You may find some aspects of this course to be frustrating (使感到灰心) to you; this is natural, but you should try not to let that block you from succeeding at the course. Here are some hints that you should consider: Dont do your homework in front of the TV or with the radio or stereo going. These are distractions (分心的事物) and will prevent you from concentrating on the material you are studying. Some students say: "But I work better with music going"; they are deluding (迷惑) themselves. What they actually mean is "I enjoy it more when theres music going". That may be true, but studies indicate that it takes students longer, and the results are worse, if there are distractions like music and television when they are working on their homework. If you must listen to music while studying or doing homework, at least listen to classical music; studies show that this makes you smarter.
