It's May again. A new beginning.

Hattale decided to change his learning status. And this is something that is easier said than done.

For a long time, Hetale has been very reluctant to study. Barely finish your homework, barely dragging the class back. If you want to change all of that now, you have to make a huge change in the way you learn, in addition to your determination.

When Xiao Yanzhen was a child, he studied in a government-run library for a period of time, and studied some Confucian classics and books on the art of war. Although in terms of specific learning content, he can't help Heitale too much, but in terms of "how to learn", Xiao Yanzhen still has some experience after thinking about it several times.

"Strengths and weaknesses". Xiao Yanzhen suggested to Hei Tale.

"Weaknesses. Mathematics, English, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, and Politics are all my weaknesses. Among them, English, mathematics, and chemistry are the weakest. Hetale said with a look of shame.

"Do you still have a strong point?" Xiao Yanzhen asked helplessly.

"Language and Biology." Hetale said embarrassedly.

"Three main subjects, two weak. You're amazing! Xiao Yanzhen said sarcastically.

"Fun, learning is like practicing kung fu. You can have weaknesses, but you must never let your weaknesses become fatal weaknesses. That is, the weakness cannot be too weak. And the strength must be absolutely strong, not sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Strengths are like martial arts tricks, if they can't hurt people, then they won't be considered tricks. Xiao Yanzhen said solemnly.

"As for the weaknesses. Maybe you've been weak for a long time, or your foundation isn't strong. If you want to be strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Therefore, we have to take it step by step and break it one by one. If several weaknesses work at the same time, time and energy will not allow, so let's do them one by one first. Xiao Yanzhen said.

"English. The last thing I like to do is memorize words. Both the school teacher and the tutor taught me a lot of ways to memorize words, but I didn't use them very well. Hettal said.

"People are close but not the same. Other people's learning methods may not be fully applicable to you. You should have a learning method that suits you. From your grades, we can conclude that there must be something wrong with your past study methods. We should try new approaches. ”

"English, since it is spoken, is similar to the dialects of other places. Isn't it possible to start by listening? Make sure you understand first. And then there's talking, being able to speak. In our time, many people didn't even know a word. But we can understand, we can explain, we can communicate. I think I can put it on the last item. Let's give it a try. Xiao Yanzhen suggested.

"But I can't remember the meaning of the words." Hattale's brow furrowed.

"Sometimes we don't know much about the dialects of other places, but in the end we can guess the general meaning. I think it's better not to pick a certain word, but to start with the meaning of the whole sentence and find the key point. Xiao Yanzhen said.

After following Xiao Yanzhen's advice, Hetale got up early every day, took on his mobile phone and headphones for listening exercises while taking a horse walk, and listened repeatedly if he didn't understand until he could successfully capture every word in a sentence.

Amazingly, in less than a month, he found that he could understand the meaning of an entire paragraph in English in a row. After that, Hetale listened and parroted with him, and the results were exciting. The spelling of English words seems to be like a divine help, and even if you don't memorize it much, you can easily write it out. Even the grammar that I have never learned seems to be as difficult as it used to be. The sentences in the listening test seem to be deeply engraved in my mind.

Mathematics is a nightmare that has been a nightmare since junior high school.

"Actually, when I was in junior high school, I was still very good at algebra. The math teacher also liked me for a while. But then, when it came time to study geometry, I couldn't keep up. After I went to high school, it got worse and worse. Mathematics has also become a subject that I have a headache when I look at it. Hetale said sadly.

"The geometry you are talking about looks similar to the battle map we drew when we were out fighting. The battle map should not only draw the terrain and landform, but also write down the elevation of the terrain and make various predictions. Without drawing a battle map, without a battle plan, defeat is simply inevitable. So, in other words, the brain doesn't necessarily quite come up with what you want, and sometimes it even strikes. Therefore, plane geometry can be drawn on paper, and three-dimensional geometry can simply take the dough and pinch it, so that they are all intuitively displayed in front of your eyes. When you have such a thing in your intuitive memory, you will not be afraid when you meet again. Right? Xiao Yanzhen said.

"I do a math problem and it takes a long time. I'm doing it too slowly. He Tale said with some inferiority.

"Exclude the cause of unskillfulness. Another factor is also important – fear of difficulty. You take a long time to do a math problem, so you become more and more reluctant to do it, and your head gets big when you see a math problem, and it eventually becomes a physiological reaction. I think there are some things you can still do, but it takes a lot of effort. I'm afraid you need to accumulate a certain sense of accomplishment, a sense of accomplishment in doing the right thing. With a sense of accomplishment, you should have the motivation to continue. I really can't help with math. I think the necessary time commitment is inevitable. Xiao Yanzhen said.

