social studies

Be attentive in class, or when you are studying.
Look up the dictionary when you meet some new words/vocabulary.
Revise and study the topics day by day.Don't leave the topics for the other day.
If you don't understand, ask your classmates/teacher.
I think you've already promoted to F.1. Maybe you need some time to become adapted to this secondary school life. Actually social studies is not too difficult if you study hard. I passed every subjects in my secondary school studies.
