    Many students nowadays are used to do other things while studying, such as listening to music, using phones, and surfing on the Internet. Some people believe that is not good for students while others disagree. From my opinion, it brings more harm than benefits to students.

    Some students point out that doing other things when they are studying has certain merits. For instance, they believe that listening to some soft music can help them relax and release the pressure from study. In addition, using their phones and spending time on the Internet help them to study better. They can look up for the words they do not know on the online dictionary. They can also watch study videos to solve their problems in study. However, it is not always so ideal when students do others things when they study at the same time.

    In fact, for the most time, student suffer from multitasking when they try to learn at the same time. Multitasking do not promote the ability to focus. For example, listening to soft music is indeed relaxing, however, when student need to focus on the math question they need to solve, music would merely be disturbing. If they want to enjoy the music and relax, they have to shift parts of attention from study; if they are focusing on the questions, they cannot enjoy the music and there are no relaxing effects. Therefore, it is meaningless for the to listen to music at same time when they study. Students cannot enjoy the music nor can they finish their math study well.

    In a nutshell, multitasking while studying may have certain merits for students. Nevertheless, in overall consideration, doing other things while students are studying is not good for them.
