondly, we must realize the allure of online games. Quitting online games was not built in a day. Be sure to firmly control your desire to play games. Then make yourself in an optimistic state through self-adjustment. If there are grievances and anger in life, don't vent in the game and pursue something more valuable.
Coming out of the dark room, there is bright sunshine outside the door.
The way the ugly duckling takes off.
Being an "ugly duckling" is not terrible. The point is that you think of yourself as an ugly duckling and will never dream of swans again. Before you take off, you must overcome the following mentality.
One is "taking chances", attributing my poor performance before to various accidental factors, and feeling that I just didn't play my true level and had bad luck, instead of being strict with myself, finding practical problems and indulging in the dream of getting good grades next time.
The second is "inferiority complex", which is blinded by immediate difficulties and temporary backwardness. After successive blows, I don't think I was born to study, and no matter how hard I study, it's futile.
The third is "broken cans and broken falls." Others look down on themselves and they look down on themselves. Anyway, there was no hope, so I gave up and fell into the last few mires forever.
Believe in yourself, Henry Ford of Ford Motor Company once said: When you think you can or you can't-you are right! If you think you can do it, you can certainly do it; If you think you can't, then you can't.
The mentality is ready, and the following is to work hard step by step. The first is to make up the foundation and pick up the left-behind basic knowledge and skills. For science students, I suggest that the basic mathematical and physical formulas and principles should be supplemented first, so as to master the context and internal relations of knowledge and do some basic exercises accordingly. The examples and exercises in the book must be understood together (are these the simplest? I believe you can do it. As for the difficult exercises after class, let those awesome people chew them first, and then review the exercises that they can't do in the original homework and exam, so that they can finish them independently. For liberal arts students, we must first memorize the most basic knowledge, memorize the content and understand the content thoroughly. The age, people, events and significance of historical events are the most basic materials, followed by some commonly used theoretical systems and analytical methods. English should start with basic grammar and vocabulary, add 10 words every day and do 20 grammar questions. We should also train our sense of language. It is best to set aside a quarter of an hour to recite English texts aloud every day. You don't have to recite, but you must concentrate, read repeatedly, and don't be distracted.
You should fully estimate the lonely time before take-off, make enough psychological preparations, and you will have nothing if you give up halfway. Ma Yun of Alibaba has such a famous saying: "Today is cruel. Tomorrow will be even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful. But most people will die tomorrow night. Only a real hero can see the sun the day after tomorrow. " Don't worry, make a little progress every day, stick to it until the day after tomorrow, and you will always see the results of your efforts.
It is because you study hard that you may find that there are always some disappointments in life. So, keep yourself busy, and you will experience the rhythm and strength of life in a full life. Bees can make sweet honey because they are too hard to be sad.
The distance from ordinary students to top students
The distance between the average student and the top student is the shortest, only one step away. Many ordinary students have asked themselves where is the distance from the top students?
First, the basic knowledge of middle school students is not as solid as that of top students, or there are some blind spots in learning.
Second, middle school students are not flexible in mastering a lot of knowledge, and it is difficult to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study, and it is also difficult to draw inferences from others. This is a question of learning skills and learning methods.
Third, average students are not as good at summarizing as top students.
We often compare learning to a game of "you chase after me", in which the top students run in front and the poor students chase after. Although there is a distance between ordinary students and top students in many ways, the distance between them is not very far.
Why do you say that?
Because the average student is really a group with great potential. As an ordinary student, you may not have a solid knowledge base for the time being, but the blind spots can be swept away little by little and the foundation can be laid little by little; Maybe you don't know how to sum up the rules and skills of learning yet, but no matter how much knowledge and skills men have, they can't carry a little research ... More importantly, if you know where the gap with top students is, you can prescribe the right medicine and gradually narrow the distance with them.
If you still don't know where to improve yourself, you might as well follow these steps:
(1) Use your spare time to find the blind spots and loopholes in your basic knowledge.
(2) Reflect on whether there are problems in study habits and methods.
(3) Take summarization as an important learning task.
(4) Appropriate participation in extracurricular tutoring and one-on-one tutoring.
In most people's minds, compared with students with excellent academic performance, the success rate of middle school students will be very low, but why is the survey result the opposite?
In fact, this is the effect of the advantages of ordinary students.
First of all, everyone is eager for success, and ordinary students are no exception. But the average student's head is not as bright as that of the top students, and there is no dazzling honor. If you want to succeed, you must rely on your own efforts to compete and struggle. Therefore, most middle school students study and work very hard, which is the main reason for their success.
Secondly, the average student is very malleable.
Third, the style of middle school students is more pragmatic.
In learning, the average student lags behind the top students temporarily, but if we can apply our advantages to learning to the maximum extent, the distance between the average student and the top students will no longer be one step, and it is likely to be half a step, a quarter of a step or even shorter.
