About to start a new school year

from Banco Imágenes ITE

Once again the summer holidays are over and we have to start thinking of the new year. It is a good time to make resolutions for this new school year. So, what changes should you make? Just concentrate on the most important ones but remember that the most important thing is being realistic about the changes we want to make and sticking to our resolutions.

If you want to succeed at school, you should:

1. Pay attention to your teachers in class and ask them if there is something you do not understand.
2. Decide how long you are going to study every day (even if there are no written exercises for homework)
3. Make a timetable for your study time and follow it. Stick in on your desk so that you can easily see it.
4. Allow for some rest if you have to study for longer periods than one hour.
5. Everything you may need should be at reach so that you don't have any excuses for standing up.
6. Ask your family for help: they might ask you how things are going, help you study for your exams, etc.
7. Tell your family how things are going. Tell them when there is good and bad news.

And remember that the most difficult thing is to make these changes permanent.
