I Scale Up Lesson 6 “Effective study habits” Finding the differences between the phrases/ Discussion: The most effective study habits.
1. Choose the most effective study habits.
□ Reread / review
□ Wait until the last minute
□ Study when well-rested
□ Study in the bus
□ Study in a quiet environment
□ Working environment
□ Use study guides / study buddy
□ Allow plenty of time
□ Cram

2.

Choose the right forms of the verbs.
People who remember (a) (to do) /doing everything they have planned are usually people who organize their tasks in some way, and avoid (b) 10 get/ getting into a muddle. A shopping list is a good example of this technique, provided you remember (c) to take/taking the list with you when you go (d) to shop/shopping.
It’s sometimes possible to remember a fact, for example, if first of all you stop (e) to think / thinking for a few moments. When you try (f) to remember/ remembering something, this will be easier if you have learnt it in an organised way. If you are not sure how to do this, try (g) to write/writing brief notes about the text you are reading. Many people find this an effective way of learning. After all, it’s easy to read something and not understand or remember it, usually because you have stopped (h) to pay/paying attention.
