LEARNING TO LEARN
SELF-MOTIVATION : BE PERSISTENT
Sometimes a task can seem very difficult to complete. When this happens, it is
important to be persistent. This means that you keep trying even when you
find something challenging. Did you know that persistence is more important
than intelligence for success and high grades? Follow these tips the next time
you have a difficult task:
• Take it one step at a time.
• Be positive and patient.
• Keep trying again and again.
• Know when to ask for help.

Think about a difficult task you completed recently. What steps did you take to help you
finish it? How did you feel when you were successful? Complete the table below. Write
below. (page 129)

SPEAKING
1 2.20 Listen to a mystery story. Why didn’t the man report the crime? Write and ask
your teacher questions to solve the mystery. (page 130)

Mystery 1

A strange thing happened yesterday. A man came out of a bank, went into the
station and got on a train. He was carrying a big leather bag. When the train
arrived at his station, he stood up and walked to the doors. Then guess what …
while he was getting off the train, someone took his bag and ran away. The man
ran after him, but he couldn’t catch him. Suddenly, a police car arrived. A police
officer got out and asked the man, ‘Do you want to report a crime?’ You won’t
believe this, but the man said, ‘No, thank you,’ and went back into the station to
catch the next train. Why do you think he didn’t report the robbery?

• Your questions can only be answered ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

• You can ask for a clue if you are unsure.
• You can guess — but clever questions are better.
