How to learn faster

孙淑元

In order to fit into the changing environ⁃ment of our lives more quickly， we need to learn better. Take care of your body， its helpful for your learning.

Get plenty of sleep. Youll want to be sure to get plenty of sleep if you want your brain to get enough information. Go to bed early， get a few hours of sleep， and then get up early so that you can study more with a clear brain.

Eat enough food.  When youre hungry， your brain will have a really hard time getting any information. Make sure that you get enough food for all of the meals. You might even want to choose some healthy snacks while you are studying.

Drink plenty of water. When your body doesnt get enough water， you wont be able to focus. You can easily become upset by your thirst. It can even lead to things like a headache， making it even harder for you to learn.

Get exercise. Light exercise while study?ing can help you to learn faster. For people who are very physical and active， being forced to stay still for too long can also make it hard to stay focused. So exercising while studying can also be helpful in that way.

Teach your brain to learn. You might need to work to retrain your brain for good habits. Improve your focus by doing more tasks without breaks. Set a time and place thats just for learning. This will make your brain want to do more and you wont strug⁃gle to learn quite so much.

【篇章大意】

现代社会，人们为了更好地适应不断变化的生活环境，真正做到与时俱进，应该不断地学习。而要想达到高效的学习效果，除了方法与毅力之外，还要注意安排好日常的饮食起居，并养成科学用脑的良好习惯。

【疑难点睛】

Go to bed early， ...so that you can study more on a clear brain. 早点上床睡觉，……这样你就可以在头脑清醒的时候多学一些。

这是一个复合句，主句为几个并列的祈使句。so that是连词，意为“以便”，引导的是目的状语从句;with a clear brain是介词短语，意为“头脑清醒的状态”。
