American Classroom Rules
1. If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you don’t know the answer, it’s all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
2. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you can not go to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility（責(zé)任）to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of missed homework.
3. You must not be absent(缺席) on a test day. If you are badly ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you to take a makeup, you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Bad illness is the only reason for missing a test.
4. Be on time! It’s not polite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books out of your bag before you come into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the US, it is not necessary to knock at the door before you come into the classroom.

Students learn their lessons in class．In class teachers teach them．Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn? Of course not．There is another way to learn．That is students can teach themselves．Every student can teach himself, and every student is teaching himself when he is learning something．For example，if you cannot remember something when you are doing your homework．what will you do? You can look at your book to find the answer．This is a way to teach yourself．And it is not a difficult way．We can do this at any place and at any time．

How to teach yourself？ The first thing you must do is reading．Read something you are interested in，not you have to read．The second is that you must ask yourself questions．The question is something you don’t understand，or you want to know more about．You can write down these questions．A clever student is usually good at asking questions．The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard，by reading the text or other books，and sometimes by asking other people．These are the ways of teaching yourself．And you must do these all by yourself．If you keep doing like these for a long time，you are sure to succeed in your study．

If you have a problem with speaking, you can do several things. Listen to English as much as possible. You can learn a poem(詩) or a song by heart. You can also learn more dialogues（對話）. And practice speaking with your friends as much as you can.
Many people find it difficult to listen to English. The answer is to listen as much as you can. However, don’t do too much at one time. It is better to practice listening for five minutes every day. Don’t sit down and listen for an hour at a time. That’s too much! Do choose listening passages that are interesting and not too difficult. Choose（選擇） tapes（磁帶） on which the people speak clearly and not too fast. Take it easy， at first. Success with simple tapes at the beginning is the answer. Later on you can practice with tapes that are more difficult.
Finally, how can you learn to write well? How do you use little words like in, on, of and for? There are two answers to this. First, do some study with new words. Keep a list of verbs like look for, look after and so on. Second, read as much English as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly(正確地) yourself. So, in order to write well, you must first learn to read much.
