USING DICTIONARIESThis can help you find the definition that matches the context of the word in the text.How Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored. Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are goodat and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best ways they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student. Asking questionsGood learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything thatyou learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.2c Read the passage again and answer the questions.1.Does the writer think that everyone is born with the ability to learn well? Do you agree? Why or why not?No. No, I don’t. Because whether or not you can learn well depends on your learning habits.2. Why is it a good idea to connect something you need to learn with something you are interested in?Because if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time.3. What do the sayings “Use it or lose it” and “Practice makes perfect” mean? Do you agree with them?We should keep practicing what we have learned. Even if we learn something well, we will forget it until we use it. Yes, I do. 4. Do good learners learn from mistakes or are they afraid of making mistakes?Good learners learn from mistakes. 6. Do you agree that learning is a lifelong journey? Why or why not?5. What study skills does the writer talk about?
