8. Study Skills—Similarities and Differences
I know that everyone has different study habits and study skills to learn.
And we also have some similar basic study skills. Those basic study skills
work for almost all of us. For example, when studying, we should try to
focus on just doing one thing-study instead of watching TV, listening to
music or talking on the phone at the same time. It’s not efficient to do
more than one thing at the same time.
