My first question to you is I want you to think about it.

我想問你的第一個問題是，我希望你能考慮一下。

You have a test coming up, where do you study?

馬上要考試了，你在哪裡學習？

Some people study in their bed, some might study in the library, maybe a coffee shop,

有的人在床上學習，有的人可能在圖書館學習，可能在咖啡店學習。

a classroom, or your home.

教室，或你的家。

In your opinion, what is the best way to study?

在你看來，什麼是最好的學習方法？

Okay, well, if you said your bed, for most people this is a very bad idea.

好吧，好吧，如果你說你的床， 對於大多數人來說，這是一個非常糟糕的想法。

The reason why is if you're studying in your bed with all your books and your notes, your

原因是如果你'學習在你的床上，你所有的書和你的筆記，你的。

brain, when you're in bed you start thinking about sleep.

大腦，當你'在床上的時候，你開始思考睡眠。

So if you're studying in your bed, you might become very sleepy and it might be harder

所以，如果你'在床上學習，你可能會變得很困，可能會更難。

to study.

來研究。

So, in...

所以，在...

I would not recommend this.

我不會推薦這個。

Okay? I don't think the bed is a good place to study.

好嗎？ -我不認為床是學習的好地方。我不認為床是一個學習的好地方。

What about a library?

那圖書館呢？

Some people like studying in libraries, and sometimes it's a good idea.

有些人喜歡在圖書館裡學習，有時候這是一個好主意'。

But if you're doing an English test, like where you have a speaking component, a library

但是，如果你'正在做一個英語測試，比如你有一個口語的組成部分，一個圖書館。

may or may not be a good place for you.

可能對你來說是個好地方，也可能不是。

What you really want to do is think about: Where are you taking this test?

你真正要做的是思考。你在哪裡參加這個測試？

If you're going to be in a room with many people who maybe are talking or are being

如果你'要在一個房間裡與許多人誰可能是說話或被

loud, you want to study in a similar environment.

響，你想在類似的環境中學習。

Okay?

好嗎？

So, for some people the library, you know, might be a good place.

所以，對於一些人來說，圖書館，你知道，可能是一個好地方。

For other people, maybe the library is not the best place.

對於其他人來說，也許圖書館不是最好的地方。

My point is: You want to study in a place that is just like the environment you'll be

我的觀點是。你要在一個和你所處的環境一樣的地方學習

taking the test in.

參加考試在。

So, this is a possibility.

所以，這是一種可能性。

Other people might study in coffee shops.

其他人可能會在咖啡店學習。

Now, if you're doing the IELTS or the TOEFL, this is not a bad idea because at least you're

現在，如果你'正在做雅思或託福，這不是一個壞主意，因為至少你'。

surrounded by people, you're surrounded by distractions, and on your test day you probably

周圍的人，你'被包圍的分心，並在你的測試日你可能

will have some sort of distractions around you, especially if people are doing speaking

在你周圍會有一些分心的東西，特別是當人們在做演講的時候。

tests where they're talking and you can hear them.

測試，他們在那裡說話，你可以聽到他們。

So, being around people, if you're doing a test where people will be kind of loud and

所以，在人們身邊，如果你'做一個測試，人們將是一種大聲和

distracting, a coffee shop is a good idea.

分心，咖啡店是個好主意。

But if, you know, there's no speaking component to your test, maybe you're just writing an

但是，如果，你知道，你的測試中沒有說話的成分，也許你'只是在寫一個。

essay or something like that, then maybe a classroom might actually be a better place.

作文之類的東西，那麼也許課堂其實是一個比較好的地方。

If you're in school and you can go to a place that looks like where you're taking the test,

如果你'在學校，你可以去一個看起來像你'考試的地方。

this is the best thing you can do.

這是你能做的最好的事情。

For home, I personally don't think home is the greatest place to study and I'll tell you why.

對於家，我個人認為家不是最大的學習場所，我'告訴你為什麼。

At home you have your furniture, you have your bed, you have all these distractions

在家裡，你有你的傢俱，你有你的床，你有所有這些分心。

around you, so it's easy to stop paying attention to what you're studying, and also your house

圍繞著你，所以它很容易停止關注你'學習的東西，也是你的房子。

is not like the environment you'll be taking the test in.

是不一樣的環境，你'將參加測試。

You want an environment as similar as possible to where you're actually taking the test,

你想要一個儘可能類似於你實際參加考試的環境。

so I would not recommend studying at home.

所以我不建議在家裡學習。

One thing, though, is sometimes it's good to study in multiple locations because the

不過有一點，就是有時候在多個地方學習是很好的，因

more places you study, the more memories you'll actually have of what you're studying, you'll

你學習的地方越多，你就會有更多的記憶，你的學習內容，你就會有更多的記憶。

remember: "Okay, I remember studying this at this coffee shop.

記得："好吧，我記得我是在這家咖啡店學習的。

I remember studying this at this library, and this at this classroom."

我記得我在這個圖書館學過這個，在這個教室學過這個&quot。

So that can actually help...

所以，這實際上可以幫助...

You know, the more places you study, the more memories you will have.

你知道，你學習的地方越多，你的記憶就越多。

Okay, another important thing to note is: Think about your personality.

好了，還有一個重要的事情要注意。想想你的個性

Are you an introvert?

你是一個內向的人嗎？

This means: Are you a quiet person who kind of prefers to be alone most of the time, where

You know, going to the library and studying, if you're an extrovert, this might be a bad idea.

你知道，去圖書館學習，如果你'是個外向型的人，這可能是個壞主意。

And it's the same with study groups.

而學習小組也是一樣的。

If you like being with people, a study group is a great way in order to learn the information

如果你喜歡和人在一起，學習小組是一個很好的方式，為了學習資訊，你可以在小組中學習。

and to find out maybe things you don't know so well, because during a study group everybody's

並找出可能的東西 你不知道那麼好，因為在學習小組期間 每個人都'的

asking each other questions, so you start to think about things maybe you're unfamiliar

with, you don't know as well as other people.

Okay?

Okay?

很多人，他們不想學習，覺得很枯燥，所以他們

go, they sit there, and they're so bored, and yet they just keep reading the material
