class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading. When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there. Task 2: Money for College Script Robert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help. ―Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I… uh… got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I’m going to need $100.‖ ―I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I’ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖ ―Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.

Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of superachievers. First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the puter is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business es before recreation. Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a crosscountry runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination. Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they e home from school when the wor
