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.

            A. your ability to study well.

            B. the best chair to sit for studying.

            C. environment for studying.

There are great round holes on the moon. They look like big lakes. They are called craters.
There are more than 30,000 craters on the moon. There are also high mountains. The highest
mountains on the moon are about 26, 000 feet or 8,000 meters high.
And here is something very interesting to know: on the moon you weigh one sixth of what
you weigh on earth. If you weigh 50 kilos, on the moon you will weigh only a little more than 8
kilos. You will be able to jump very high, even higher than an Olympic Champion. You can take
very long steps as well. And…Maybe you won’t sleep very well because one day on the moon lasts
for two weeks.
