如何成为好的学习者作文英语句子【一】

写在开头
与这本书相遇的契机
之前在B站学习各种Up主的学习方法分享的时候，有幸认识了一名B站的UP主，名字叫ElenaLin_青青。在她的一期读书推荐视频中她提到了影响她人生的几本书。《How to Become a Straight-A Student》就是她极力推荐的一本书。
作者介绍
作者（美）卡尔-纽波特是一位在美国大学就读的优等生，在就读大学期间，对如何成为优等生产生了疑问。通过自我总结以及对一些优等生的询问，了解到大部分的优等生有相通的一些学习方法和理念。然后作者开展了更大范围的调查，涉及多个美国著名名校的学生，最终整理成书.
本书的核心观点是：
成为优等生不应该一味的机械性重复痛苦的学习，应该使用有效的学习方法，让考试以及论文编写从一件令人生畏的事情变成可以实现的行动
读这本书你可以学到什么？
每日5‘时间管理方法
有目的的记课堂笔记
轻松得应对阅读作业
高效准备考试的方法
书写深刻的分析论文
进行彻底的研究分析
书写出众的学期论文
这本书的大致内容是？
整书框架分3大章节，包括学习基础，考试应对，论文编写。
作者介绍自己调查总结的美国各高校优等生的学习方法。所以本书是由一名现实版大学学霸编写和总结的各大名校学霸学习经验分享，贴近学生的实际情况。

学习基础Study basic
本章节初，作者举例了一些错误的学习方法，例如假装很努力的在图书馆待上一天（连续学习12小时）。同时也提出自己的核心观点：学习应使用有效的方法。选对了方法那是事半功倍，不然就是事倍功半了。
那么学霸们是怎么学习的呢？简单三步
Step 1:每日5‘管理你的时间Management Your Time in Five Minutes a Day
5‘管理法将平时日常的工作计划精简，运用及其简单的系统管理自己的一天。
通过5分钟的整理，确认自己一天的行程，并安排自己在不同时间段大致的活动和所需的预计时长。
这样做的好处是可以避免笔记重复查看你的工作清单-To Do list，减少To Do List给自己带来的压力，提高自己的集中力。
注意点：
这5‘不是简单的复制粘贴你的总工作清单的一部分到今天的工作清单中。一定要有具体的时间段。
估计的时长要合理，例如考虑自身的状态以及任务之间的休息和空间移动。
计划一定会受到外界的影响，因为你无法完全预测所有将要发生的事情。但是你会对自己的任务管理系统充满信心，因为它会帮助你进行管理，而不是你的大脑。
Step 2:向拖延症发起挑战Declare War on Procrastination
注意这部分的标题，英文原文是Declare War on Procrastination。发起挑战的意思是首先要直面自己的拖延症。
首先需要认可自己是有拖延症的人。在现代社会，人多多少少在某些方面有些拖延症，因为害怕/讨厌某些事情，而选择逃避。
作者提供了一些小方法，包括进度跟踪表，多喝水（大脑工作需要水），管理咖啡因摄入，增加仪式感，分享任务目标，记得休息等等。
Step 3:选择合适的时间地点以及确定多久Choose When, Where and Hong Long
中国人讲究天时地利人和，高效的学习和工作也讲究。
讲到时间，作者认为事情越早完成越好。这不是指我们要一股脑把事情堆在前面做完，这样反而违背了第一步的合理管理时间的思路。而是指，通常所认为的晚上/周末一定有时间好好做，其实都是事与愿违。
作者推荐了个小方法，就是把自己想要读的书随身携带。但是你总不能怀里揣着本高等数学走来走去吧。就现在的我们而言，手机其实是非常方便的工具。但是手机带给我们的分心的影响实在太大，使用ipad mini或者Kindle类似的产品不妨事。我这本书正是我用ipad mini 2在路上和休息之余读完的。
学习的地点也非常讲究，需要尽可能避免受到外界的影响。所以家里有娃的同学，总会感受到被不停打扰效率低下的情况。可以选择图书馆，或者与孩子约定陪他30‘，然后自己看书30’他自己玩的方式给自己创造不被打扰的时间。
那学习到底多久呢？作者的建议是每小时休息一会。其实已经有很多研究表明人的集中力很难持续很久的时间，所以每小时给自己倒杯水，放松下眼睛和腰背，也是不错的。
个人感悟
读书讲就效率，而不是时间。在为自己设定学习任务目标时千万不要定那种我要学习8小时，而应该是设定学习多少内容，学完我就能打游戏的那种。有明确目标和奖励刺激，就不会拖延。
这个概念也可以引申到工作中。制定明确目标和自我奖励，让工作能像做游戏任务那样爽。
考试应对Quzi and Exam
开头作者同样以常见的错误起头，例如非常常见的单纯重复阅读课堂笔记或者老师的课件。提出自己该部分的核心观点：if you’re studying hard, then you’ve done something wrong.如果你拼命读书，那一定有什么地方错了。也就是我们常说的.不能死读书。
那怎么把书读活呢？一共6步。
Step 1学霸笔记法Take Smart Note
作者总结了各种小技巧，例如打字记笔记，公式和计算步骤要写的清晰，使用笔记模板（例如康奈尔笔记法），使用项目符号，符号和缩写，图像化笔记。
在记笔记的过程中不要试图一股脑的把老师说的都记录下来，要经过自己的大脑将核心要点转化为自己的理解。如果在课程中无法及时理解消化，那么记得使用符号来提示自己在课间休息（早点消化），当天晚上或者固定某一天进行个人总结和整理。
另外作者也强调了提问的重要性，遇到的问题及时提问请教老师或者进行标记。并及时向老师和同学提问，不然后续回忆自己的为什么问题都会非常困难.
