下面PTE院校小编为大家带来一篇PTE双语的阅读，来提高同学们的阅读量。
1.take hard classes
学习有难度的课程
Be passionate about learning.
对学习充满热情
I once had an advisor that said to me when I expressed fear of a difficult class, "Do you want to get an education or not?"
当我表示自己对一门很难的课程十分害怕时，我的指导老师问我：“那你还想不想接受教育呢?”
2.Show Up, Every Time
展示自己，每时每刻 Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. It isn’t about what happens to us but it’s about how we handle what happens. As quoted; "we are who we choose to be" - Green Goblin. Fate govern us in many ways but what effort we are putting to cope with the fate?
发生在我们身上的事情只占生活中的十分之一，剩下的十分之九是我们的反应，重要的不是发生了什么而是我们如何处理。一如绿恶魔的名言：我们要成为什么样的人，是我们自己的选择的。命运多方面的操控着我们，但是我们又付出了多少努力来与命运抗争?
Living a good life can be easier if we follow the simplest attributes of living that can make our society better as well. Kindness, gratitude, love and emotions, forgiveness and forgetfulness, patience, sincerity, companionship, respect, care and devotion are some of the factors that can make life pretty easier and admirable.
我们只要遵循最简单朴素的真理，就能让生活变得容易，让社会变得更加美好。善良、感激、爱、感情、谅解、不计较、耐心、真诚、陪伴、尊重，关心和奉献，这些元素能让生活更加怡然自得。
Sometimes you cannot even imagine what life brings to you, it becomes impossible for you to handle that particular scenario but the thing that needs to be remembered every time is that if it brings immense happiness to you pay your thanks to the one who has given you the pleasure and if it makes you gloomy then never underestimate an individual power that every person actually have.
有时候你甚至不能想象生活能给你带来什么，特殊的场景让你感觉无所适从。但你只需要记住，要感谢带给你巨大快乐的人。那些让你感觉到人生灰暗，也不要低估自己处理这些问题的能力(什么让你痛苦，什么让你强大)。
Built that capacity and bring it out. Yes, we all got powers to cope the incidents that brings grief. Because he makes us suffer to that extent we can bear. He never puts us on trials that are impossible to face. And believe me every incident gives us a lesson, which we need! to learn.
要建立这种能力，然后激发它。我们完全具备应付这些事情带来的负面情绪，即使有时这些情绪超出负荷。生活从来不会将我们应付不来的事情摊派。每件事情的发生总有它的缘由，给我们的人生上一课。我们要做的只是从中吸取经验。
The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned" - Albert Einstein.
“生活的唯一败笔，就是我们的重蹈覆辙。”阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦
A small deed of kindness, a small word of love can bring peace. Care, respect and devotion can easily suppress hatred. Patience and sincerity can disrupt disputes. Forgiveness and forgetfulness can do wonders. These smallest human attributes can save this society from envy, abhorrence, disagreements, disloyalty and disrespect.[/en]
一个小小的善举，一句简单的爱的表达。关心、尊重、奉献能制约内心的厌恶。耐心、真诚可以瓦解分歧。原谅宽恕可以创造奇迹。这些小小的品质能够让社会不陷入嫉妒，憎恶，分歧、不忠、不敬的境地。
We cannot buy these traits from any store or market. Instead it is nature’s gift. We can earn these from prayers and from changing our selves because these are the traits that everyone possess, just need to use them.
这些品质我们买不来换不到。这些是与生俱来的。我们可以从祈祷以及改变自我中习得，原本就属于我们，只是我们不曾使用而已的属性。不要把自己和他人做比较，每个人都有自己的价值。发掘属于自己的人生真谛，不要带有(功利)目的生活，找到自己的(热爱)并将它惠及他人。
Thank you.
Make your classes your highest priority.
将学习放在最重要的位置
If you've got children, I understand that this isn't always possible. Children should always come first. But if you don't show up for your classes, you're not getting that education we discussed in No. 1.
如果你已经为人父母，我能够理解，这是不太可能的。你会将孩子放在更重要的位置。但是，如果你没有在课堂上展示自己，那么你也就没有做到我们在第一点里讨论的内容。
Make sure you've got a good plan for seeing that your children are cared for when you're scheduled to be in class, and when you need to study. It really is possible to raise children while you're going to school. People do it every day.
