MODEL ANSWER:

• We all make efforts to work or study well.

• I am a student and I also do certain things so that I can study well.

• One such thing is that I always study on my study table and chair and never on my bed.

• I have seen that when I study on my bed, I fall asleep very soon and all my plans of studying till late night go unfulfilled.

• I can also concentrate better when I study on my study table.

• Secondly, I make it a point to switch off my cell phone when I have to study.

• Cell phone is very distracting and if open Whatsapp, then I start chatting with friends and waste precious time

• Another thing I do is that I shut the door of my room so that my siblings don’t disturb me.

• Sometimes I play some music while studying.

• This kills the background noise

• I also make it a point that my bed is not cluttered and when I hit the bed, I can sleep soundly.

• I usually study at home, so I take all these steps at home.

• I study mostly in the evening for 3-4 hours every day.

• When I have to study seriously, such as near my exams, I take all these steps.

• By taking all these steps I can study better and also sleep better.
