Why are you study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(视觉型), Auditory(听觉型), and Kinesthetic (动觉型).

Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表), and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You're not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.

Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it's the easiest way for you to learn . Sometimes you may find that taking notes tops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend's notes to copy.

Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.

(1) There are ___________ different learning types according to the passage. A. two B. three C. four D. five

(2) Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a /an ____________ according to the passage. A. auditory learner B. visual learner C. strange leaner D. usual learner

(3) Kinesthetic learners learn best by ____________. A. Remembering information from videos B. listening teachers in class C. drawing graphs or pictures D. doing things with their hands

(4) The best title of this passage may be "____________". A. Study Habits B. Ways to study C. Learning types D. Reasons to learn
