Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether you can do well or not in your study largely depends on your learning habits. A study shows that successful learners have some habits in common.

Learning is a lifelong journey because everyday brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you. So you should learn wisely. Here are some suggestions: Create an interest in what you learn

Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to focus on(关注) it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in.

Practice and learn from mistakes

“Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone in one night. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.

Develop study skills.

They may have a better understanding of what they have learned by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information they have got to other students.

Asking questions helps to make out what we didn?t know. Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They always ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.

Why is clean water so important to developing countries? A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation(卫生) conditions. In those countries , women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health.

Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari, a 12-year-old girl in Niger. Having access(权利) to clean water changed her life.

But she knew she was right. In protest, Hajara refused to eat dinner that night. After her father questioned Hadjara?s teacher, he understood the importance of hand-washing and his daughter?s purpose. The girl really wanted her family to live longer

Overweight is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you.

More TV means fat

Nearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day—that adds up to 44 years a year of sitting. More TV (or more Internet surfing, or more computer games) means more fat.
