We have studied in Songpu High School for several months.When I first went into the school gate and saw my new classroom and teachers，I thought I would have a new start.The school life is very busy and exciting.There are many activities in our school，such as Sports Meeting，Science Week，Art Week and so on.We all take an active part in them.I have made many new friends and we often help and learn from each other in study.Our teachers have taught us a lot.They not only teach us how to study but also teach us how to be a useful person in society.They tell us which thing is worth doing.Habit is a second nature.Our teachers often tell us to form a good habit.

People often say：There is no rule of learning.Now I feel it is true.The study now is far more different than before.I often find there is something difficult to understand at once.At this time，you must spend a lot of time studying by yourself or you won’t make progress.Of course study is hard but when you make progress you’ll find it is interesting.

Our school is clean and beautiful.There are many trees and flowers around it.In order to make our school more and more beautiful，we should try our best to keep it clean.

Today we are proud of Songpu.Tomorrow Songpu will be proud of us.

How to Become a Better Student

Maybe you are an average student.You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so，however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here is how.

Plan your time carefully.

When planning your week，you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making the list，you should make a schedule of your time.First arrange your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc..Then decide a good，regular time for studying.Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems，but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study.

Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this place，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials.No games，radios or TV！When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class.

Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.Really listening in class means less work later.Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly.

When you get home from schools，go over your notes.Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class.If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read the material.This will help you understand the next class.If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude about the tests.

The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you to remember your new knowledge.The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test，so don’t be overly worried.
