三、阅读理解：

A lot of people think they don’t have enough time to learn something new.

Of course, it’s always a challenge to fit education into a normal day, but

making use of every opportunity will make things simpler. So here are some

suggestions on how to make the best of our available time.

Firstly, commit to learning something new. Whatever that may be, it’s

important to think about when, what and how you’re going to learn and stick

to that plan.

Secondly, try to make the learning experience enjoyable. After all, what’s

the point of learning something when it’s not interesting? When we start to

enjoy the process of learning, the possibilities seem endless.

Thirdly, have faith in yourself. Most of the time, success is determined by

hard work and dedication. So don’t be discouraged when things get more

challenging than expected.

Last but not least, surround yourself with people who believe in you. Peer

support plays an important role in our learning journey, so find people who

understand and support you and provide encouragement when it’s needed.
