It is very important too get good grades in school. It is even more important to get good grades in English. For some of us though, it may get a bit complicated so I will discuss three ways how to make sure you get an A in English class or at least do not fail it. The three I think are most important are showing up for class, taking notes, and doing your homework. And here is why.
Firstly, take notes. When you write things down you retain them better. If you do not remember everything and forget a certain formula or a way of doing something you can always refer back to your notes. Also you can use them to study from and to help you figure out areas you do not understand as well and figure them out or write it down so you can ask in class.
Next I would pick doing your homework. Doing your homework allows you to reinforce and expand your knowledge of the subject. Also, when you receive your homework back from the professor, graded, you can look at any mistakes and learn from them and how to correct them. The teacher may also have written comments on how to improve your work or expand on ideas and help you think of new ones. Lastly it makes you think a little harder than normal and thats always a good thing.
The final way would be to show up to class. This would be the most important and sets the tone for the rest of them. Basically if you do not show up for class, you will have no idea what your even studying. You can not know what you have for homework so you wont get that done. You will have no notes to study from. Your whole knowledge of the subject would be non existent. If you can not show up for a once or twice a week college class, how will you show up for work every day in the future. You wont and you will be fired. Not to mention more than three missed days usually mean an automatic failure.
In conclusion, getting an A in English is imperative to your future. It helps you learn how to correctly present yourself
