Harvard Style 上哈佛真正學到的事

Today I came across a book in the bookstore, 上哈佛真正學到的事 (Harvard Style).  It was written by 姜仁仙 (Kang In-Sun), a Korean journalist and translated by 蕭素菁.  On the cover are the words as follows:

在哈佛求學，

改變了我讀書學習的態度。

讀書，並不是「把東西塞入腦中」，

而是「把習慣帶在身上」﹗

哈佛模式，不是秘密，

是世界前1%領導者的好習慣！

I can't agree more.  As an English teacher, what I most want to see students do is get into the habit of reading English books and magazines.  I told one of my classes again the other day that once they can use English as a tool to communicate with the world, whether by getting information from the Internet or by reading English novels or magazines, they will naturally have a good command of the English language.

The tile of the second chapter of this book is 哈佛人的大學生活法則。Nine principles were listed:

1. 做好時間管理

2. 和教授親近

3. 均衡選修多樣課程

4. 選擇習題和考試多的科目

5. 組成學習小組

6. 對作文多花點心思

7. 學習外國語

8. 投入與讀書無關的課外活動

9. 有問題一定要問
