Different students learn better in different ways, and it's important to find a way to study that works best for you. Here are some things that you can try to help you study better.

Make a plan
Decide when, where and for how long you are going to study. If you decide what you need to get done every time you study, then it will be easier to achieve your goals. Also, if you do smaller amounts of work regularly, you won't have the stress of needing to cram everything just before an important exam.

Test yourself on what you've learned
After you read something, you should test yourself on it. And instead of just doing it once, do it often. Try to test yourself days and weeks after you first learn something to make sure you really remember it. You can also work with a friend to test each other.

Take a break
Research has shown that taking breaks can help you work or study better. A study by the company DeskTime found that the most productive people work for about 52 minutes at a time, then take a 17-minute break in between. So when making your study plan, don't forget to include breaks in it.

Stay healthy
Getting exercise and sleeping well can actually help you study. Research has found that regular exercise can improve both memory and thinking skills, while sleeping helps the brain save new information.

日本の一番南に、沖縄（おきなわ）という県があります。ビーチリゾートで、日本語のテキストにもよく出てくる、有名な島です。けれども、実は戦争のあとの27年間、日本ではなくアメリカの島でした。そんな「オキナワ」が日本の「沖縄」にもどった日。それが50年前の5月15日です。今月は、お祝いのムードがあって、とてもいい感じ。たぶん今年中、続くでしょう。私は沖縄人（ウチナーンチュ）ではありませんが、沖縄の皆さんを尊敬しています。だから記念に、アルゼンチンで感じた「沖縄の思い出」を書いておこうと思います。
