We all know that we should use smart study strategies(策略) for learning. __36__ The tipsbelow come from scientific studies.
Reduce Your Cell Phone Use
It should come as no surprise that spending too much time on the cell phone can affect
your grades. __37__
Studies show that there is a relationship between cell phone use, anxiety, and student
performance. Increased time on the phone seems to be linked to increased feelings of anxiety,and that leads to lower student performance.__38__ Students who spend more time on phones, in other words, tend to be less active
—which also causes a build-up of stress and anxiety.
In fact, science also shows that students who take part in aerobic exercise( 有氧活动)benefit from better long-term memory. __39__ By reducing the anxiety in your life and getting better physical shape, you’ll free up your brain to learn and remember.
Use Music and Actions
The more active you become when it comes to studying, the more you will be able to
remember the information. __40__ And singing new vocabulary helps you recall more easily, according to one study. It’s certainly worth a try!

using a keyboard to type your notes. The act of writing words out by hand enhances the comprehension of concepts.
