GUIDE TO STUDIES
====English is really important for us business students, especially in our International Colleage. Vocabulary is the first thing you have to improve now, because we did not know much about those business words. Everything that will be done in your later study would be based on these words, even the listening. If you follow your teachers well and finish your homework on time, include your selfstudy works, it would be easier to improve yourselves. ====

Maybe you will think there are few places to go for study outside our campus here. In fact there is a library in Third Avenue, called TEDA Library. You can find many books there if you have its card. And it‘s easy to get the card. Also, there will have English Corner there, maybe on Friday night. You can go there and join them. I firmly believe that you will have a good time and make friends there. What’s the most important, you can improve your spoken English by this way.

There is a feature in TEDA, which is many foreigners here. You can go outside and try your best to speak English with them. I hope you can make great progress by using study resources out of our campus.

A good way to practice listening is to watch English movies. There are so many English movies on ejia.com. You can watch movies online. To practice listening, you need to watch the same movie again until you had already heard the exact word. It will be fine if you stay in bed and watch a movie on weekends.

Self-study is important for university student. There are many self-study resources in library for you to choose .Also Internet can help a lot. Self-study rooms are in buildings //3 and 5//. //Library// is a good place to study. When exams come student often go self-study room, maybe you should occupy a seat for you early. ---Sharon Ye

Library is a good place for self study. The ability of self study is very important for university students. You can enjoy many sources by reading books and magazines. You can also do your homework here. It is an ideal place where your study as well as your career takes off. Going to the university does not mean that you can stop studying. It just means that you have arrived at a higher level of learning. Sleeping here might not be a good idea. Please do not waste time, or you may regret.

Have fun! Ann Cai .

How to prepare the college English test Every college student has to pass the college English test (CET4, CET6) during the 4 years at college. I have some available suggestions to you. First, the most important section you have to study is the academic vocabularies, and read English articles regularly, no words, no grades. Then, listening stands an important position in the CET test. Remember to listening English recording and watch English TV programs very often. Also, writing is the basic skill you have to learn, practice more, or you will lose your marks during the test. Wish you can pass your tests very soon.

To be honest, campus life is more colorful than what you have expected, so is the study. Here are several suggestions that may be useful to you about academics in the new term.

You may think university studying is easier and softer than high school studying, maybe, to some degrees. However, you must guarantee that you are above the passing line, and what is remaining will be easier.
 * 1) You’ll have enough leisure time and this is also a great challenging for you due to that you must control it in an organized way.
 * 2) Teachers will never play the leading role, which means you must depend on yourselves. Nobody could up to your life except for yourselves.
 * 3) As a result, you must have a clear concern about what you want to do and what you have done.
 * Ok, boys and girls, it’s your own area, so do what you want!

 * Hello, guys! Welcome to TUST and welcome to our International College. I am very delighted with all of you, the new students in Teda. After studying for one year here, I would like to give some personal suggestions about self-study to you within my experience. **
 * Expect other colleges, the students studying in this major will have our own classroom to do anything. No one has such good resource like that, so everyone should use it properly. You can have a class meeting, organize interesting activities and do some self-studying in the classroom. I would like to emphasize the importance of self-study to you especially before taking exams. When you are studying in the university, no teachers and parents will supervise you and you should have enough self-control. Anyone cannot spend all their spare time in playing games or other activities. Mr. Su who is an excellent teacher told us studying is also the first thing in the university. Of course, if you are willing to join some clubs for fun, it’s OK. **
 * I hope everyone will not waste time here and will experience a wonderful university life. **
 * -Nancy. Lai **

About the Math, if you studied math in the high school and got scores no less than 100, I think you can pass the exam easily. What’s more, about the exam, it does not like the high school, because, the question of exams are almost coming from the practice book. Of course, you should listen to the teacher and if you want to pass the exams, **you should know the answer of the homework clearly before you have exam**, even if you do not listen to the class. I promise you can pass. --Angel

