Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 22 Study in class, review after class (2)
Qian Zhongshu: Memorization alone is not enough, you must learn to take notes
"Qian Zhongshu, are you familiar with it? Taotao."

"Of course, the one called 'camera memory' by the foreign correspondents, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's him. He has always been praised for his extraordinary memory. He can still remember things he read decades ago. Among modern Chinese scholars, there is no second person who can compare with Chen Yinke, a master of history. He compared it. However, he also emphasized the habit of taking notes when reading."

The late famous scholar and writer Qian Zhongshu, in his academic works such as "Talking about Art", "Guan Zhui Bian" and "Selected Notes on Song Poems", cited tens of thousands of references, covering literature, history, philosophy, psychology, etc. and many other disciplines.Interestingly, his own collection of books is very small. There are two or three small bookshelves in his study, which contain some reference books and books presented to him by the publishing house and the author.He doesn't have a lot of books, but he has written a lot of books. Among them, the large number of reading notes he made while browsing the books in the library played an important role.

At the beginning, Qian Zhongshu didn't think that notes should be taken while reading.When he was studying at Tsinghua University, he thought he had a photographic memory. He didn't even take notes in class, and he didn't even bother to take notes outside of class.After entering Tsinghua University, although he determined to "sweep Tsinghua University's library", when he was reading, he only drew pictures with pencils on the books and did not take notes.When his classmate Rao Yuwei wrote about Qian Zhongshu in the article "Memories of Tsinghua University", he said: "He likes to read, and he also encourages others to read. He also has a quirk. When reading, he likes to use a black and thick pencil to draw pictures. Most of the lines and comments in Tsinghua’s collection of books are written by this gentleman.” When Qian Zhongshu taught at Shanghai Guanghua University after graduation, he learned from the practice of preparing lessons and writing articles. When I realized that memorization alone is not enough for memorization, I started to take notes while reading, and developed a good habit.

We were deeply inspired by Mu Mu's narration. Even Qian Zhongshu, who has a "camera memory", pays great attention to developing the habit of reading and taking notes, not to mention us students with average memory?As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. In class, we must memorize knowledge points, be handy in learning, and quickly improve academic performance. We must develop a good habit of taking notes.

Many excellent scores in the college entrance examination have benefited from the good habit of taking notes.

Xu Hong, the 2002 college entrance examination science champion in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said: Taking class notes is a very important part of my study, and I have benefited a lot from it.

Xiao Zhe, Hunan's top science student in the 2002 college entrance examination, said: I attach great importance to taking class notes, and I have developed this habit since I was a child.It can be said that many of my usual study and review before the college entrance examination are based on my rich notes.

The twin sister Zhang Xiaodong, who was the "sister champion" in science in the 2002 college entrance examination in Guizhou, said: My class notes are often borrowed by classmates in the class.Not only did I pay attention to taking notes, but I formed a habit, and I remembered them very carefully.My younger sister Zhang Xiaonan said: My memory is not as good as that of my sister, and the habit of taking notes was also inspired and influenced by my sister. Good habits really helped me a lot in my studies.

Notes are an effective external memory of the human brain and an extension of human memory.In addition to listening attentively in class, taking notes properly is not only conducive to understanding and memorizing what you have learned, promoting positive thinking, enhancing the effect of listening to lectures, but also providing an important basis for review after class. Persevere, it can also improve writing speed and organize text Level.The findings also showed that people who took notes performed significantly better on tests and exams than those who didn't.Therefore, we must develop the habit of taking class notes.

Habit wins, develop a good habit of taking notes in class, transform the knowledge in class into your own things, master it well, and your grades will naturally improve, and it will no longer be difficult to become a top student.So, what should you pay attention to when taking notes?
1. Take notes at a certain time

People often say: "Listen and think while remembering." This sentence sounds very easy, but it is very difficult to coordinate the three reasonably in just a few minutes.The premise of taking notes is not to affect the teacher's lecture, which requires students to grasp a certain opportunity when taking notes in class.Generally speaking, there are three opportunities to take notes: one is when the teacher writes on the blackboard, seize this opportunity to memorize by force; Notes are added.

