At last he realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. There are many things there made in China, like footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones, and even American flags. Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these daily things. However he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high –technology products that people can buy all over the world.

Today’s students have many things to learn. But many don’t know how to learn and how to learn well. Here are some suggestions for you.

Your timetable should include time for games, exercises and study materials. You should not only make a timetable, but also follow it. Play games in the afternoon, but spend early morning time on studies. Make sure you read all the class notes before you go to bed. Spend more time on difficult subjects.

Taking notes is an important part of learning. You need to take classroom notes and notes from your textbook. Go through the lesson before your teacher teaches them in the class. Write down important ideas. One word or a phrase in enough to stand for an idea.

You need to read fast and get more things from the reading materials. You should note the name of the book and its author in the reading note. Look quickly from cover to cover to recognize the important chapters（章）. Take a quick look over the chapter, find out the important points, and note them down. You had better not take notes when you read. Don’t go back to read a word or a sentence. If you don’t get the idea of the subject, you can come back to the sentence after you finish reading the chapter. Never look up new words in the dictionary during your reading time.