个人理解就是学霸与普通学生的笔记方法的核心差别就是主动与被动。普通学生
Step 2简化你的作业Demote your Assignment
将作业/任务平铺在不同的天中，不要指望自己在截止日期的前一天把事情搞定。
过程中不要通读所有东西，要有目的性的阅读材料。
记得找你的老师和同学请教和讨论相关的问题。
Step 3编制自己的资料Marshal Your Resource
首先应明确考试的范围，也就是我们所知的考纲。然后在学习过程中可以使用学习目录在确认自己对于不同知识点的掌握情况，查遗补缺。
使用一些记忆辅助类的工具帮助自己记忆各种知识点，例如记忆卡片flash card，问题库，错题本等等。
将整理资料的任务与学习资料的任务分开，这样可以更加快速和有效的集中整理。
Step 4征服你的材料Conquer the Material
使用提问-回忆的主动回忆模式代替机械性的查看自己的课堂笔记。主动回忆较被动回忆会更加有效。
想要将知识变成长期记忆，一定不是一蹴而就的过程，需要你利用各种碎片化时间进行持续不断的记忆-回忆-再记忆过程。
同时这些过程不应只在自己的脑袋里实现，而要使用笔或者说出来的方式。因为唯有输出，才能真正证明你已经理解了概念。
Step 5避免意外事件Invest in “Academic Disaster Insurance”
这里就需要运用之前步骤过程中使用到的符号标记系统。
在学习过程中我们总会遇到或多或少的问题，自己无法理解和解决，那么通过使用简单的？标记自己的困惑点就可以帮助我们查遗补缺.
Step 6交出满意答卷Provide “A+“ Answer
当你准备就绪参加考试的时候也用使用合理的考试策略来做题.
快速浏览整份试卷，了解自己后续答题的时间安排，从简单到困难，答题前准备答题框架思路，而不是直接开，最后记得给坚持留有时间。
个人感悟
应对考试是一个日积月累的过程，通过每天，每周的一点点累积和准备，最终到达满意的目标。其实工作也是如此，每天一点点的积累成长，相信最后会成就自己的飞跃。
论文写作 Essays and Papers
作者提出论文写作是一件非常难的事情，没有捷径可循。但是，有方法可以使论文写作过程更加高效且不那么痛苦。关键在于将整个论文写作过程分解到多个步骤。The key to effective paper writing is breaking down the task into manageable units.
具体的步骤可以分解为以下7个步骤
Step 1:选择感兴趣的话题Target a Titillating Topic
感兴趣的话题寻找应尽早开始。通常日常学习，工作，读书各方面累积自己感兴趣的话题。现在可以简单的使用手机记录自己的兴趣话题或者闪光点，用于后续的论文方向。
另外的一种，你可以找你的教授或者同学讨论，有些时候他们也可能有一些有兴趣的话题，让你心头一动。
Step 2:搜寻目标材料Conduct a Thesis-Hunting Expedition
这步就是大家平时常用的搜索方法，去学校的各种论文平台搜索，使用各种关键词，这样依旧会得到各种你所感兴趣的论文文章。
千万别立即开始阅读整理论文，等发现信息不足之后再返回来寻找。合适的方式是快速查看论文的摘要部分，确认是否与自己的目标话题相关，然后标记相关程度。接着查看论文的参考部分，可以用于继续搜寻论文库。
除了自行搜索论文资料外，也可以咨询导师看他有那方面资料的推荐。
Step 3:寻求其他意见Seek a Second Opinion
应该养成与自己导师定期讨论的习惯，与老师讨论自己准备查阅的资料，大致的研究思路，是太复杂了还是太简单了。
Step 4:像一台机器一样研究Research like a Machine
这步就如标题所：往死里肝。最后建议打印你所寻找的所有资料，然后分门别类装订和进行笔记。直至你满意为止。
当然我们也可以用一些app帮忙，例如一款叫错MarginNote的软件，可以帮助你系统整理资料和笔记。
Step 5:构造一个强大的的故事Craft a Powerful Story
不要一开始论文写作就期望自己今天能够写上10000字，也不要指望自己在最后一周能把整个论文给熬出来。很多时候没有灵感是我们毫无办法的事情。
第一步应该搭建自己的论文框架，在正式写之前，我们就应该在脑子里有自己论文的整体框架的大致内容。就像好的电影在开拍时就已经在导演脑袋里了，后面两年只不过是把导演脑袋里的画面拍出来而已。
一个非常有效的工具方法就是思维导图，可以使用各种思维导图app（例如幕布）帮助我们结构化的梳理自己脑袋你的框架。后面在正式编写时自然后水到渠成。
