A semester ended after I took the final exam of term 1 yesterday. During the past three months, I studied very hard and seriously. In class, I always listen attentively to the teacher's lecture. At home, I always do my homework properly and carefully. When there are difficult or unclear lessons, I will ask an adult to explain them to me. Thanks to that, I have had good achievements, much improved compared to grade 2. Especially in English. Now, I can read and write very well, many times praised by her. This subject has now become my favorite subject. However, I will not stop there. In the second semester, I will try harder, to achieve more and better results.

When we start our studies, all of us already have different kinds of study skills. Our motivation springs from different sources, as does our general attitude to our studies. Nevertheless, regardless of where we are coming from, we need to take many things into consideration in our studies. Study success requires clear objectives, motivation, planning, self discipline, self confidence, good study habits and a positive attitude. Being physically fit is also helpful. Now that’s quite a list!
It is relevant here to ask if motivation and the ability to make plans and set objectives are inborn traits? And what about good reading and study habits, a positive attitude and physical fitness? How self confident were we when we were born? Indeed, we must assume that we are not born with the above. These are not inborn traits; we have learned and developed them and many others through the course of our lives. (Ringom 1994.)
As a student, you are given an excellent opportunity to develop not just your study skills, but also many other skills useful in life. These skills will help you to succeed in challenging tasks after graduation.
We hope that the following pages will help you to reflect upon your own study skills and habits. The discussion proceeds on a rather general level. Should some topics raise your interest, however, we encourage you to dig deeper, for example by familiarising yourself with the reference literature provided at the end of this guide.
