缩写下文（去掉定语从句、宾语从句、插入语） Self reflection means stopping the mad rush of activity
and calming yourself and your mind so your brain can evaluate(评价) the input it has already received.Some people prefer to do their self reflections mentally,while others keep a diary or written notes of some kind.Whether written or purely mental,the process is the same.
School textbooks are often divided into units of study.This can make it easier for someone who wants to begin the process of self relection to get started.Watch for the times when you complete a unit of study in any of the subjects you are learning:math,science,art,or any other topic.Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is over because there is some kind of test.Use these natural breaks as chances to stop and reflect.
Find a quiet place.This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other still working.If you are going to take notes,take out paper or you reflection diary.Write down some notes on things that you learned in this unit that you did not know before you began.Let you mind ponder(思考) on the notes you have written and make some connections.Next,think about the things that you still wonder about.
For example,maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem,but you're not sure when to use it.Writing down your questions will help you remember to coninue seeking answer the next time you are exposed(接触) to the same topic.
Self reflection is an essential skill for a successful student.If you have never taken the time to reflect,try it now.
