My name is Emre and I am in the 9th grade. I always plan my study time carefully. After school, I first have a short break and eat a snack. Then I sit at my desk and take notes while I read my textbooks. I highlight important words and sentences with coloured pens because it helps me remember them. I focus on one subject at a time and I never study with my phone next to me. When I finish all my tasks, I call it a day and relax by listening to music. My classmates often ask me for study tips. I tell them, “Keep up with your lessons every day and don’t leave everything to the last minute.”
