Entering high school means you have to make more effort on study, There are a few tried and tested skills that have always proved effective(有效的) for learning. Here are some of them.
Firstly, make a timetable and follow it. This will include how many hours and which part of the day you will spend studying. Try to make sure that your study time takes place after you have rested, so that you are fresh and can learn effectively. You will find that studying at the same time every day will help you concentrate(集中) better. It’s also important to keep improving your timetable, to make it more effective over time.
Secondly, pick a place that will help you concentrate on study. The place should be far away from loud sounds which make you uncomfortable and prevent you from concentrating on your study.
High school study skills include a method called SQ3R. The first step is to survey（纵览） what needs to be covered in order to get a general understanding of the subject. Next, you can learn about the material by answering questions such as what, why, how, when, who and where. As you study, ask yourself questions and look for the answers in your material. The third step is to read and then recite（背诵） what you have read. The last step, reviewing, is often the most important one. People need to review any material about three times, before they keep it well in their minds.
Besides these study tips, you can come up with several of your own study skills for school. However, remember that time is the most valuable thing you have. All the study skills for high school will be nothing, if you don’t use your time wisely.

It was Mary’s birthday. She got a letter from her uncle who was a farmer.
“Dear Mary,” the letter said. “Happy Birthday. I am sending you some chickens as your birthday present. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you like them. Best wishes, Uncle Toby.
Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and she liked eating chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought. When the chickens arrived the next day, they were in the box. Mary was very excited. She took the box off the back of the truck and began to carry it into her garden. However, the box of chickens was heavy and she dropped it. The box fell to the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran everywhere－into neighbors' gardens, into the road, into shops, even into the next street. Mary spent hours trying to find them and take them back to her garden.
A few days later her uncle came to visit her. “Did the chickens arrive safely?" he asked Mary. “Yes, Uncle Toby,” Mary said. “But I had a lot of trouble with them. I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. I spent the whole morning looking for them." “Did you find them all?” her uncle asked. “I hope so,” Mary replied. “I caught eleven of them.” “That's very interesting,” her uncle said with a smile, “because I only sent you six.
