How Can You Become a Successful Learner？
Everyone is born with the ability to learn.But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits.Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.
Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something，your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time.Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting.For example，if they need to learn English and they like music or sports，they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English.This way they will not get bored.
Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more.Remember， "Use it or lose it. " Even if you learn something well，you will forget it unless you use it. "Practice makes perfect." Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned，and they are not afraid of making mistakes.Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight.He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard.Good learners know the best way they can study.For example，they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps.They also look for ways to review what they have learned.They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class.They even ask each other and try to find out the answers.Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new.Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you，so learn wisely and learn well.

It's very popular to travel in modern life.As travelers，we should try our best to protect the environment.Here is some advice on how to be a green traveler.
◆Make smarter flight choices
Air travel is not an environmentally﹣friendly way to travel because it uses a lot of energy.If you must fly，be sure to pack light to cut down the plane's load.And try to book a non﹣stop fight （预订直达航班）.Connecting fights （转机航班） usually require longer periods of lying and planes will use more energy.
◆Respect （尊重） natural environment
Marked hiking tails （有指示标识的游览步道） are there usually to protect the natural environment and keep wild plants safe.In beach areas，don't use products that are harmful to the sea water and try to protect the ocean's ecosystem.
◆Support locals directly
Buying handmade products and art pieces created by local people can help hand down cultural tradition and create jobs.Food that is grown locally and things that are sold by local families are often better and cheaper，all while helping keep money in local pockets.
◆Find ways to give back
Consider the ways that you can help the local community and give back while traveling.This can be as simple as picking up litter in a park or volunteering to clean up a beach.If you're planning a trip where volunteering is your main goal，make sure you won't take jobs away from local people.

The grandfather told a friend， "Life's a cafeteria.You can get anything you want as long as you are ready to pay the price.You can even get success.But you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you.You have to get up and get it yourself."
