● Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read fast or slowly.

● Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important ideas.

● Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.

● In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.

School days aren’t always the best days for many people--they can actually be stressful (有壓力的)time.

Trouble keeping up in class

If you have trouble with your schoolwork, it can be easy to fall behind. This can really affect your confidence in yourself.

The thing to remember is that everyone’s way of learning is different, and difference doesn’t have to be a problem. You’d better find out what works for you, what you like, and how people can help you out.

Overcoming difficulties

There are lots of ways to overcome(克服) learning difficulties or problems.For example, talk to your teachers about how tough you find your schoolwork is! They can help you learn and might be able to give you extra help, or encourage you to work with other people.

Talking about it.

Talk to someone you trust about how you feel. You might need to talk to someone about how it makes you feel and what’s on your mind.

Make time to talk to your parents, friends or teachers about the things that upset(使心煩) you. And maybe they can help you overcome them.

Making the school a better place to be

The school can be a really unhappy place if you meet any of these problems, but it doesn't have to be. It's a good idea to talk about your concerns with someone you trust. You may find that once you do talk about whatever’s going on, the situation improves and the school becomes a more enjoyable place.
