Would and used to

We use would to talk about a repeated past action that does not happen now. We often use this
form to talk about pleasant memories. On the other hand, we use the phrase used to in the sense
of formerly to indicate something that happened in the past but no longer does. Also, Used to is a
phrase that can mean “accustomed or habituated to” (past state).

Tips for being a super-organised student

posted 2 hours ago by Amy

I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget to do it. Me,
on the other hand, … OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself organised!
But lately I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it
needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.
So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organised? Post a comment below. I’m hoping
we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills.

Comments

Hana
Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desk-
top on my computer. I make a backup of important documents. I delete things I don’t need any mo-
re and put everything into the correct folder.

Amy
Nice tip, Hana. I think it’s a good idea to do a little bit of tidying up every day. Then it becomes a
habit and your desktop is always organised.

Gloria
The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until
the night before! That’s just common sense, I think.

Amy
Thanks, Gloria! I agree.

Lou
Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divided into different sections. I’ve
got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a section for each school subject and another one for other stuff.
I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I
remove something from the board!

Amy
Great tip, Lou. I’ve got a cork board with pins. I use it in the same way.
