Do you think that you're working hard but still can't get good grades? Here are some tips for you.
You can't spend your whole day studying alone. Try to find friends in your class and study with them. Group studying helps you to understand the lessons much better.
Ask yourself "If I'm the teacher, what would I put on the test?" You have probably experienced many of your teacher's tests and quizzes by now. Learn from them for the next test. Remember: you don't need to memorize every single's details, just the ones that the teacher feels important. It's your job to find out what that is.
Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other related ideas. You need to draw a mind-map and try to connect pieces of information to each other and put them together. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience.
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the right food to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a very important role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods can make your brain strong.
Your brain can also be tired if you overwork it. You should divide studying into 30-minutes blocks with quick breaks in between. If you do so, your brain will feel refreshed, thankful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.

Why do people have the great celebration for Beethoven's birthday? This outstanding composer's(作曲家) works continue to catch millions of people's attention even 250 years later. His pieces are played more often than those of any other composer. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (第九交响曲)influenced music listening in the 20th century. The playing time for a CD was set at 74 minutes because it would fit the longest recordings of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. This allowed people to enjoy the musical masterpiece on one CD.
Beethoven's Sixth Symphony has become the theme music of environmental activities because the work expresses a love of nature. Last November a concert was held in an elephant park in Thailand, where a pianist played passages from the work. The concert was part of the Beethoven Pastoral Project(贝多芬田园计划). The United Nations and others planned it to help promote (促进)climate protection
Who knows if Beethoven's music will be popular in the next 250 years? There is no doubt it will be enjoyed!