Step 6:寻求专业帮助Consult Your Expert Panel
积极与你的导师沟通，让其了解你的过程，寻求专业的帮助。
也可以寻求相关方面非常擅长的同学，寻求他们的知识和经验分享。
Step 7:拒绝痛苦写作 Write Without the Agony
把整理，写作，编辑步骤分开。就像前几章说的论文写作不是一蹴而就的事情，我们的目标是将整个过程分解到小步骤，降低整个过程的艰难感觉。
就像学习一样，论文写作写需要考虑天时地利人和。选择自己最具创造力的时候。
根据之前搭建的框架，循序渐进的完成整篇文章。
Step 8:编辑但是别过头Fix, Don’t Fixate
不要在编辑过程花费太多的时间。简单三次，即可结束。
确认论点描述是否清楚，前后逻辑是否通畅，避免重复。
大声读出你的论文，长论文可以多次分段读。默读和朗读使用的五感不同，所以可以通过读+听相结合的方式让自己发现论文中的错误点。
最后完整打印出来通篇检查论文的脉络。
个人感悟
寻找感兴趣的话题，就像遇上一见钟情的人一样。是那种让你觉得脑袋里有灵感点被碰触到的感觉。如果有以上的话，赶紧使用你的手机或者日常笔记本记录下来，别指望你的脑袋，很多时候灵感稍纵即逝。
论文写作的整个过程可以用项目管理的思路进行拆解，为自己设置不同阶段的任务和目标，从而使整个过程更加的平滑，最终达到预期的成果。
共鸣句摘录
真正的学霸就应该是那些使劲学习，使劲工作，使劲玩和好好休息的人
If you’re studying hard, then you’ve done something wrong.
All the people I ever admired and respected led balanced lives—studying hard, partying hard, as well as being involved in activities and getting a decent amount of sleep each night.
Work hard, play hard.
The real challenge is marshaling the motivation to actually do the work once it’s scheduled.
论文写作最重要的部分是思考，而思考就是将你脑子里的知识点，让他们在你脑内发生奇妙的化学反应，输出属于你的自己的产品。
Make connections is that other people haven’t made, and the only way to do that is to think.
如何成为好的学习者作文英语句子【二】
按要求改写句子知识点梳理
一、概述
按要求改写句子主要考查学生对句子结构的掌握以及用不同句型表达同一意思的能力。考查所涉及到的句子类型有一般疑问句、否定句、反意疑问句、选择疑问句、对划线部分提问、感叹句、保持原句意思、合并成一句、简单句和复合句之间的互换以及改为被动语态等。
二、解题时需注意的几个要点
1、时态：不同的时态相对应的助动词
一般现在时：谓语动词用原形（主语为第三人称单数时，动词加s或es，变否定句、疑问句时助动词为do或does）
一般过去时：谓语动词用过去式，变否定句、疑问句时助动词为did.
现在完成时：助动词have/has+动词的过去分词
过去完成时：助动词had+动词的过去分词
一般将来时：will/be going to +动词原形
过去将来时：would/was or were going to +动词原形
现在进行时：am/is/are＋动词的现在分词
过去进行时：was/were＋动词的现在分词
2、语态：主动语态变为被动语态的谓语结构
一般现在时：am/is/are＋动词的过去分词
一般过去时：was/were+动词的过去分词
一般将来时：will be+动词的过去分词
情态动词：can/may/must/need等情态动词＋be++动词的过去分词
3、改反意疑问句时注意hardly, never, seldom, few, little, no等词表达的是否定意义，变反意疑问句时用肯定形式。
4、在合并句子时，有些连词如not only…but also…, neither…nor…, either…or…是就近原则，连接两个主语时动词形式取决于与动词邻近的主语。而both…and…连接两个主语时,主语是复数。
5、简单句和复合句之间的互换常见的有：带有疑问词的宾语从句改为特殊疑问词＋to＋动词原形的不定式；结果状语从句so…that…改为enough to或too…to…的简单句。
6、保持原句意思改写句子时注意时态不变。
