鈥淈span lang=EN-US>You鈥橖span lang=EN-US>re a good boy,鈥滭span lang=EN-US> said the mother proudly. 鈥淈span lang=EN-US>Here are two more cents. But why are you so interested in the old woman?鈥滭span lang=EN-US>

26銆?span lang=EN-US>Why are you study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(瑙嗚?鍨婞span lang=EN-US>)锛孅span lang=EN-US>Auditory(鍚??鍨婞span lang=EN-US>)锛孅span lang=EN-US>and Kinesthetic (鍔ㄨ?鍨婞span lang=EN-US>)銆侟span lang=EN-US>

　 Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(鍥捐〃)锛孅span lang=EN-US>and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You鈥橖span lang=EN-US>re not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.　

　　 Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it鈥橖span lang=EN-US>s the easiest way foy you to learn . Sometimes you may find that taking notes tops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend鈥橖span lang=EN-US>s notes to copy.

　　 Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

　 Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.
