When your teacher talks in class, you should listen carefully. But how? Sit near the front of the classroom. Look at your teacher. It’s easier for you to follow the teacher. If you can’t understand something, ask a question. You can also talk to the teacher about what you think. Don’t talk to others or play with something when the teacher isn’t looking at you. Then you can tell most of what your teachers have said after class.
