Hello everyone, and welcome to Manchester Voices.

大家好，歡迎來到曼徹斯特之聲。

My name is Maddy, and I am a second year drama and film student, and my fun fact about Manchester is that The Atom was first split right here at the University of Manchester.

我叫麥迪，是戲劇和電影專業的二年級學生。關於曼徹斯特的趣事是，《原子》就是在曼徹斯特大學首次分鏡的。

I'm Grace, and I'm a pharmacology student in first year, and my fun fact is that there are over 200 languages spoken in Manchester.

我叫格蕾絲，是藥理學一年級的學生，我的趣事是曼徹斯特有 200 多種語言。

I'm a second year sociology student, and my fun fact is that Manchester has got one of the oldest libraries in the UK.

我是社會學二年級的學生，我的趣事是曼徹斯特擁有英國最古老的圖書館之一。

Today's topic is about revising, studying.

今天的主題是關於複習和學習。

I think people underestimate the power of going with somebody and revising.

我認為人們低估了與他人一起修改的力量。

I like having somebody there to just bounce off.

We don't even need to talk, but it's having somebody there with me.

我們甚至不需要交談，但有人陪在我身邊就好。

I set an hour timer, and I think, how much can I get done in this hour?

我設置了一個小時的計時器，我想，在這一個小時內我能做多少事情？

And then I keep on going and going, and by the time it's gone, four hours have already gone.

然後我繼續走啊走啊，等我走完的時候，四個小時已經過去了。

And I like to listen to music I don't always listen to.

So I dedicate an album of someone that I like, but I wouldn't really go out of my way, and I just sit and just listen to it on a low volume, because I find if I listen to music that I like, after a bit, I'll start bopping to it.

所以，我會為我喜歡的人獻上一張專輯，但我不會刻意去聽，我只是坐在那裡，用小音量聽，因為我發現如果我聽自己喜歡的音樂，過一會兒，我就會開始跳起來。

And then I'm a bit distracted, and I'm like, oh, I'm not really doing my work anymore.

然後我就有點心煩意亂，我就想，哦，我不是真的在做我的工作了。

So I think that helps me with actually getting my work out and revising and sitting down and getting the work done. 100%.

是以，我認為這對我真正完成工作、修改、坐下來完成工作很有幫助。100%.

There's also, I've seen it, and I've tried it before, but listening to either movie because those are designed to make you focus in on what you're watching or doing.

還有，我看過，我以前也試過，但聽電影都是為了讓你專注於你正在看的或正在做的事情。

Especially I think the Mario Kart soundtrack is supposed to be really good for people to just sit and study to, and I will not lie, I have tried it.

特別是我覺得《馬里奧卡丁車》的原聲音樂應該非常適合人們坐下來學習，不瞞你說，我也試過。

這是一個奇怪的方法，但確實有效。

So that's just going to throw that in there on the topic of music.

所以，關於音樂這個話題，我就不多說了。

I think, yeah, just not making it solely you sitting in your room and just doing hours and hours and hours in one go, and leaving it all to the last minute.

我認為，是的，不要讓它僅僅是你坐在自己的房間裡，一氣呵成，一做就是幾個小時，把一切都留到最後一刻。

I do it with my friends that even if we're not talking in the hour, you just look up and you have a little laugh, and then you just get back to it.

我和我的朋友們都這樣做，即使我們在一個小時內不說話，你也會抬起頭，笑一笑，然後繼續做下去。

And it's just making it not hell for you.

這隻會讓你的生活變得更糟糕。

Setting some boundaries for yourself and knowing that, oh, after this, I'm going to go to the gym, or I'm going to go out, I'm going to cook a nice meal, something like that.

為自己設定一些界限，並知道，哦，做完這些，我要去健身房，或者我要出去，我要做一頓美餐，諸如此類。

So you can look forward to something to break up your vision and things like that.

是以，你可以期待一些東西來打破你的視野，諸如此類。

And I mean, I'm not the best example of this, because I definitely, I love to cram.

我的意思是，我不是最好的例子，因為我絕對喜歡填鴨式學習。

I love doing it in a very short amount of time.

And this is, again, I think I'm very much motivated by fear of wanting to get it out, wanting to do as much as possible.

同樣，我認為我的動機很大程度上是害怕，想把它寫出來，想做得越多越好。

And I don't know about you, but I have DAS, so it's the Disability Support Service here.

我不知道你們怎麼想，但我有 DAS，也就是這裡的殘疾支持服務。

I haven't utilized those, but I And it's awesome.

我還沒有使用過，但我覺得它很棒。

The only issue is that if you do have DAS, you then, especially from the winter term, you don't have a break, which is something that I didn't realize.

唯一的問題是，如果你有 DAS，那麼，尤其是從冬季學期開始，你就沒有休息時間了，這是我沒有意識到的。

All of my essays were due in the last week, and then I had two days before the term started up again.

我所有的論文都是在最後一週交的，然後我有兩天時間等待學期再次開始。

So definitely keeping that discipline of having a schedule and then having to follow it, I think is one of the things that work best for me.

是以，我認為保持這種有計劃、按計劃行事的紀律對我來說是最有效的方法之一。

Even though it is very hard, I just have to continue to force myself to sit down and work.

儘管這很難，但我必須繼續強迫自己坐下來工作。

If I finish writing a page, I'm like, great, I can have some chocolate now.

如果我寫完一頁，我就會想，太好了，我現在可以吃點巧克力了。

Yeah, I think that's generally kind of how I work.

是的，我想這就是我的工作方式。

Well, I have ADHD, which, you know, I think is a superpower, but it also is awful.

