Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
This lesson's learning strategy is focus. Use this learning strategy when you need to get information from listening or reading. Decide what you need to learn and pay close attention when you listen or read.
本期学习技巧是：听读时把注意力集中在想要得到的信息上面。
Here is an example of how to use focus:
In the video, Anna has some strange things in her bag. Watch the video for this lesson and focus on the name of each thing she takes out of her bag. After you watch the video, try to say or write all the things in Anna's bag. If you cannot say five things, play the video again. Write a comment in the Comments section about how using this strategy worked for you. At the end of the video, can you write or say all the things in Anna's bag?
在这段视频里，Anna包里有很多奇怪的东西。看视频时把注意力集中在这些物件的名称上。视频看完后，尝试着把她包里的所有东西都说出来，写下来。如果你答不上五件东西的话，就重新看一遍视频。
Focus is an important learning strategy because it helps you learn new information more quickly. See the Lesson Plan for this lesson for more details on using this strategy.
集中注意力可以帮助你更迅速地获取想要得到的信息。
