Study tips for the summer!

周间主题: Developing independent study skills before summer vacation: Tips for building study habits

Hannah N

During the summer holidays when people have more free time, I think it's easier to study! You don't have to focus on work, so you feel less tired and can concentrate on yourself. I remember when I was a univeristy student, I would always feel too tired during term-time to study, but I enjoyed studying during the holidays! If you have children you might have less time to study at home, but check out my tips below! :)

I think it's best to make studying a habit by incorporating it into your daily life. For example, you can listen to an English audio book or podcast while cooking, eating or cleaning your home. These are all things most people have to do often, so it's a good idea to use the time as productively as possible and study alongside doing household chores. This will also help you improve your language skills quickly, because it's best to practise a language every day, even 10 minutes a day can make a positive difference. Many students think they have to sit down and study for one hour, but I believe listening to English while hoovering the floor or cooking breakfast can be just as beneficial if you do it daily, and perhaps more fun!

Another tip is to read as much as possible in English or your target language. You can try reading the news, a book, recipes, magazines, or even movie subtitles. I love putting on subtitles in Chinese or French (the languages I study) whenever I watch a Netflix drama or movie. You can learn something while relaxing at the same time! Reading is a great way to improve vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. If you read story books, your English will also become very natural.

I recommend reading children's books, even as adults! Children's books are a fun way to study. If you are interested in reading more stories, check out my "Roald Dahl reading lesson". We read Roald Dahl's stories together and also practise speaking and listening as I will ask you questions and talk about the book while we read. 

Thank you for reading! See you in class :D
