Final Writing
Since I have been studying in Australia, compared with China, I realised there's a significant difference of English study. Formally, Chinese teachers would adopt cramming methods and pay attention to grammar and vocabulary. However， in comparison, the English Academic Program (EAP) class encouraged independent learning and provided me more opportunities to interact and converse with classmates. After studying the EAP, I have found that time management is my weakness. Therefore，I will discuss more about study strategies through reading related resources.
Time management is a crucial factor for productive learning. Firstly, as described by the Academic Skills Unit (2012), time management can be achieved by making a “daily planner” (p.23). So I downloaded a daily planner and filled it with my study plans. Doing this helps to complete my daily tasks more efficiently. Secondly, the research of Mark (2006,p.25) also states that scattered time in a day should be utilised and made more productive. For instance，I looked for chances to talk to native speakers while waiting for the train, or participated in conversation actively during my breaks. I have learnt that small bits of time added together can be used very productively.
In conclusion, by researching and comparing study strategies I discovered time management is crucial to achieve productive learning. However ，to become a better learner, it is also important for students to stay focused and motivated. In my future studies, apart from spending my time more productively, I will also set manageable short-term goals and review my plans regularly based on my study target.