Hi, I’m Annie. I am very happy and grateful for study with our foreign teacher. Maybe I have some suggestions for you and hope that can help you to have a relaxed classroom atmosphere and campus life. Firstly, you should study very hard and know what you should do when you are not sure. Secondly, do not addict to the Web. At last, you should realize that English play a vital role in your student life. You must do your best to improve your English level. This need you have a good attitude to study it well. I think campus life is rich and colorful. You can join a club that you interested. Not only can improve your sociability but also can enrich your leisure time. When you graduate from the university, you will become very challenging. In this case, you may have a lot of opportunities to choose your job. Annie

// Advice for exams // // Do a wide range of extra IELTS listening if you don’t think you are good at it. Because you have to pass IELTS test before going to the second year of university. // // If you have some problems about studies or exams, you can communicate with your teachers. They are willing to help each student and provide you with good ideas for your studies. // // You won’t worry about tests as long as you study hard for the first year because you will get improved a lot during your first year. After you finish all the courses, you will find you learn a good knowledge of English. // // I think the IELTS books will be useful for you, so I suggest that you should buy a set of them to practice. There are four real academic tests and two general tests in each book. You can use them for self-study. // // The last one I want to say is that you should keep calm when you take the tests. Anyway it’s key for everyone. Confidence is very important for exams. // // --Linda //

=Advise about economic.= As a business student, I think economic is one of the most important subjects. I cannot to say I can control it well, but I have some tips about it. The first, you should be interested in it. At the very beginning, do not just study your book, but read economical news that you like. Gradually, you can find that you want to know more about it and then try to study academic economical knowledge and try to use them to solve problems.

‘The best way to learn is to learn from the best ’, my economic teacher told me this sentence. I believe this is the attitude a business student should have. After the beginning, studying with the attitude is very necessary. You are advised to have knowledge about the top economic university in your country, even in the world. Compared with them, and try to be as outstanding as them.

The way to study economic is hard, but if you have the belief to defeat you can do it. Oh, the last sentence. Economic come from our daily life, so try to link it with your own life. Economic is a part of your life.

Hello, students! First, welcome to TUST, I am very pleased to give your some advice about your studies in the university. Although you have been a university student, you still want to study very hard. For the exams are not easy to pass. You will have listening, speaking, writing, and reading exam and you must get 6 scores in total in the final exam. As far as I am concerned, listening is the most difficulty. So this is an important way to get good score that summarize vocabulary you cannot see before, in addition, more and more practice. Last, hope you can have a good time in your university life. --Becky Yang

=== In terms of academics, it is difficult for freshman to adapt to university’s study because it remains such a big difference while it compared to high school. What makes it’s difference is that university emphasize the significance of studying independently. Therefore, you must develop the habit of studying by yourself; otherwise, you do not catch up with teachers. Homework is important for study as high school. The more you pay attention to your homework, the higher mark you will get. In addition, reading is of great benefit to us to broaden our horizon. We should read more books instead of spending lots of time surfing on the Internet. ===

 * Our four kind foreign teachers will help with not only your English but also knowledge about different cultures. I firmly believe that you will have an unforgettable year, please treasure it. **

Dear friends, Today, I’d like to talk something about Math study. Except for foreign classes, you will spend your most time on Math. It’s really an important subject in your first term. In my opinion, there is not any difference between your high school study. You still need to listen to the teacher carefully, do homework and hand it on time, because it is connected with your final score. What’s more, you’d better not be absent from the class. The teacher will check the amount of students sometimes, which is a part of your final score. In my experience, learning step by step is the best way to study. Maybe studying hard before the test is your habit, however you will be relaxed facing the exam if you do well in daily study. Good luck friends! I believe you will have a wonderful time with these foreign teachers and with your friends here! ---Mary

Advise about to study English. I think vocabulary is the most important point of study English. So to grasp a good way to remember vocabulary is very useful for English study or English skills. As we all know when we do some reading or listening we usually miss some new word all of that will make a trouble for us. In fact my vocabulary is very poor, in my free time I try to learn vocabulary but to remember new words it is hard and boring. Sometimes I give up when I feel tired. Therefore to develop a good habit to study or to remember vocabulary is helpful of English studying. Vocabulary like a key of English study, and the best way to remember vocabulary is work hard, and remember again and again. Pay will be fruitful, lazy will be regress. What is more, English is a very useful of your daily life and it is very helpful of your career. Let us starting from the vocabulary! ---By Mr.Lion

I think improve vocabulary is very important for study English. A sentence makes up of words. So the words are basis of study English. If you want to pass the IELTS, I think you must remember a lot of new words in class. Because that words is very useful. And you must remember that do not miss the class. If you do that more you will have a big problem.

