Learning Styles Essay

Many students learn in many different ways, like seeing, hearing, and experiencing things first hand. Basically, there are 3 different learning style: visual characteristics, auditory characteristics and kinesthetic characteristics.
You may have noticed the different struggles that some students have had in school. An auditory student like me may do quite well listening to the lectures, while a visual student appreciates having explanations displayed on an overhead projector. According to my own style, I have 4 ways that help me study easier such as take notes and record while teachers are talking, watch movie and listen to music, study in a small group and combine studying and listening music together.

My first way to study in class is take notes and record. In class, I usually write down something which is important to the lectures. It can be help when I couldn’t remember something. Take notes can help me improve listening and writing skill because I have to write and listen to the teacher at the same time. Take note make memorize longer ’cause when I wrote it down, I remembered it one time, and when I read it, like one more time I study it. And about the record, sometimes I recorded in class because it can save all of conversations, information which the teacher said and the others student’s ideas when they discussed. When some information were missing, I could turn them on and check again. One more thing that I like about the records is I could hear them anywhere, anytime, even I was sleeping.
The second way that helps me a lot in English is watch movie and listen to music. I often take 2 hours to watch movie and listen to music everyday. I can learn a lot of new words, grammar structures from lyrics of the songs and it is relaxed when I listen to music. And the movie may teach me something such as how to speak in the daily conversations, how to use some special sentences, speaking skills in English. I learn how to speak the right pronunciation and intonation from watch movie and listen to music everyday.
The third one which help me so much in almost all classes is study in group. You know that many brains are always better than a brain. Study in group make me and the other partners learn a lot because when we study in group, we will not give only one idea, but many ideas and we can choose the best idea that makes sense. Study in group can help me to improve the speaking and listening skills also, because I have to tell, analyze and discuss my ideas with the other ideas. It also make the problem, homework are solved more quickly and easily.
The last one which is I like the best - combine studying and listening music together. It sounds impossible but it’s possible. According to me, I like this one the most because it helps me so much while I’m studying. When I’m studying with music, I feel more comfortable and more concentrated. I just listen my favorite songs and some lyrics-free songs. It will make my mind relaxed and concentrate to solve difficult problems and homework. If I’m studying something is difficult without music, it’s hard for me to focus on that problem and just thinking about others stuff.
My own styles are little easy but it’s suitable and helps me a lot in classes even the daily life.

Remember, no one learning style is better than another; each has advantages and drawbacks, depending on what you're trying to learn. And I just gave you my own ways like some advices. But by adapting what you want to know to your learning style, you can create your own style to make learning easier and more interesting.
