It is never too late to develop great study habits. If youre starting a new school year， or you just want to improve your grades and school performance， take a look at this list of good habits and start making some changes in your routine.

养成良好的学习习惯永远都不算晚。如果你刚开始新一学年的学习，或者只是想提高你的成绩和改进你在学校的表现，那么看看以下列出的好的学习习惯，并开始改变一下你的日常习惯吧。

1. Write Down Every Assignment1 记下每个作业任务

The most logical place to write down your assignments is in a planner2， but you might prefer to keep a to■do list in a simple notebook or in your cell phone note pad. It doesnt really matter what tool you use， but it is absolutely essential to your success to write down every single assignment， due date， test date， and task.

最好是在记事簿上记下你的作业任务，不过，你可能更乐意在笔记本上或者在手机记事本上记下一个简单的待办事项列表。你使用什么工具来记并不重要，但写下每一项任务、截止日期、测试日期和任务内容对于你的成功来说都是绝对必要的。

2. Remember to Bring Your Homework to School 记得把作业带到学校

It sounds simple enough， but many Fs come from students forgetting to bring a perfectly good paper to school with them. Does your homework have a home？ Is there a special place where you always put your paperwork each night？ To avoid forgetting your homework， you must establish a strong homework routine with a special homework station where you work each night. Then you must get in the habit of putting your homework where it belongs right after you finish it， whether this is in a special folder3 on your desk or in your backpack. Prepare every night before bed！

這听起来很简单，但许多不及格的情况都是由于学生忘记把自己做得非常好的作业带到学校而造成的。你的家庭作业有容身之所吗？你每晚是否有专门的地方放置你的家庭作业呢？为了避免忘记带你的作业，你必须养成一个牢固的日常作业习惯，每晚在专门的地方做作业。然后你必须养成在完成作业后把作业放在正确的地方的习惯，无论是放在你桌上特定的文件夹里还是在背包里都可以。每晚睡前做好准备！

3. Communicate With Your Teacher 和老师交流

Every successful relationship is built upon clear communication. A student■teacher rela■tionship is no different. Miscommunication4 is another one of those factors that can cause bad grades， despite good efforts on your part. At the end of the day， make sure you understand every assignment thats expected of you. The more questions you ask， the more prepared youll be.

每种成功的关系都建立在清晰的沟通的基础上。师生关系也是一样。沟通不畅则是可能导致尽管你在努力却成绩不好的因素之一。在一天结束的时候，确保你明白你要完成的每一件任务。你问的问题越多，你就准备得越好。

4. Organize With Color 用颜色进行系统化

Design your own color■coding system to keep your assignments and your thoughts organized. You may select a single color for each class （like science or history） and use that color for your folder， your highlighters， your sticky notes， and your pens. Youll be surprised to discover how much strong organization skills can change your life！

Color■coding is also a tool to use when conducting research. Assign a specific color for every topic of interest. Place a flag on a page containing information you will need to study or to cite. It works like magic！

设计自己的颜色编码系统，使你自己的作业任务和想法井井有条。……
