Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic”-that means it learns all by itself. 　　　　1　　　　 We need to train ourselves to actively take part in the learning process. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”.Listen to the outer voice. There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear. 　　　　2　　　　 If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker is saying, not on what their brain is saying.Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, ask questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the act of working out questions will help you achieve a higher level of understanding. 　　　　3　　　　Get to the truth. 　　　　4　　　　.
