How to Become a More Effective Learner
In order to be an effective learner, we must be able to do certain things first. Time organization, power of will, and recollection are just some of the factors that influence how good of a learner we are. It will take some practice and effort to become the best learner of them all.
1. One of the ways that would make you more efficient is to never stop learning. What does this mean? If you are learning a new language, you should practice using it every day. This way, you will never forget a word or have problems with fluency, for example. Moreover, your proficiency would increase. 2.
Experiment with the learning techniques. In order to find out what is the best technique for you, you should experiment and try to learn in several different ways. 3. Then, you should try retelling it to a friend, or maybe even writing it down. The point is to involve as many parts of your brain as possible.
4. Lastly, once you have finished learning, you should test your knowledge out. This is the best way to be sure you have actually comprehended the things you have learned. Some of the testing options include transferring your knowledge to another person, as in being a teacher.
All in all, becoming a better learner will take time. 5. You should go at its full speed and focus your mind on the knowledge you will get by the end of the learning process.
A.Test your knowledge.
B.Achieve your knowledge.
C.Whatever you do, do not stop learning.
D.First, you could read and repeat the material.
E.First, you could experiment it in a different way.
F.Moreover, it will take a lot of effort and practice.
G.In addition to languages, this can be applied for every other thing you might be learning.
Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It’s not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It’s not because they’re bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they’re smart.
“Fish are sensitive, and they have personalities,” says the marine (海洋) biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. “Personally, I would never eat anyone I know.”
There’s a lot more about fish: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. “While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. “Really, ifs kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing or eating fish more important than the pain of the fish?”
Fishermen and fish lovers are doubtful. “I’ve never seen a smart fish,” says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. “If they were very smart, they wouldn’t get caught.”
“For years, everyone’s been telling us to eat fish because it’s so good for us,” says another diner. “Now I’ve got to feel guilty while I’m eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don’t eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?”
1.What does Dr. Sylvia think of fish?
A.Clever. B.Endangered.
C.Poisonous. D.Low.
2.Who doubts about fish being smart?
A.Dr. Sylvia. B.Marie Swaringen.
C.Dr. Lynne Sneddon. D.Earle.
3.What could be the best title of the text?
A.Is Fish Feeling Painful? B.Dr. Sylvia Earle and Fish
C.A Fish’s Adventure D.Eat Fish or Not?
