Getting good results in your studies comes from developing good study habits. The best place to study is a comfortable room with good lighting. The best chair for studying should be one which you would be comfortable in, but not so comfortable that you may fall asleep in it after while! Before you study, look for a quite environment with no distractions. If you find your home too noisy for studying, try the library or community centre instead.

When you study, set realistic targets for yourself to achieve. For example, do not aim to study five chapters of Geography in one sitting when you know that you take more than an hour to read one chapter. Furthermore, remember not to push yourself too hard. When you study for a period of time, reward yourself by taking a short break. You could perhaps take a short walk or listen to some music for a while.

If you begin to feel sleepy when studying, do not force yourself to go on as you may lose your power of concentration. Instead, you may want to take a short nap to refresh yourself. Studying may also be strenuous on the eyes. When you study, it may be a good idea to lift your eyes away from your books occasionally. Looking at objects at a distance or at greenery can help refresh tired eyes.

1. The first thing to be considered in developing good study habits is _____________.

            A. your ability to study well.

            B. the best chair to sit for studying.

            C. environment for studying.

           D. your attitude towards good study at home.

2. Which of the following does not improve your good study habits?
