暑假已經到來，學生們又自由了。暑假該怎麼過呢？適當的放鬆之外，也應制定假期計劃，讓整個暑假不虛度。
Summer is here and for a lot of people it's a time to enjoy the sun, have a vacation and relax.
暑假來了，對於很多人來說，是時候享受太陽，度個假，放鬆一下。
But if you need to study this summer, it's very important to create a study schedule so you have enough time for your studies as well as time to enjoy your break.
可是如果你得在這個暑假學習的話，制定學習計劃表就很重要了，如此你便可以有充足的時間學習，還能享受你的休閒時刻。
Even if you don't have any studying to do, this is a great season to develop a new skill, explore a new hobby or work on a creative project that you didn't have time for earlier this year.
即使是沒什麼要學習的，這也是一段很好的時間去發展一門新技能、探索一個新的愛好或者從事一項今年年初沒有時間從事的具有創造性的項目。
So when you're making your own study schedule - here are five tips to keep in mind.
因此，當你製作學習計劃時，應該記住五點。
The first is to start early.
第一點，儘早開始。
Some students leave all their work until the last few days of the summer, then they panic about not having enough time.
有些學生把所有的任務都留到暑假最後五天才開始做，然後，他們就開始害怕時間不夠。
As soon as you're able, get started with your schedule. The sooner you start the sooner all your work is done and you're free to do whatever you want during the holidays.
儘早開始實施計劃。你越快開始，任務就會越快完成，之後你就可以在假期做自己想做的事情了。
The second tip is to create a list of everything that needs to get done.
第二點，列一張待做事件表。
You can for example write everything in chronological order and separated by subject.
例如，你可以按時間順序寫下所有需要完成的事，然後按科目分類。
This way you can see everything you need to cover in the study plan.
如此一來，你就能知道學習計劃需要覆蓋的所有項目了。
The third tip is to decide how long it will take to complete all the things on your to-do list.
第三點，決定完成列表上所有待做事情所需的時間。
Start scheduling in each task around your summer plans.
在你的暑假計劃中為每項任務安排時間。
If you have an extra hour you could brainstorm ideas for that essay you need to write.
如果有時間的話，你可以就你需要寫的進行頭腦風暴。
If you're spending two hours in the car - bring your notes and revise them.
如果你花了兩小時在車上，那就把筆記本拿出來並且做出修改。
Before bed - read the flashcards that you made.
晚上休息之前，你可以讀一讀你做的抽認卡片。
The fourth tip is to plan it out.
第四點，把學習計劃做出來。
Make a schedule using a calendar or Excel.
用日曆或者Excel表格製作學習計劃表。
It could be daily, weekly or monthly depending on which way you prefer to plan.
可以是日計劃，周計劃，也可以是月計劃，這取決於你的喜好。
Include all the tasks you want to complete in that time period.
把所有你想在假期完成的任務都包含進去。
Design it to what suits you the best and make it something you want to follow.
使計劃表完美適用於你自身而且你願意去執行。
When you're doing this, plan your time using two kinds of time blocks: free time and fixed time.
當你開始做的時候，採用兩個時間區塊來計劃：自由時間和固定時間。
Free time is when you have other summer activities and relax.
Fixed time is when you need to do something which you've determined beforehand regardless of most situations.
自由時間是你做其他假日活動和放鬆的時間。
固定時間是你做提前計劃好的任務的時間。
As an example your fixed hours can be between 8 a. m. and 1 p. m. when you are 100% focused on your studies.
例如，你的固定時間可以是上午八點到下午一點，這時你需要百分之百專注於學習。
You might need less hours or more hours.
你可能不需要那麼多時間也可能需要更長的時間。
That's up to you to decide and depends on the goals you've set up for yourself.
由你決定這些，時間長短取決於你為自己設置的目標。
The last tip is to stick with it.
最後一點，堅持。
The best way to actually follow your study plan is by being motivated to use it!
要想按計劃表執行，最好的辦法是得到激勵！
Put it in a place where you see often. For instance near your bed or above your desk.
把計劃表放在你經常能看見的地方。比如你的床旁邊或者桌子上。
Each morning see what you need to do and try to get it done.
每天早晨，你都能看到要做的事情，然後努力去完成。
Reward yourself for completing the things you need to do and cross them off your schedule.
如果完成了任務，就犒勞一下自己，還要在計劃表上打鉤。
However, don't be afraid to make changes to it.
但是，不要害怕改變計劃。
If you can get something done sooner go ahead.
如果你可以早點完成計劃，那就繼續之後的計劃。
But if you miss a day don't feel guilty about it.
但是如果有一天沒有完成，也不必感到內疚。
Adjust your schedule and create a new plan.
調整你自己的計劃表，然後制定新的計劃就可以了。
Remember that this is your break and you don't need to work 24/7.
記住，這是你的休息時間，不必時時刻刻在學習。
Spend time with your friends and family, have fun, be spontaneous and relax.
花時間和朋友還有家人們相處、玩耍，自然一點，放鬆一些。
Don't feel bad about having some downtime - because you deserve it.
不要因為休息放鬆了就感覺不快，這是你應得的。
