I'm often asked how to study English effectively. I think this means getting the most out of your study time, and that means variety.
Study Every Day
It's important to study English every day. However, don't exaggerate (夸张)! This habit of studying English every day will help keep English in your brain fresh.
A Little Grammar, a Little Listening, a Little Reading, and a Little Writing
Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then read an article on the same topic. Don't do too much; twenty minutes on three different types of exercises is plenty!