当你报名了学习某门课程时并要开始学习时，你要确保自己已经将孩子安顿周全。学习和照顾孩子兼顾是人之常情。每天都有人做着这样的事。
3.Sit in the Front Row
坐在前排
If you happen to be shy, sitting in the front row can be very uncomfortable at first, but I promise you, it's one of the best ways to pay attention to everything being taught. You can hear better. You can see everything on the board without having to crane your neck around the head in front of you.
如果你是一个腼腆的人，那么一开始坐在前排可能会让你有点不自在。但是，我向你保证，这是接受老师传授的内容的最好的办法之一。你也可以听得更清楚。不用伸长脖子，你就可以看到黑板上所有的内容。
You can make eye contact with the professor. Don't underestimate the power of this. If your teacher knows you're really listening and that you care about what you're learning, he or she will be extra willing to help you. Besides, it'll feel like you've got your own private teacher.
你可以和老师有眼神接触。不要小看这一点起到的作用。如果你的老师总是能够知道，你是很认真的在听他讲课，并且很重视学习的话，他可能会对你提供额外的帮助。除此之外，这会使你感觉，自己又多了一位私人教师。
4.Ask Questions
提问
Ask questions immediately if you don't understand something. If you're in the front row and have been making eye contact, your instructor probably already knows by the look on your face that you don't understand something. A polite raising of your hand is all you need to do to indicate you've got a question.
如果你对某个内容不懂，就可以立即提问。如果你坐在前排，并和老师有眼神交流，你的老师就很可能从你的面部表情就能得知，你对某个内容不太明白。你需要举起你的手，表示你有疑问。
If it isn't appropriate to interrupt, make a quick note of your question so you don't forget, and ask later.
如果此时打断老师讲课不太合适，你可以快速记下自己的问题，以免忘记，之后再问老师。
Having said this, don't make a pest of yourself. Nobody wants to hear you ask a question every 10 minutes. If you're completely lost, make an appointment to see your teacher after class.
说到这一点，你要注意的是，不要影响其他的人。没有人想每隔十分钟就听到你提问一次。如果你实在是不懂的话，可以在课后约上老师再讨论。
5.Create a Study Space
创造一个学习空间
Carve out a place at home that is your study space. If you've got a family around you, make sure everyone understands that when you're in that space, you're not to be interrupted unless the house is on fire.
在家里创造一个属于自己的学习空间。如果身边家人都在身边，你就要确保大家都明白你是在里面学习，除非房子着火，他们是不会打扰到你的。
Create a space that helps you make the most of your study time. Do you need absolute quiet or do you prefer to have loud music playing? Do you like working at the kitchen table in the midst of everything or do you a quiet room with the door shut? Know your own style and create the space you need.
创造一个学习空间，来帮助你最大限度地利用好学习时间。你是喜欢绝对的安静，抑或吵闹的音乐呢?你是喜欢在餐桌上办公，还是想关上门创造了一个安静的空间。理解你喜欢的类型，并创造属于自己的空间。
6.Do All the Work, Plus More
完成所有的事，甚至更多
Do your homework. Read the assigned pages, and then some. Plug your topic into the Internet, grab another book at the library, and see what else you can learn about the subject.
完成家庭作业，阅读指定的内容，以及其他的事。在网络上查找关于你的学习主题的内容，在图书馆看看书，再看看还可以学到哪些关于主题的内容。
Turn your work in on time. If extra credit work is offered, do that too.
准时完成你的工作。即使还有额外的任务，也要如此。
I know this takes time, but it'll ensure you really know your stuff. And that's why you're going to school. Right?
我知道，这是需要时间的，但是这会使你更加了解自己所做的事。这也会是你到学校学习的原因，对吧?
7.Make Practice Tests
完成实践测试
While you're studying, pay attention to the material you know will be on a test and write a quick practice question. Start a new document on your laptop and add questions as you think of them.
在你学习的时候，你要留意会考到的内容，并快速写下实践问题。在笔记本电脑上新建一个文件夹，并将你的问题添加进去。
8.Form or Join a Study Group
组建或加入一个学习小组
A lot of people study better with others. If that's you, form a study group in your class or join one that's already organized.
许多人和伙伴一起学习效果会更好。如果你也是这样的话，可以在班上组建一个学习小组，或者加入一个已有的小组。
There are lots of benefits to studying in a group. You have to be organized. You can't procrastinate. You have to really understand something to be able to explain it out loud to someone else.
许多人在学习小组中受益良多。你得有条有理地进行，不能拖延时间。你要将学习的内容彻底消化，并能够向别人复述出来。
