如何提升自己的英語學(xué)習(xí)能力

　　More and more people are going back to school to take courses to get further qualifications these days. These like-minded people want to improve themselves for better futures. These mature students, along with current students in college or university, may find it a real challenge to keep up with all the studying required to do well in their courses. Indeed, this is very much related to productivity issues of getting enough done.

　　如今，更多的人回到學(xué)校進(jìn)修以獲得更多的資格認(rèn)證。希望提升自己以獲得更好的前途人想法都是相似的。你們這些業(yè)已成年的家伙們在和學(xué)院或大學(xué)中現(xiàn)有的學(xué)生們同班就讀時就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，要想跟上趟可不是件容易的事，因為你要把每門課都學(xué)好。說到底，這主要是個學(xué)習(xí)效率的問題。

　　When I started in university many years ago, it was a bit of a culture shock. One of the most extreme differences on campus compared to high school was that the professors didn’t really seem to care whether I showed up for classes or not. In some classes, many students were even falling asleep.

　　多年以前，當(dāng)我在大學(xué)里剛起步之時，可算是實實在在地體會了一點(diǎn)文化震蕩。大學(xué)校園與高中之間最大的一個不同，就是教授們其實好像真不怎么在乎你是否去上課。在上某些課時，有很多同學(xué)甚至都睡著了。

　　I enjoyed this freedom of showing up for classes whenever I wanted. But the rude awakening soon came when I got my first set of grades. My marks sank to ‘C’ averages and I was even at risk of failing a course or two.

　　我很享受這種想去上課就去、想不去就不去的自由。但在我拿到第一份成績單的時候，我猛醒了。我的分?jǐn)?shù)降到了平均成績“C”，甚至到了掛掉一兩科的邊緣。

　　Better study habits

　　更好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣

　　My study habits were poor and last minute cramming for tests or exams made university life quite stressful. Some things had to change as I faced the possibility of dropping out of university without a degree. If you are either a current or returning student, I’m sure that you don’t want to be in this type of situation either.
