EDITH MILAGROS BENITES FLORES/ DRAFT 2/ A05

MOST OF MY FRIENDS have advised me that I need to change my study habits, I think
the same. EACH DAY look for A NEW WAY to improve it, but I haven't had success. I
have listened TOO MUCH ADVICE but none of it was right for me. SOME COUSINS
called me and they told me that I should go to a psychologist to get SOME NEW ADVICE
so I decided to go I think it was the best decision I took of my life. I'm going to give you
ENOUGH ADVICE for you can put them into practice.
Don't leave your homework to the last minute. It is better to advance your HOMEWORK
A LITTLE EACH DAY because you avoid stress. At SOME POINT in our lives we have
replaced our homework with SOME ACTIVITIES that we enjoy. when I left my homework
to the last minute I didn't have ENOUGH TIME to do a good homework. I remember I
didn’t do A LOT OF HOMEWORK and on A COUPLE OF opportunities I had to do extra
homework.
Make a schedule and follow to it. It seems easy to make a schedule, but it is not. MANY
TIMES when we make our schedule we don't consider to take breaks and when we study
it is necessary to have a FEW BREAKS because studying will be boring to continue
studying and you won't get ALL THE ATTENTION you need, is important that after
studying for FORTY-FIVE MINUTES you take FIVE OR SIX MINUTE break. In your
break you can take A COUPLE OF MINUTES to drink SOME WATER or may be eat
SOME FRUIT.
To make summaries and concept maps. It can be boring and tiring at first, but
summarizing and concept mapping will BOTH BE YOUR BEST FRIENDS. I'm sure
you're questioning, will having MANY SUMMARIES OR CONCEPT MAPS help me my
study habits? The answer is yes because you will not have to read ALL THE PAGES of
your notebooks and it will be easy for you to study A FEW PAGES and be able to
remember ALL THE INFORMATION you need. You will also have ENOUGH TIME to
sleep and be energized to take A GOOD EXAM.
Don't compare yourself with others and give yourself A REWARD at the end of your
homework. It is important not to compare yourself with other people as EACH PERSON
is unique and has his or her own abilities. When you compare yourself to someone else
you lose A LOT OF TIME and gain A LOT OF INSECURITY and you will believe that you
are not good at studies. At the end of the day, buy yourself A SWEET or do AN ACTIVITY
that you like, but only if you complied with the schedule.
