SELF-STUDY SPIRIT

If someone asks you to define "self-study ", what would you say?

Take any random sample of students, most of them say :"self-study is the activity of learning about something without a teacher to help you". Do you think so? If it is your answer, I'm afraid your definition is only correct in a half and it is high time for you to think over.

In my opinion, self-study is also ready to study at all hours. You are always eager to make a plan for what you will study. And especially, you need to have strong passion for study.




SELF-STUDY HAD SOME ADVANTAGES




Self-study is one of the most difficult methods as it requires you to be strong-minded and energized. When you study on your own, you may have trouble in finding out strategies and materials. This may enable you to be tired.Maybe, it will lead to result that you could have no desire for study. However, if you try your best, you can get a lot of experience in searching for documents or using some techniques of your own. According to a latest search, self-study helps you remain knowledge longer.

In addition, self-study spirit encourages you to get over difficulties to reach for the stars.Due to strong passion for study, you can put your problem aside and make an effort to get more and more knowledge.Take MAXIM GORKI as an example. Born into a poor family, he had to earn his living when he was twelve. He studied by himself for25 years.Finally, he became a famous writer in the world. Knowledge he had helped him create these invaluble stories. It was life that taught him all.

Turn back the time,we know THOMAS EDISION, one of the most important inventors of all times.It may come as a surprise to learn that he only got three grade.What made him become a famous scientist is self-study.

Another famous representative for self-study is UNCLE HO. He studied FRENCH on his own. He was so determinded that he could attend VECXAI conference. For several years, he could write many stories in FRENCH.

In short, talking about the important role of self-study, I don't mean to diminish teachers' role because they help us very much. They give us precise and useful knowledge. Moreover, teachers also show us the way to study effectively. They are the first people to lay the foundation for us to fulfil our dreams. But you shouldn't have a negative attitude: waiting for getting knowledge from your teachers. The best way is that you should combine methods your teachers show you with self-study. Having the "right" strategy can be a major factor in success.

In this essay, I don't mention how to have an effective self-study. Since each of you can find the best method for yourself.

It is just my subjective point of view. So, I hope you will comment to make it perfect
