It is common to lose focus during class, and the following methods can be helpful for improvement: 1. Increase interest: Cultivate interest in the course content and actively participate in classroom discussions to enhance motivation and engagement. 2. Train attention: Improve concentration through techniques such as meditation and deep breathing, reduce external distractions, and focus on the teacher's explanations. 3. Take notes: Listening while taking notes helps maintain focus and deepens understanding and retention of the subject matter. 4. Schedule rest appropriately: Ensure adequate sleep and rest breaks between classes to avoid inattention caused by fatigue. 5. Seek assistance: If the problem of losing focus is severe, seek help from teachers or doctors to identify the causes and work together to find solutions.
