A All pupils want to do their best at school, but many do not succeed.0:11
Is it just that others are smarter?0:19
Is it that others spend every hour of every day on homework and never have any fun?0:22
Some pupils really get and store information more easily than others, and some school children spend huge amounts of time studying.0:28
But the real difference between a good pupil and a bad one comes down to one planning.0:36
Make a plan and it may save you hours or days of needless study and worry.0:43
B Handheld calculators are so inexpensive that most families and many schools have them.0:51
Such calculators make problems with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers very easy.0:59
Calculators can also be used to solve other problems.1:06
Although no two calculators are exactly alike, all have some characteristics in common.1:09
Almost all handheld calculators have a memory feature, but surveys have shown that most people don't use it.1:15
C. People constantly compare things.1:23
It may be easy to say that one subject is bigger or heavier than other, but to answer questions like how big, how heavy?1:30
Requires a more exact way of comparing.1:38
The data scientists gather must be available to people so that they can use the information in their own work.1:42
The metric system is in common use in most countries and by scientists all over the world.1:49
The basic unit of length in it is the meter.1:55
This system is a decimal system.1:58
Each unit is related by a factor of 10.2:00
D. Few people have trouble learning everyday words such as house, man, dog, run.2:06
The words that give trouble are less common.2:17
They are usually long and often refer to abstract ideas.2:20
These long words are often made up of smaller pieces whose meanings are easy to learn.2:25
These parts of words are roots, prefixes, and suffixes.2:33
Once you learn some of the common roots, prefixes, and suffixes, you can guess the meanings of many other unfamiliar words and know many more of them.2:38
E. Many readers begin to have trouble when they start to read passages about unfamiliar subjects.2:53
These readers may be able to recognize or pronounce all the words, but they cannot tell what a sentence means because they do not know the meaning of an essential word.3:03
For such readers, an important step to improving their reading is to enlarge their vocabulary.3:14
In many cases, the context will help.3:21
Do not forget to look up unknown or difficult words in dictionaries, either.3:24
