How to stay focused in class
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit, and it is also bad to your grade. Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself, which will be very important.
1. No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to avoid them. Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class. This will get you into trouble.
Look at teacher and make eye contact. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking.2. Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye. This person should have your full attention at all times during class.
Take notes. By taking notes, you'll be able to "get into" the lesson. Write down key points as your teacher speaks. And listen to the key phrases such as "This is important" "This is the main idea" "This will be the test" etc.3.
Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it.4.This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class.
Ask a question.5.This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with. Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question (and was too afraid to ask!). They'll be relieved, and so will you.
A.Avoid sitting with friends.
B.This can help you listen more attentively.
C.If he or she ask for an opinion, share your own.
D.Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class.
E.He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education.
F.The more quickly you answer, the more attention you pay.
G.If you don't understand something, never be afraid to ask.
Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.
Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A former research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrated on studies with learners who had signed up for language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.
Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are ready for use for free while some contents are not. We find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level because there is a reduction in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Female users are likely to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.
Feedback in the app is highly thought of. More than 92% of the users say that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the app as very good or good. In fact, more than 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.
Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance nervousness that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.
1.What's the reason why the results of the former research weren't always reliable?
A.It only considered users of a limited kind.
B.It just focused on positive results.
C.It was only carried out before class.
D.It used out-of-date methods.
2.What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?
A.It's used by more advanced learners.
B.. All the contents are free to use.
C.Most users consider it satisfying.
D.It's more popular with female learners.
3.The underlined word"address"in the last paragraph can be replaced by_____.
A.cause B.solve
C.increase D.practice
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.
B.Students won't suffer nervousness in learning languages by using Busuu.
C.Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.
D.Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.
