Spoken English Part 19

Some tips for effective learning:

From the outset of our existence we have been dragging into the process of learning. It starts from learning how to walk to how to speak, both of which are necessary for discovering our surrounding in order to be able to tie a relationship with its parts. Thus, it is undeniable that every single move we make is based on the keyword; knowledge.

Knowledge should be the core and pivot of our moves, the point on which the young should base their attempts while making future plans. But the present-day students are finding themselves in a daze, surrounded by avalanches of troubles resulting in having a gloomy vision about what they want, which even affects their academic career.

Here are some tips I think are necessary for students to follow to face up their upcoming challenges:

Do what you love, love what you do:

The grave mistake that some students make is the random choice of their field of study, whether done due to lack of foreknowledge or sometimes as a result of misguidance. In order not to be another victim, the best advice to follow is to make a quite free choice based on inner admiration towards the chosen field, which I believe to be the sure-fire likely to lead to a bright future.

Be self-taught:

A special quality that every student needs is self-teaching. Apart from the usual programme and materials scheduled by schools and universities, it’s utterly important to adopt a strategy based on leading one’s personal research and make tremendous efforts to broaden knowledge. The best skills we acquire are those we learn on our own. This method not only bears fruits, but it teaches students how to deal with different situations, as well as instils in them the necessary tools they need throughout their professional careers such as sense of responsibility, working with methodology, perseverance and self-motivation.

Self-confidence: you can do it!

To keep focus on one’s aim is a challenge itself; it’s a question of resisting all kinds of lures and temptation to only keep ahead.

Self-confidence as a very added value is what you need. Having the capacity of trusting your abilities, eradicating fear and all things that may mar your concentration, and whenever you meet the dreams killers, try to listen to yourself, your inner part and say “yes I can do, I am determined and no one in the world is able to hold me back to prevent me from doing what I want”.

A comfortable place is the best option:

During their academic career, students should grasp that their emotional state has a significant effect on their productivity. Among the things they should be careful about is the place they choose for their studies.

For instance, while studying, try to choose a calm place, and if possible with attractive decoration inciting productivity. Whenever boredom starts surging and striking hard, then you have to realise it’s time for a change, look for another spot where you recharge your battery and think clearly.
