暑假已经到来，学生们又自由了。暑假该怎么过呢？适当的放松之外，也应制定假期计划，让整个暑假不虚度。
Summer is here and for a lot of people it's a time to enjoy the sun, have a vacation and relax.
暑假来了，对于很多人来说，是时候享受太阳，度个假，放松一下。
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.
可是如果你得在这个暑假学习的话，制定学习计划表就很重要了，如此你便可以有充足的时间学习，还能享受你的休闲时刻。
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.
即使是没什么要学习的，这也是一段很好的时间去发展一门新技能、探索一个新的爱好或者从事一项今年年初没有时间从事的具有创造性的项目。
So when you're making your own study schedule - here are five tips to keep in mind.
因此，当你制作学习计划时，应该记住五点。
The first is to start early.
第一点，尽早开始。
Some students leave all their work until the last few days of the summer, then they panic about not having enough time.
有些学生把所有的任务都留到暑假最后五天才开始做，然后，他们就开始害怕时间不够。
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.
尽早开始实施计划。你越快开始，任务就会越快完成，之后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.
第二点，列一张待做事件表。
You can for example write everything in chronological order and separated by subject.
例如，你可以按时间顺序写下所有需要完成的事，然后按科目分类。
This way you can see everything you need to cover in the study plan.
如此一来，你就能知道学习计划需要覆盖的所有项目了。
The third tip is to decide how long it will take to complete all the things on your to-do list.
第三点，决定完成列表上所有待做事情所需的时间。
Start scheduling in each task around your summer plans.
在你的暑假计划中为每项任务安排时间。
If you have an extra hour you could brainstorm ideas for that essay you need to write.
如果有时间的话，你可以就你需要写的进行头脑风暴。
If you're spending two hours in the car - bring your notes and revise them.
如果你花了两小时在车上，那就把笔记本拿出来并且做出修改。
Before bed - read the flashcards that you made.
晚上休息之前，你可以读一读你做的抽认卡片。
The fourth tip is to plan it out.
第四点，把学习计划做出来。
Make a schedule using a calendar or Excel.
用日历或者Excel表格制作学习计划表。
It could be daily, weekly or monthly depending on which way you prefer to plan.
可以是日计划，周计划，也可以是月计划，这取决于你的喜好。
Include all the tasks you want to complete in that time period.
把所有你想在假期完成的任务都包含进去。
Design it to what suits you the best and make it something you want to follow.
使计划表完美适用于你自身而且你愿意去执行。
When you're doing this, plan your time using two kinds of time blocks: free time and fixed time.
当你开始做的时候，采用两个时间区块来计划：自由时间和固定时间。
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.
自由时间是你做其他假日活动和放松的时间。
固定时间是你做提前计划好的任务的时间。
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，你的固定时间可以是上午八点到下午一点，这时你需要百分之百专注于学习。
You might need less hours or more hours.
你可能不需要那么多时间也可能需要更长的时间。
That's up to you to decide and depends on the goals you've set up for yourself.
由你决定这些，时间长短取决于你为自己设置的目标。
The last tip is to stick with it.
最后一点，坚持。
The best way to actually follow your study plan is by being motivated to use it!
要想按计划表执行，最好的办法是得到激励！
Put it in a place where you see often. For instance near your bed or above your desk.
把计划表放在你经常能看见的地方。比如你的床旁边或者桌子上。
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，然后努力去完成。
Reward yourself for completing the things you need to do and cross them off your schedule.
如果完成了任务，就犒劳一下自己，还要在计划表上打钩。
However, don't be afraid to make changes to it.
但是，不要害怕改变计划。
If you can get something done sooner go ahead.
如果你可以早点完成计划，那就继续之后的计划。
But if you miss a day don't feel guilty about it.
但是如果有一天没有完成，也不必感到内疚。
Adjust your schedule and create a new plan.
调整你自己的计划表，然后制定新的计划就可以了。
Remember that this is your break and you don't need to work 24/7.
记住，这是你的休息时间，不必时时刻刻在学习。
Spend time with your friends and family, have fun, be spontaneous and relax.
花时间和朋友还有家人们相处、玩耍，自然一点，放松一些。
Don't feel bad about having some downtime - because you deserve it.
不要因为休息放松了就感觉不快，这是你应得的。
