Do you need motivation for studying？ If you ever feel like studying is pointless， you may find inspiration2 in the following tips. Read on to discover what your problems really are！
学习需要动力吗？如果你觉得学习毫无意义，你可以从下面的提示中找到灵感。继续阅读，你会发现你的问题在哪！
TIP 1： GET WISE！
You’ve probably heard the old saying “I’ll never use this knowledge in the real world.” It’s time to set the record straight3 once and for all4—that saying is completely false！Why？ You see， you may not believe that you’ll need English later in life， but you’ll need it in college， and you’ll certainly need it to succeed in the world.
When you start feeling like studying is a drag， it might help to start thinking about the reason you’re studying in the first place. The work you do now is really important， even though it’s probably hard to see sometimes. In fact， your studying is really what will form the foundation for your future. Right now you are probably being forced to study subjects that don’t interest you at all. It may seem cruel and unfair now， but it’s really important and necessary.
提示1：明智地看待学习！
你可能听过这样一句老话：“我永远不会在现实世界中使用到這些知识。”现在是时候彻底纠正这个误解了——这种说法是完全错误的！为什么？你看，你可能不相信你会在以后的生活中需要英语，但你在大学的时候会需要，如果想在世界上取得成功，你一定也需要它。
当你开始觉得学习是个累赘时，不妨先想想你学习的原因。你现在所做的真的很重要，尽管有时你难以察觉这一点。事实上，学习是你未来的基础。此刻你可能被迫去学习那些你根本不感兴趣的科目。在现在看来这可能是残酷而不公平的，但它确实是重要且必要的。
TIP 2： GAIN CONFIDENCE！
Most students have a special talent in one particular area， so they enjoy studying in that subject. The problem comes when they avoid doing the other subjects. Sound familiar？
The good news is that you don’t need to love everything. Just pick one area you love and become the“expert” in your school. Get a serious attitude！Once you become the expert in your field， you will gain confidence in yourself and start thinking of all your least favorite subjects.
Some kids get good grades because of their reputations. The teacher likes them better and meanwhile， they will work harder.
提示2：获得信心！
大多数学生在某个特定的领域有特殊的天赋，于是他们喜欢学习那门学科。问题在于他们会回避其他的学科。这种情况是不是挺耳熟？
好消息是，你不需要热爱所有学科。选择一个你喜欢的，并成为学校里这个学科的“专家”。态度要认真！一旦你成为你擅长领域的专家，你会获得信心，并开始考虑所有你最不喜欢的学科。
一些孩子为了他们的名声而去争取好成绩。老师更喜欢他们，同时他们也会更努力地去学习。
TIP 3： GET COMPETITIVE5！
If you have a competitive spirit， you can have a lot of fun with this one.
If you think you’re at a disadvantage to other students， you can turn things around by getting a competitive attitude.
Think of every subject as a challenge and set out to do better than anybody else. Try to surprise everyone—including the teacher—by working hard. 提示3：树立竞争意识！
如果你有竞争意识，你可以得到很多乐趣。
如果你认为你在与其他学生竞争的时候落后了，你可以通过竞争意识来扭转局面。
把每个学科都当成一个挑战，并且要比其他人做得更好。试着通过努力让所有人——包括老师都大吃一惊吧。
TIP 4： CHART6 YOUR PROCESS.
Design your own map of completed classes and post it somewhere that is visible daily. There’s a certain satisfaction that comes with watching your goals be accomplished7. When times get hard， you can always turn to your chart and see how far you’ve come.
提示4：制定进度表。
为你已经完成的课设计自己的进度图并且贴在你每天能看到的地方。看着你的目标陆续完成一定会让你有一种满足感。当你学习的时间变得有点难熬的时候，你可以看看你的进度表，看看你已经完成了多少。
TIP 5： GET YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE！
If you get bored just thinking about studying， then you may need to focus on setting and reaching goals.
For instance， if you are having trouble getting started on a big goal， then divide your goal into steps. Then， reward yourself each time you finish a step successfully.
There are many ways to reward. You may want to create a dream box with pictures of big prizes， like the picture of the college of your dreams， or the notes with the names of the CDs you want. Fill the box with the objects of your dreams and make a habit of looking at them often.
提示5：給自己奖励！
如果你厌倦了思考学习，那么你可能需要专注于设定和达成一些目标。
例如，如果你在开始一个大的目标时遇到困难，那么把你的目标分成若干步骤。然后，在每次成功地完成一个步骤的时候奖励自己。
给自己奖励的方式有很多种。也许你可以做一个有着奖品图片的梦想盒子，放入比如你梦想中的大学的照片或者是记有你想要的CD碟名字的纸条。用梦想相关的物品填满盒子，并养成经常瞅瞅它们的习惯。
TIP 6： GET PARTNERS！
Find a friend or relative who has similar interests or who would enjoy hearing about your studies and let them know what’s going on in your classes. Discuss what you learn. You’ll understand the material better when you have a chance to explain it out loud and will be motivated to stay on task in order to keep up with the conversation.
提示6：寻找同伴！
找一个和你有相同兴趣的朋友或亲戚，或者愿意倾听你谈论你学习的人，让他们知道你在班上的情况。讨论你所学到的东西。当你有机会把你学到的东西解释出来，你就会更好地理解这些东西；为了跟得上谈话，你会有动力去继续完成学习任务。
