Another essential element of successful studying is time management.
Many students simply "shove" for the test, but doing so prevents long-
term learning because the knowledge that was stored in short-term
memory is later forgotten. In order to achieve their best results for their
study time, Bedford and Wilson urge students to pace themselves
during the semester. Working till you are drained and unable to focus is
not advisable. So, the most efficient method of studying is to approach
it as a lengthy process that lasts throughout the semester as opposed
to a hurried session the night before each test.

Activity 18
Should parents be allowed to bring their young baby to anupscale
restaurant? Recently there has been some debate about this issue.
Restaurant customers sometimes complain that acrying baby can ruin
their special evening out. They say that it is not acceptable that they
have paid a lot of money for a special evening and then a crying baby
spoils their experience. Some parents say that everyone has the right to
eat in any restaurant. For them, the price of the meal should not
determine who can and cannot eat at that restaurant. Restaurant
owners find themselves in a difficult situation because they do not want
to lose affluent customers who are willing to spend a lot of moneyat
their places of business. However, these same owners do notwant to
appear to be cold-hearted when it comes to children.It is in deed a
difficult situation.In the mean time, it appears that different restaurants
will have different policies about customers bringing young babies with
them.
