A class can get boring and you can get distracted2. But learning how to concentrate in class is necessary for you to get a good grade and actually learn something. Here are some tips for how to concentrate in class.

課堂会变得无聊，你也会分心。但是学习如何在课堂上集中注意力是你取得好成绩和真正学到东西所必需的。下面有一些小窍门，教你如何在课堂上集中注意力。

Participate3

The people who have learned how to concentrate know that they need to participate actively in class. Raise your hand for every question. The more engaged4 you are with the lecture， the more you will want to concentrate on it. So it is a way of fooling yourself into concentrating. Trick yourself into getting interested. Youll surprise yourself by how interested you really are if you give it a shot.

参与课堂

已经学会集中注意力的人知道他们要积极参与课堂。对于每个问题都举手。你对课堂越投入，你就越想集中注意力。所以，这是一种骗自己集中注意力的方法。骗自己对什么感兴趣。如果你试一试，你会惊讶地发现自己有多感兴趣。

Take good notes

Get your pen working to keep your mind focused5. Many learners brains dont connect with what they are working on when theyre just listening. If youre one of those people， then move your pen and take good notes during the lecture to help you concentrate.

做好笔记

要让你的笔动起来，来集中注意力。在只是听课的时候，许多学习者的大脑无法和他们正学习的东西联系起来。如果你是这种学习者，那么在听课的时候动动你的笔并记好笔记，以帮助你集中注意力。

Eat a healthy breakfast

Hunger can be a big distraction. Grab some brain food before you head to class in order to get rid of a very obvious distraction.

吃顿健康的早餐

饥饿会让人分心。在你去上课之前，先吃点益脑食品，这样可以避免明显的分心。

Get a good nights sleep

For maximum concentration， make sure you have slept at least eight hours. I know it can be hard to do， but your concentration will be almost gone if you are fighting fatigue6. Get some shut-eye so you can pay attention to the things that matter most.

睡个好觉

为了最大程度地集中注意力，要确保你至少睡了8个小时。我知道这很难做到，但是如果你在与疲劳作斗争，你会几乎无法集中。好好睡一觉，这样你就能注意到最重要的事情了。

Reward yourself

If you really have trouble focusing in class， then reward yourself at the end of class for paying attention. Give yourself a piece of candy or have a look at the new pen you like most.

奖励你自己

如果你在课堂上真的很难集中注意力，那么在下课的时候为自己的注意力奖励一下自己。可以给自己一块糖果或者看看你最喜欢的新钢笔。

Get the jitters7 out

If you are an antsy8 person and your teacher is not able to allow you to move in the classroom， then make sure you have gotten your energy out before class. Run laps around the library. Take the stairs everywhere you go. Ride your bike to class. Use some of your energy beforehand， so you can concentrate during your class period.

别紧张

如果你是一个坐不住的人，而你的老师不允许你在教室里活动，那么要确保你在上课前已经把精力释放出来了。你可以在图书馆周围跑几圈，无论走到哪里都走楼梯，骑你的自行车去上课。事先消耗点精力，那样你就能在上课期间集中注意力。

Change it up

If you can feel your ability to concentrate starting to slip9， then change something. Get a new pen from your bag. Cross your other leg. Stretch. Take a moment to give yourself a brief break from the monotony10. Youll be surprised how well this works to get you back on track.

变化一下

如果你能感觉到你的专注力开始下降，那就变化一下。你可以从你的包里拿出支新钢笔，跷起二郎腿，伸展一下，花点时间打破单调乏味。你会惊讶地发现这种方法能非常有效地让你回到正軌。