With the previous improvement in English, Hetale decided to continue trying Xiao Yanzhen's suggestion. He tried his best to restrain his fear of difficulties, and began to do it slowly, one question at a time, no longer caring about how much time it would take to complete a question, but constantly mastering the idea of solving problems and cultivating his patience.

Chemistry is also a subject that Hetale is more likely to be less good at. Since junior high school, he has never failed chemistry at Hattale.

"My chemistry is really out of the sky!" Hetale said helplessly.

"Those chemical reaction equations seem more difficult to accept than math." Hetale continued.

"The chemistry you mentioned reminds me of some of our wizards and alchemists back then. They have all mastered this knowledge in the process of continuous experimentation. It's like a teacher's experiment in chemistry class. I think it wouldn't be too difficult if you could understand the teacher's experiments and grasp the mechanism, and then make a list of chemical equations. Xiao Yanzhen said.

"Chemistry, it should be at the service of everyday life. A lot of things in our daily lives are closely related to chemistry. For the boring knowledge points in books, we might as well use some common items in daily life to do experiments. For example, when white vinegar and baking soda are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs to produce carbon dioxide. If the ratio of the amount added is different, the effect of the experiment will not be the same. That's a specific chemistry problem! Apply what you've learned! Xiao Yanzhen analyzed.

"With hands-on practice, you get a lot more emotional understanding, which is much easier than just reading those jerky chemical equations in a book, right?" Xiao Yanzhen said to Heitale.

"I see. Not only chemistry, but also other disciplines. Many knowledge points can be applied in practice. For example, in geography class, it is said that the position and orientation of the moon can be used to identify the time of the first and second months of the lunar calendar. "The black tower is staggered.

Having regained his confidence, he gradually established a new pace of learning through step-by-step learning.

In the blink of an eye, it was late June, and the weather was already hot. Hetale changed the problem of being sleepy when he read a book at night, and he studied so seriously that he didn't even feel that his vest was soaked with sweat.

Seeing that her son was so devoted to his studies, his mother, He Limei, gently placed the cut fruit next to Hetale's desk and tiptoed out of the room, for fear of disturbing Hetale's study.

"Dad, our son has really grown up and knows how to work hard in his studies." He Limei said with relief to Hei Dad Hai Limin.

"This learning momentum, if you keep it, you should be holding a handle in the second exam, maybe there is still hope to hit one." Halimin said confidently.

"You're a man who doesn't speak in tune. How can you look down on our son so much? I think it's at least a provincial focus, 985, 211. He Limei glanced at Hei Limin and said.

Finally, the final exam for the second semester of the second year of high school arrived. It is also a critical moment to test the results of Hetale's efforts. Hetale was nervous and excited, and had an urge to show his strength.

After two months of hard work, Hetale has become extremely focused. In the examination room, he naturally entered a state of flow. Except for the questions on the test paper, everything else is like nothing. For the first time since entering high school, Hettal answered all the questions on the exam paper within the time specified in the exam.

Just two days before the summer vacation, the final exam results and rankings of all students in the second grade were announced on the notice board in the hall on the first floor of the sophomore teaching building. The notice board was full of people, some searching for their names from top to bottom, left to right. Some are watching the excitement and see who won the top 30 in the whole grade this time. Everyone knows very well that the top 30 in the grade almost means that the future is at least in the ranks of prestigious schools.

For the first time, Hattale saw his name in the first third of the entire results sheet. "No. 400: Hettal Le. Total score: 555 points. Among them, the English score broke through from 80 points in the midterm exam to 140 points at once. The math score was 95 from 65 points before. This is the first time since he entered high school that he has surpassed the passing score of the mathematics paper. The results of all other subjects have increased to a certain extent. Hei Tale was overjoyed, and Xiao Yanzhen was also happy for his progress.

On the last day before the summer vacation, the school held a grand award ceremony, and awarded honorary certificates and awards to the top 30 students in the first and second grades of the whole school and the most improved students in each grade.

Cao Jianbo, director of the teaching office, stood on the stage and read out the list of awards, "Next, announce the list of winners of the second year of high school. Senior 2 grade, 1st place in the whole school year: 5th class of the second year, Zhang Weiyue; No. 2: Class 1 of the second year, Li Zhijiang; 3rd place: Class 6 of the second year, Wang Li Zihan,...... No. 30: Class 8 in the second year, Yu Qingya. Winner of the Leap Award in the second year of high school: Class 8 of the second year, Hetale. He jumped from 1,030th in his class to 400th, increasing his overall score by 150 points. I hope that the students in the audience will take them as an example, study hard, continue to surpass, and make greater progress. Next, please invite the top 30 students in the second year of high school and the leap award to come to the stage to receive the award. ”

Walking on the podium, especially standing next to Yu Qingya, made Hetale excited. Standing on the stage and looking at the more than 2,000 students below, for the first time, he felt the sense of accomplishment and pride that his studies brought him.