我有多動症，我覺得這是一種超能力，但也很糟糕。

Because you don't have that like the motivation center in your brain.

因為你的大腦中沒有像動力中樞那樣的東西。

So it takes a while for me to start revising or doing anything.

是以，我需要一段時間才能開始修改或做任何事情。

So I think kind of the biggest thing is just have you have to have discipline.

是以，我認為最大的問題是你必須遵守紀律。

And I think that's for any student, you do just have to have a lot of discipline of getting up and going and doing things.

我認為，對於任何學生來說，你都必須要有起床和做事的紀律。

但我認為，這可能是一件非常困難的事情。

So I always just try and motivate myself in external factors.

是以，我總是嘗試從外部因素來激勵自己。

如果我這樣做了，我就能取得好成績。

I'll buy myself a little snack after studying.

學習之餘，我會給自己買點零食。

So I kind of find that if I motivate myself with other people as well, so like my flatmates, sometimes even if we're at home, we would like FaceTime and do FaceTime studies so that we're both on our phone and we can hold each other accountable for doing the work for a certain amount of time, like an hour or something like that.

所以我發現，如果我和其他人一起激勵自己，比如我的室友，有時即使我們在家裡，我們也會通過 FaceTime 學習，這樣我們都在手機上，我們可以讓對方負責在一定時間內完成工作，比如一個小時或類似的時間。

Or going to the library with someone and then saying we're going to do an hour and then we can have a break or go and get a snack or something like that just so I can have specific focus time, I guess.

或者和別人一起去圖書館，然後說我們要做一個小時，然後我們可以休息一下，或者去買點零食什麼的，我想這樣我就可以有特定的專注時間了。

No, I'm similar in the sense of like, I reward myself.

不，我也有相似之處，那就是我會獎勵自己。

So if I do XYZ, I might buy myself clothes.

所以，如果我做 XYZ，我可能會給自己買衣服。

Or after this essay, I'll buy myself the jacket that I really wanted for ages.

或者寫完這篇文章後，我會給自己買一件心儀已久的夾克。

I think life can get busy for uni students and anything can happen.

我認為，大學生的生活可能會很忙，任何事情都有可能發生。

It's like you still have your personal life as much as you have to do uni.

這就像你仍然有自己的私人生活，就像你必須完成大學學業一樣。

I do like to write my to-do list and have your assessment dates and know what's coming to be organised.

我確實喜歡寫我的待辦事項清單，並有你的評估日期，知道要安排什麼。

I think that helps me a lot so I can oversee like, oh, I've got this essay during the week.

我覺得這對我幫助很大，這樣我就可以監督自己，比如，哦，這周我要寫這篇作文。

I need to buckle up and look at my notes now.

我現在需要繫好安全帶，看看我的筆記。

And I think in terms, I don't know how your programmes work, but ours are pretty like, you kind of know what's going to come up on each week.

我不知道你們的節目是如何運作的，但我們的節目很像，你知道每週會有什麼節目。

Like each week you have a test topic, essentially an essay topic.

比如每週都有一個測試題目，基本上就是一個作文題目。

So I think very early on in the semester, I'll go through and pick, this is a life hack, I pick like the week that I know I'm going to be interested in and then I make sure to go to everything and do like all the extra work for that and keep really good notes.

是以，我認為在學期初，我就會去挑選，這是一個生活小竅門，我會挑選我知道自己會感興趣的那一週，然後我確保去做所有的事情，就像做所有的額外工作一樣，並記下非常好的筆記。

So like when revising period does start, I have like really strict kind of notes already set up, which helps I think, especially with like ADHD, because doing everything in one weekend is not always the best way to do it.

是以，當複習開始時，我已經準備好了非常嚴格的複習筆記，我認為這很有幫助，尤其是對於多動症患者，因為在一個週末做完所有事情並不總是最好的方法。

And it kind of is just like that built up over time that I think professors are looking for in essays at least.

我認為，至少教授們在論文中尋找的就是這種長期積累的東西。

And what you were saying like about the body doubling of the other person there with you.

還有你剛才說的，和你在一起的另一個人的身體會加倍。

Okay, I guess in general, do you have any revision or study tips that have really benefited you guys?

好吧，我想總的來說，你們有什麼讓你們受益匪淺的複習或學習技巧嗎？

Kind of flowing into the next question is this, how do you motivate yourself, especially after maybe possibly a long semester?

下一個問題是，你如何激勵自己，尤其是在可能經歷了一個漫長的學期之後？

I think I recently started this semester because I did have my first uni exams.

我覺得我這學期才剛開學，因為我確實迎來了第一次大學考試。

After that, I was like, okay, for this one, I'm going to try and do something a bit different where I'm going to start doing a bit more work throughout the semester.

之後，我就想，好吧，這一次，我要嘗試做一些不同的事情，在整個學期中，我要開始做更多的工作。

So I don't leave it all to the last minute because I did do a bit of that.

所以，我不會把一切都留到最後一刻，因為我確實做了一些這樣的事。

So I kind of gave myself goals if I did this amount of revision and like started going to the gym and doing all of these things that would make it easier for me in the long run to revise that I would give myself a reward.

是以，我給自己定下了目標，如果我完成了一定量的複習，並且開始去健身房鍛鍊，做所有這些從長遠來看會讓我更容易複習的事情，我就會給自己獎勵。

So me and my friend were going to go out and go for brunch at these places.

於是，我和朋友打算出去，去這些地方吃早午餐。

And like if we kept meeting the milestones, so we kind of had that between each other that we were motivating each other to do.

如果我們能不斷達到里程碑，那麼我們之間就會互相激勵。
