LONG READING

Studying is very important for students. Some students succeed because they study hard and regularly. Others fail because they don’t study enough or prepare for tests. For example, David studied a lot last semester. He passed all his exams. But Anna didn’t study well and failed two subjects. She learned that studying hard is necessary for success.

When students study, they prepare for exams and improve their skills. Teachers usually give advice to help students study better. For example, they say students should focus, not skip classes, and review their notes often. With effort and good habits, students usually get good results.
