Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key wellness / self-care / productivity strategies (study & learning plan)

  • Use vacation to “reverse” grades by improving English in a structured way

    • Treat summer vacation as the time with the biggest opportunity for grade change.

  • Daily vocabulary goals + the most important habit: review

    • Memorize 50–100 words per day (adjust down if needed).
    • If you struggle: memorize 50–70 words/day based on your level.
    • Always review yesterday’s words the next day—don’t only add new words.
    • Reason: without review, after ~a week you’ll likely forget them completely.

  • Memorize multiple meanings of a word (not just one definition)

    • Learn several Korean meanings per English word.
    • Example: “address” can be a noun (address) and a verb (to address).
    • If too hard at first: learn 2 meanings at a time (e.g., one noun + one other use).

  • Prioritize reading comprehension quality over quantity

    • Don’t just “read a lot”—analyze the text.
    • Recommended method when reading:
      • Identify the topic
      • Highlight key sentences
      • Summarize each paragraph into one line

  • Stop the biggest common mistake: solve → move on

    • After answering, train the habit of thinking:
      • Why your answer is correct
      • Why the other options are wrong
    • Focus on building reading comprehension, not only sentence-by-sentence interpretation.
    • Understand how:
      • the text unfolds
      • the author’s example choices
      • the overall main claim
    • Even if unfamiliar words exist, students who understand structure/logic can still find correct answers.

  • Use a workbook/text that teaches problem-solving by “type”

    • Recommended book: Woongjin CSAT Training Type Basic Edition
      • Helps build a reading standard.
    • Why it’s recommended:
      • Teaches approach strategies by question type
      • Trains structural reading (flow + organization), not just literal sentence interpretation
      • Includes practice that prompts you to find/write key sentences
      • Has a section where English passages are summarized in Korean
      • Difficulty is positioned as suitable for grades 4–5 beginners (no prior knowledge)

  • Recommended study routine (productivity schedule)

    • Morning (when brain is fresh):
      • 30 minutes vocabulary
      • 1 hour English reading
    • Lunch or dinner:
      • ~30 minutes vocabulary
    • Total: ~2 hours/day
    • Mock exams:
      • Do past mock exams about 2 times per week (e.g., Monday + Thursday)
    • Other days:
      • Study vocabulary + reading (~1 hour each), as above.
    • Key productivity rule:
      • Consistency every day matters more than studying long hours in one day.
