Thanks for coming back for the rest of today's lesson.
Now we have a lesson called "Study Smart" today.
And one thing that we have learned already is that you should not cram before an
exam.
You will not remember what you studied that way.
That's right.
And one other thing you can do is give yourself a reward after you study for a
while.
You can do something fun after you read your book for school.
Let's see what else you can do in Conversation C.
And I choose a quiet place to study.
Then I turn off my cellphone.
Good idea.
Then you're not interrupting your studies to text your friends!
Yes. And believe it or not, sleeping is part of studying.
Really!
Yes! When you sleep, your brain organizes what you've learned.
I try to sleep at least eight hours a night.
That's a good habit for everyone!
(Music).
Sara's first three tips are very useful.
First, don't put off studying.
Do a little bit every day.
And plan rewards into your study time, that will help you keep going.
That's right.
So another thing that she says is good to do is to choose a quiet place to study
and turn off your cellphone.
That is a very good idea.
If you study somewhere quiet, you can study well.
Nothing will bother you.
And if your cellphone is not on, no one will call you.
Yeah.
And you won't be able to text your friends.
Sometimes it's good to turn off your phone for a while.
It's hard to study when we are often interrupted.
Oh, yes, that's true.
Now Sara says something interesting.
Sleeping is part of studying.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Well, maybe that's why she also says, "believe it or not," that's something you
can say if you say something a little crazy.
Now Christina will tell you more about the phrase "believe it or not" right now.
(Chinese).
(Music).
So when you sleep, your brain organizes what you have learned.
Your brain never stops working.
Studying right before you sleep is also good.
And sleeping enough is important.
If you don't sleep enough, you won't remember what you have studied.
Yes.
When students cram for tests, they stay up really late studying.
Then they are too tired for the test.
And it's easy to forget the information that you learned.
So make sure that you sleep enough.
Try to get eight hours of sleep a night like Sara.
Some people need more.
Others do not need as much.
But get as much as you need.
OK, friends, it's the part of our show for reviewing today's key words.
Say them with us.
Here's the first one.

Right now we're going to review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk.
Do you want to learn how to be a better student?
Well, then listen carefully to our guest today.
Please help me welcome Ms. Sara Student!
(Background Noise).
Welcome to our show, Sara!
We're glad to have a student here to talk about studying.
Thank you, Rob.
What tips do you have for us about studying?
Don't put off studying!
Many students do.
Then they cram the night before the exam.
I used to do that.
And how did you do?
Not very well.
And I soon forgot most of what I studied.
That's the problem!
So students need better study habits.
Yes, we do.
I try to spend time every day studying each class's information.
Then I'm better prepared for the tests.
And you actually learn more.
I do.
I also plan rewards into my study time.
What do you mean?
I tell myself things like, I'll read 20 pages of this book.
When I finish, I can play one computer game.
But only one!
And I choose a quiet place to study.
Then I turn off my cellphone.
Good idea.
Then you're not interrupting your studies to text to your friends!
Yes.
And believe it or not, sleeping is part of studying.
Really!
Yes! When your sleep, your brain organizes what you've learned.
I try to sleep at least eight hours a night.
That's a good habit for everyone!
(Music).
Hi, Ginger, what are you doing now?
I'm studying for a big test.
Really! It looks like you're texting.
Oh. Well, I'm almost studying for a big test.
Well, Ginger, don't put off studying.
Why not?
I don't like studying.
Well, you should study a little every day.
Every day!
Yeah. And then you'll be prepared.
I don't want to be prepared.
Yes, you do.
Now give yourself a reward.
A reward?
OK. Can I have a banana?
Sure.
Later!
After you study.
And you should study in a quiet place.
Well, this was a quiet place.
Then you started talking.
And one more thing, sleep is very important, Ginger.
Sleep!
Mmhm.
Good...
Uh, Ginger, wake up.
Ginger, you have to study first and then sleep later.
Ginger!
Ginger!
Time to wake up.
Timmy, Timmy.
Are you OK?
Oh. Hi, Ms. Fields, I think I'll be OK.
You're crying.
What's wrong?
It's because my pet...
My pet died.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
He was a good pet, too.
He was nice and friendly.
He listened to me.
He was my best friend.
I understand.
I had a pet that died a long time ago.
You know, when the pet dies, death is...
Life isn't always easy when...
When you mean... ugh...
I need Super Sentence Man.
And Super Sentence Man is never too far away.
The super sentence you need is:
Dying is part of life.
Dying is part of life.
Great! So the sentence is: Something is part of or are part of something else.
Now can you give me today's super sentence in another way?
OK.
Vegetables are part of a good diet.
Vegetables are part of a good diet.
Yes, they are.
What about you, Timmy?
Timmy, cheer up.
Maybe you can give me a super sentence.
OK, Super Sentence Man.
How about... um...
Swimming is part of my daily exercise.
Swimming is part of my daily exercise.
That's great.
And that was a super sentence.
Ms. Fields, what super sentence did you need to say to Timmy?
Timmy, dying is a part of life.
Super! Always remember... Say it with me.
A super sentence every day will make your English great.
Yeah.
So, Timmy, what kind of pet did you have?
What was his name?
Well, his name was Crawler.
And he was the best cockroach in the world.
Your pet was a cockroach?
Yeah. You want to see?
Timmy, Timmy, how could you!
Oh, my goodness!
So, how do you feel, everyone?
Are you ready to start studying smart and become an even better student?
Remember that there are a lot of things you can do to be a great student.
Study a little bit every day.
We tell you to study English for ten minutes every day.
Yes. If you do that, you won't forget things so quickly.
And don't cram for exams.
That never helps.
That's right.
And try to make studying fun.
You can give yourself a reward.
And that way, you will want to keep studying and you won't put it off.
Well, I think that's all the time that we have for today.
But there's a review show tomorrow, we hope you join us.
Next time, right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
