Step 2 Before Reading
1. Why do you think learning is important
Learning is important to our survival and development. We are born with basic survival instincts, but to continue surviving in our world we must learn a variety of things such as social behaviour and intellectual knowledge. We must also learn to adapt to the ever-changing world and what we learn throughout our lives influences our physical, mental, intellectual and social development. Besides, acquiring new knowledge and skills can be fun because it opens up opportunities to different experiences.
2. What would you do when learning is tough and frustrating
Faced with this situation, I would try to be patient with myself first. If being patient does not help, I would change my method of learning. For example, instead of reading about a topic, I could look for a video on the topic to watch. Finally, I would make sure I am maintaining a good balance between my studies and my free time activities. By applying various strategies, I will ensure that I improve my learning efficiency and face any challenges positively.
