"If you don't give up at the critical moment, despair will become hope."

Change for success

Learning: Probably every student preparing for the college entrance examination will go through such a stage, that is, for a continuous period of time, he feels that his learning enthusiasm is not high, his efficiency is not high, and his grades are stagnant or even declining. I don't know if everyone here has the same situation.

Xiao Huan: I've had this situation before. As for the time of communication in autumn and winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the mood seems to be unconsciously depressed with the change of the weather. The days began to get messy, and the plan I wrote was never completed. I am always upset when I pick up a book, and I am at a loss when I do those topics that are not difficult. I am always distracted in class: in short, the pace of life and study is completely disrupted.

When the results of the initial test came out, I began to panic when I couldn't find the ranking table with my name at a glance. When I really reached the second test, I had reached the real bottom, and the dark clouds of disappointment and gloom filled my sky. I began to lose sight of the direction and the future, and felt that the future was dark. I even began to doubt my efforts and began to worry about whether I had enough courage to fail in the college entrance examination. Zhang Jun: Actually, if such a situation really happens, the first thing to do is to make a summary. Usually by the end of the year, whether you are a good student or a reflective student, you should make a phased summary of your study before the year. At this time, you will find that there are many problems in your learning methods, including thinking mode, time arrangement and mentality adjustment. This is usually imperceptible.

Of course, the next and most important step is to solve them one by one, often using the original habits. Change is a rather painful process. If we compare our scheme with the results, we will find that the final realization degree is not very ideal. However, as far as I know, some students have done well. I think some ways can be used for reference, such as establishing a one-on-one tutoring relationship with teachers. If you have any questions, talk to the teacher and consider their suggestions. This method is very practical and targeted. If you find it difficult to implement, you can also set up a study group or something, or even two people sitting at the same table will be enough to facilitate direct communication and correction. In fact, the main purpose is to urge and encourage each other and enhance the effectiveness.

It should be pointed out that no matter whether detailed steps are worked out or not, they may not be completed perfectly in the end, so we must not be eager for quick success. The whole college entrance examination review stage basically emphasizes that "doing a little is a little". It is an unavoidable task to completely smash the inappropriate methods of the past. Imagination is generally challenging. As for whether to do it or not, you have the right to decide. There is no way, and no one can decide for you. Time is limited, you have to make great efforts to be efficient, but only if you distinguish which practices are scientific and which ideas are problematic, communicate with the teacher, carefully evaluate the risk of conversion, and don't blindly and rashly modify the experience. Galen: I also agree that change should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Some students get very good grades and find their own learning methods, so what he has to do in the new year is to continue slowly and steadily and follow the established route. Although we say "the atmosphere of Chinese New Year", some good things must be kept. Especially now, it is only half a year before the college entrance examination, so it may not be worth the candle to make a big change in the learning method rashly.

However, for the students who didn't find the state in the last semester of senior three, the urgent task is to "change". There used to be a boy in our class who studied hard, but his grades were always average. His problem is that "the Force doesn't need a blade". He is used to staying up late to extend his study time, but the direct consequence of staying up late is that he has been sleeping when he should be attending classes and can't concentrate. I strongly object to staying up late. "Burning the midnight oil" itself is a kind of "inefficient" performance: why do you put off what others can do during the day until evening? So on this day, students can have a good check to see if they have some bad habits that affect their normal study. Although hard work is worth promoting, hard work does not mean simply extending the study time. In my opinion, high-quality and efficient study is the real effort.

Learning: With the extension of review time and the increase of review difficulty, I feel that the knowledge I have learned is becoming more and more chaotic, the learning efficiency is greatly reduced, and I even feel a sense of stagnation and retrogression. In fact, this is the well-known "plateau phenomenon". After listening to the words of three witnesses, I think everyone should know that altitude sickness is actually the normal state of preparing for the exam in senior three. What you are experiencing now is exactly what these experienced people have experienced, except that they did not escape, but "faced the bleak life" and became "real warriors". The key to the problem is how to deal with altitude sickness. In Lao Sha's words, "To change or not to change is a question."

Success begins with persistence.

It's getting closer and closer to the exam, but with the review, I find that I don't know anything! I don't know what I did in my previous review. Few people can do the right questions, so I don't want to continue reading them for the time being ... I don't know the words after reading them, and the questions are not done correctly. Alas, this is my best English ... I have been in a bad state these days, and I want to give up ... Maybe I don't have a chance to go to college ...-Letter from readers of Reading.

