As a student, one of the most important things you need to learn how to do is to study effectively You might spend hours reading your notes or staring at diagrams, but these methods usually only brings information into your short-term memory and you will likely forget things you learn days later If you are
facing this problem, try to use a technique called spaced repetition So how does it work?
First of all, you need to understand that your brain is not designed to store and recall large amounts of information in a short amount of time Instead, it prioritizes what it thinks is important And exposing your brain to the same information repeatedly is the best way to tell your brain something is important Not only that, you are far more likely to remember something long-term if you’re re-exposed to it after a period of time
Spaced repetition takes advantage of these two important tools by ranking what information is easiest and hardest to remember, and then reintroducing it again and again at different time periods These periods are determined by how difficult to remember the bit of information is to the user For example, when you try to memorize a difficult word in a foreign language, you can look at it again and again every 15 minutes to remember it Meanwhile, for an easier word, you can allow yourself to review it every 30 minutes, every hour, or even every 24 hours
The best times to use spaced repetition are when you need to memorize and then recall large
amounts of knowledge or commit what you learned into your permanent memory Learning a language is
a good example of this – applying spaced repetition to vocabulary learning will not only help you ace your tests, but also ensure you remember those words in real-life communication Another great time for spaced repetition is studying for exams, which requires you to memorize many pieces of information that can be difficult to remember Using spaced repetition will allow you to learn faster and recall more, resulting in a higher score

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
Have you ever heard that older children are “more mature”? Believe it or not, psychologists have suggested that your birth order, which can affect things like how much attention you get from your parents
and how you interact with siblings and members in the family, may be a significant factor that moulds your
personality
The oldest child is the only one that completely has their parents to themselves With all the attention they receive from their parents as an infant, firstborn children are, in many cases, very responsible and well-behaved Moreover, as parents often have quite high expectations for their first child and want them to be successful, firstborns are usually ambitious and are more likely to become high achievers when they grow up Another notable fact is that they can be more protective in nature, as a result of having to take care of and act as a “second parent” to younger siblings
Meanwhile, middle children don’t get as much attention from the family, so they find other sources for it such as in a small but important circle of friends, which makes them loyal and faithful in all of their relationships and good at relating to a variety of people They can feel jealous that their older sibling is always accomplishing things first; although when they are younger they often advance quicker because they have their older siblings to watch and imitate Also, because they have to compete for their parents’ attention, middle children will often find something unique to excel at to stand out from other siblings
The youngest children tend to enjoy more freedom Since parents are generally experienced when
their youngest is born, they will be more lenient and give he or she more independence Furthermore, the youngest child often feels that he or she is special and has a unique place in the family All of these factors
Trang 5can also be more creative and outgoing
What about only children? Studies have suggested that because only children are typically surrounded by adults, they tend to be independent, confident, and intelligent They have a lot in common
with firstborns, although they are usually less agreeable than those with siblings are This might be because
they rarely have the experience of trying to get attention from parents or arguing and resolving conflicts among siblings
Of course, these descriptions are not entirely accurate (especially in the case of twins, who get a special focus from parents) However, learning more about birth order and the effect on our personalities can be helpful for parents to see how they may be influencing their children And as an adult, it is certainly interesting learn more about where some of your personality traits might stem from