Advice: Remember to bring your earphones every computer class. Don’t download things, play games or chat with others during the classes. -- Tom

First I am happy to welcome you into TUST; Second I want to talk about study. We must realize that study is first. I think your feelings like mine when you are coming into university. We will think we can be relaxed at study and playing well is the most important, but over several months, my minds changed, because of my bad scores. I were coming to realize that “as a student, study is the most important and the others are second”, so when you are coming into campus, you should change your mind, and you can make your university life better in the future; Finally I wish you will have good life at campus. -Tivan Zheng.

Hello everyone! Congratulations on your become student of Tianjin University of Science and Technology.

The first year of my university life will be finished, and I will go to grade two. In this year, my ideas have changed a lot. So I want to tell you some my opinions about study in university. First, you should make a study plan which fit you. University life is very independent. Ideal and goal are important to us. Second, learning English is a very important thing in the first year. You should talk with foreign teachers as more as possible, and do more listening exercises. I think IELTS listening is little difficult. Finally, I want to say time is your own. You should use the first year do some useful things which you want.

Don’t forget study is the most important thing in your university life. Please cherish you time at university.

**Good Luck! ^.^** 102041Mini ^o^

Hello everyone! Maybe it is not important to review in high schools. However, we should pay more attention to review. After every class, you had better arrange your words and review it once and once again. It will be no problem when it comes to IELTS test. Maybe extra reading is necessary because you will happen to many new words. Hope everyone will have a relax year. (Nate 2010)


 * Hay, welcome to join our big family! I’m Felix, a member of the class of the 2010 grade, want to share some “study experience” with you.**


 * As you know, you are doing the business in TUST with the Austrian university SCU, so it means that you have to have a high English level. Learning English is the most important thing to do for you in the year of grade 1. But do not afraid about that, because you have good teachers helping you. Teacher always are the one hand, on the other hand, you should try your best to work hard. Doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking can be help about you English skill. Remember, just enjoy your English classes, to be outgoing and nobody will laugh at you. You are going to have lots of interesting activities in your classes, it is really a good chance to practice and improve your English. If you do not work hard, the best teacher in the world cannot help you.**


 * In my opinion, self-study is more important to the lessons, especially is your Chinese teachers’ class. Deferent with the senior high school, they do not care about if you can understand them. Three things you should to know in the university. First, if there is some knowledge you do not understand, just ask your teacher after the class. Second, you should have enough time for your self-study. The last things is a not a good way, but after your hard working and you still cannot understand, you should find a quick way to pass the exams. Do not make your score under 60 in the university! If so, you will be in hot water and pain.**


 * Finally, I am looking forward to see your happy time in your TUST!**

= Hi, guys. Welcome to TUST, and also welcome to International College. I’m Casper from 2010 class, here, I want to share some experience about study and hope this can help you. We are the student under the cooperation of China and Australia about economics. The schools involved are TUST, SCU, and QIBA. All the foreign teachers you have met are teachers of QIBA, they will help you improve your English skills so as to you can understand our major lectures in the future. And you are bound to pass the IELTS test at the end of first year, and only after passing this you are able to continue your education as sophomore. In QIBA classes, you will find almost anything is different with Chinese ways classes. So it is important to adapt to it soon. In my view, you should make your own goal for QIBA classes according to your English level. That’s means you should find your own way. If you are good at English, take this opportunity to improve you speaking and listening skills (you can take every chance to cheat with your foreign teachers and there is no point to be shame), and try your best to remember more vocabulary. If you are not, first and the most important thing is treat the QIBA classes seriously, this can make sure you can pass the final exam, then, I suggest you do some extra study about English. Remember, you can but you should never sleep, dream, play games or cheat in the classes. These not only reduce your marks, but also these waste your money, your time as well as your life. Wish you enjoy yourselves!
