As we know music can bring us not only wonderful excitement but also happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But one English school named Millfield School allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it helps to improve the students' grades.
According to the research at Millfield School, about 20%of teenagers work best with background music, 10%of them do well when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80%can concentrate(集中注意)better if allowed to play with a small thing.
The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover (发现) which learning ways suit(适合)them best, and then let them do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their work with the television on.
"I prefer(更喜欢)to work on the floor with music on low, "said Linda, a 13-year-old girl. "At first my parents thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was okay, they agreed at last. "