Study: I wonder if you have seen a movie called Chasing Happyness? It tells such a story. Gardner is a clever salesman. He is diligent and willing to work hard, but he can never give his family a good life. After all, his wife left Gardner because she couldn't bear the pressure of bringing home the bacon, leaving him alone and her five-year-old son. His career failed and he became a single father. Gardner's bank account even has only 2 1 yuan left. He and his son were kicked out of the apartment because they had no money to pay the rent. They are homeless at night and sleep in shelters, subway stations, public bathrooms and other open spaces where they can temporarily live; If you have no money to eat during the day, you will line up for relief and eat food that is barely wrapped in your stomach. For the sake of his son's happiness, Gardner gritted his teeth, pulled himself together, knocked on the door everywhere to find opportunities, and volunteered to work in a securities company, starting with the lowest-level employees. Finally, God rewards diligence, and he finally became a well-known financial investor. In fact, in this process, the reason for Gardner's persistence, in addition to his son, is a firm belief: as long as you work hard enough today, happiness will come tomorrow.

Xiao Huan: Yes, to paraphrase Premier Wen, faith is more precious than gold in the face of difficulties. For senior three candidates, in the high-intensity review state of senior three, if there is no firm belief, many people will not persist. For myself, it is my dreams and responsibilities that make me persevere so bravely. The eternal dream in my heart will always guide me forward; And my responsibilities to my family and myself make me afraid to give up easily.

About a month before the college entrance examination, I suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. I don't know why, I have a confused feeling-sitting in a stuffy and crowded classroom, leafing through books aimlessly. All the knowledge is so messy and complicated, there seems to be more and more things I don't understand, but as time goes by, I seem to have returned to my previous numbness. But in that day's diary, I scolded myself severely, and then told myself that I must not give up at the last minute, and I must persist ... The next days were very calm, and this calm continued until the college entrance examination.

On the day of the comprehensive examination, the rain just stopped and even the air was still wet. As soon as I walked out of the examination room, the class teacher asked, how do you feel? I calmly replied, I don't know, something like that. The normally unsmiling class teacher smiled. Until today, I still firmly believe that as long as you work hard, there will be hope! Zhang Jun: You know, in this highly sensitive period, candidates will be more likely to deny themselves, and I often say things like giving up. It is not surprising that these things almost fill our daily lives. Because no one really did it. Before the exam, everyone seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so we have to vent a few words, so the school will hold class meetings, symposiums and mobilization meetings ... Therefore, we can show our full confidence and ambition again. I think it's because the review process is so boring that we have to make some noise. This is probably the reason why several students complain that it can resonate and make people awake.

Just like long-distance running, there are other ways to keep fit besides setting short-term goals. I remember that the head teacher often worried that people would be full of enthusiasm when they first came, and in the end their spirit would be less and less, but I was an exception. Many times I am very calm about things. Fortunately, the college entrance examination is "many times". I don't know why at first, so I won't be very enthusiastic. Just an attitude of trying. After I have learned almost everything, I will gradually develop some passion, not to mention being killed. Running at a constant speed like this, sprinting to a certain place, and finally just running mechanically, there is no need to persist and give up. Therefore, adjusting the temperature of the mood is very helpful to adhere to the ideal state.

Galen: Actually, it's very interesting. The words I used to motivate myself in senior three were picked from the lines of an idol drama. I don't know if you've seen it. It's called "The Prince Becomes a Frog", which was quite popular at that time. At that time, the hero and heroine fell into a cave at the same time The heroine thought she couldn't get out, and the hero said to her, "If you don't give up at the critical moment, despair will become hope." The heroine asked, "When is the critical moment?" The hero said, "Every moment you want to give up is a critical moment." In fact, the college entrance examination review is also like this. No one can guarantee that his grades will be stable forever. There will always be times when things go wrong, and there will always be times when people are not satisfied. They often hold on a little longer, and the curtain of dawn may be lifted.

I am also quite touched by the word "persistence" myself. After all, in the next semester of senior three, my grades hovered at a low ebb for nearly two months. How can I put it? Persistence is not necessarily a painful process. For example, I am used to getting up at 6: 30 and going to bed at 24: 00 every day. In fact, you can see from my schedule that I am not the kind of person who studies very hard, so it is not a painful thing for me to work and rest according to this schedule every day. Similarly, if it is a habit to do questions and endorse, then this persistence is only natural.

When I was in senior three, I really felt happy to acquire knowledge. When you finally understand a geological map, when you finally know a railway line by heart, and when you can retell a historical event smoothly, you will really feel that this knowledge has become your own. It's a wonderful feeling-you really feel that you are making progress. Although this improvement may not be immediately reflected in the results.
