Learning News: A New Plan on the Subway
Today there is a small news item: a student started a new learning plan on the subway. She said she only has fragmented time every day, so she decided to use that time to study Chinese.
Her plan is simple: read one story every day, memorize three new words, and do two exercises. She said this won’t be too tiring and she won’t forget. The teacher listened and thought this method was very interesting and very practical.
The reporter asked her, “Why do you want to persist?” She answered, “Because I want to pass the HSK2 exam in one year. As long as I do a little every day, I can improve.” She also said that if she has difficulties, she will study with friends and encourage each other.
Finally, many people in the subway heard the news, and some want to try it too. Today’s news reminds everyone: learning does not require a lot of time. As long as you have a plan, you can succeed.