2. Don’t copy other people’s notes

Some students think that since the teacher is talking about the same content anyway, if others have memorized it, I don’t need to memorize it, and just copy it after class.This is an excuse for your laziness.As mentioned above, taking notes can deepen the understanding of the teacher's lecture content and concentrate attention. If you don't take notes, the efficiency of class will be greatly reduced.Moreover, because different people have different understandings of the same problem, and the angles and methods of taking notes are also different, so the content of the notes will also be different.Therefore, how can you improve your academic performance by taking other people's notes?

Enjoy the convenience of the Internet and take notes on computer documents

"Taotao, the English CD you bought has been delivered."

"Actually, the things you bought are available online."

"is it?"

"The modern network is so developed, we need to develop the habit of using the network to learn. Especially in English, the use of auxiliary means is of great help to improve our listening, speaking, reading and writing skills."

Mumu is right, we have entered the Internet age, and the Internet is quietly changing our learning methods and habits.Using the Internet, we can assist English learning through the following methods:

1. Frequently visit English learning websites

These websites will provide a lot of information and materials for English learning, such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, tests, background knowledge, etc. These materials, including some audio-visual materials, can be downloaded.These learning websites can be queried through search engines, and you can find the information and materials you want by entering the key fields of the materials you need.

2. Log in to the English Learning Forum
The learning forum is an important place for information exchange. You can see a lot of English learning materials and information in the English learning forum.Learners can post their own posts, post difficult problems, work together, discuss with each other, and solve problems together.In the forum, everyone can communicate and discuss freely.

3. Use the English chat room for English communication and learning

Download an English chat software, such as ICQ, register a user name, look up a number on the Internet, find the person you want to talk to, and chat in English, which can exercise your oral English ability well.At the same time, you can make some foreign friends. If you have regular friends, you can communicate with them by email.

Using the Internet to learn English is a breakthrough. After developing such a habit, we can use the Internet to study more subjects, so that our academic performance can be improved faster.It can be said that the Internet has shortened the distance between people in space, brought people from all over the world to us, brought famous teachers from famous schools all over the country to come to us, and provided us with more and more convenient communication opportunities.Such a method can make up for the shortcomings of the general method, which will greatly improve the learning effect.

Learning English online is just a breakthrough in using the Internet. The times are developing and the society is progressing. Today, the concept of lifelong learning has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We must keep pace with the times, learn and be good at using the latest and best network resources to arm ourselves , to help us develop better in the fierce competition.

Compared with other methods, online learning has many advantages, such as:

(1) Large amount of information.There are a large number of resources on the Internet, which can be freely selected by learners.

(2) Strong interactivity.Using the network can learn in a more practical language environment, and learners can enter a flexible and dynamic situation.

(3) Fast update.Language and knowledge on the Internet are more closely aligned with language in real life.

(4) Interesting.Multimedia materials on the Internet are more attractive and easier to accept than knowledge in books.

(5) Can participate in online online learning.We can find suitable teachers through some authoritative distance education websites.Distance education breaks the boundaries of regions. Even if you are in a remote village, you can also listen to the courses of famous teachers from famous schools online.It should be noted that when receiving distance education, you must choose an authoritative distance education website, and beware of being deceived on some unknown small websites.

We use the Internet as a learning tool for the purpose of obtaining the desired information faster and better for effective learning.However, there are some issues to be aware of:
(1) Don't be addicted to the Internet, and waste your studies.It is best to clarify some things before going online every time, for example, when do you plan to go online today, for how long, and what kind of information you want to find, etc.

(2) Learn to use the Internet to find the learning materials you need, and save them in the corresponding computer folders. This is not only faster than hand-written notes, but also has a large storage capacity, and has the characteristics of flexible access and easy modification. .Therefore, this can be regarded as a time-saving and efficient way of taking notes.
