Misunderstanding?!!..

During our school time, study is something very hard and boring. There will always have obstacles if we want to study hard. Entertainments, house works, and family disturbances(if you have younger siblings) are unavoidable. However, if you say that your friends disturb your study, it is avoidable because you can simply chase them away and keep on your study.

My lovely 'kan' sister says that she understands about what she studied about when teacher teaches her, but in the real examinations, usually she can't do it. Why is this happens? Well, this is a normal condition for almost all students in the world but not for a real genius who will directly get what he or she learns on that day.

If you want to know the exact problem of most students face with, then I can only say that they don't have enough practices. Sometimes we may say we already understand about something but we must also ask ourselves, can we teach what we understand to others and make them understand as well? Can we do what we understand in the real examination with minimal difficulties? If we say yes to both conditions, then it is a proof that we really understand what we have learned. However, the truth now is we say we understand about certain topic, but the problem is we don't know how to teach it to other. We only know how to say yes when teacher asked," Did you understand I teach you?" Actually, this is our main weakness.

Teaching? Is it difficult? If you want to know the answer, then you just go and ask your teacher. If they say it is easy, then the teacher sure just simply teaches their students in their whole life time as a teacher. But, if they say teaching is something difficult, I can say that the teacher is a good teacher. This is because teaching is a profession that need you full understanding about what you are going to teach. If you yourself don't understand about what you teach, then how will you expect your students to understand you? Sure they will come and ask you if they don't understand. That is why in our study also, we must learn how to teach others as well. Teaching will only make us understand about what we have learned more, and nothing will become less in your mind. Teaching your friends in study group or in class, you can improve your skills a lot and sometimes you can learn new skill. Wow, it is interesting right? It is not necessary that you need to make your friends to understand all things at once, but just let them can do what is important first. For example, in mathematics, all you need to do is give your friends the tips how to do the first step(if they are really weak students), and it is not necessary to teach them until they can finish the questions cause I know that it will become your task to do it till finish. So, I think that it is hopeless and unmeaningful.

However, before you are qualified to teach others, you must do a lot of practice first. I am one of the ex-STPM candidates, so I know the difficulties in studying science subjects. The questions are unpredictable and difficult too. I have done a lot of exercises till I get bored with the questions already, but we must go on with the questions cause some questions may have the same answer but different ways of stating the questions make us nervous. So, practice is a must in study. Do it till you are bored, then you will have greater understanding and chances in exam too. So, good luck in your study and all the best, keep following this blog.
