Ways to Make Studying More Fun讓學習更有趣的方法

Sara+Lindberg+陳延洲

Some students are eager to dive in and deal with the books while others have perfected the art of avoidance1， but one thing is for sure—it has to be done. So， rather than spend your time and energy coming up with ways to avoid doing your homework， why not look at how you can learn more efficiently and make the process a whole lot more enjoyable？

一些學生渴望潛心讀書，而另一些學生則竭盡所能去逃避，但有一件事是肯定的——那就是他們非學不可。所以，與其花時間和精力去逃避功課，為何不去看看如何才能更有效地學習，并使整個學習過程更加愉悅呢？

Get in the Zone進入學習區

Create a study zone that is comfortable. Sit in a bean bag rather than a chair. Use a stand-up desk or a computer desk instead of the kitchen table. Set up a space in your bedroom or your study that is just for studying. Put some time into making it a place you want to be； decorate it， paint a wall， or get some new furniture.

創建一個舒適的學習區吧。你可以坐在豆袋坐墊上而不是坐在椅子上。可以用站立式桌子或電腦桌代替餐桌。在你的臥室或書房里開辟一個空間來學習。花些時間讓它成為你想待的地方，裝飾它，粉刷好墻壁，或者購買些新家具。

Hands-on Learning親身實踐學習

Consider going on a field trip to experience it firsthand2. For example， if youre studying your state history， go check out one of the places mentioned in the text. If its math youre trying to make sense of， spend half a day with a builder and see how geometry3 is used， or talk with an engineer about how they figure out the result.

可以考慮去實地親身體驗。例如，如果你正在研究自己國家的歷史，那就去看看書中提到的某個地方吧。如果你想弄清楚的是數學，那么花半天時間和建筑工人一起看看幾何學是如何應用的，或者和一個工程師談談他們是如何計算出結果的吧。

Make It a Game把學習當作游戲

Viewing the text books and notes for hours can be mind-numbing4 and ineffective. Try using a tool to help remember facts or a large amount of information. It can be a song， image， or a phrase to help remember a list of facts in a certain order. Choose a friend， your mom， or someone who doesnt know the topic youre studying and teach them how to do it. Talking through what you learned helps the information stick and you can make sure you understand the concepts.

看課本和筆記長達幾個小時，有時會令人頭腦麻木，效率低下。嘗試著使用工具幫你記住事實和大量信息吧。它可以是一首歌曲、一張圖像，或一個短語，能幫你按一定的順序記住一系列的內容。選擇一個朋友、你的媽媽，或者是不懂你正在學的內容的其他什么人，然后教他們怎么做。通過討論來幫助鞏固你所學的知識，從而可以確保你理解了這些概念。

Study with a Partner和伙伴一起學習

Getting together with a friend or a group of classmates can help you learn new study techniques while still getting a few laughs in. Try having a discussion about a topic youre trying to learn. With a large group， you can test each others knowledge by making quizzes， creating true or false mini-tests and so on.

與朋友或一群同學聚在一起可以幫你學到新的學習技巧，同時還能收獲一些歡笑。試試就你要學的話題進行討論吧。你們組成一個大組就可以通過問答、判斷正誤的小測試等來檢測每個人的學習情況。……
