"This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,na school head teacher.

For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down.【1】Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else. 【2】Here are some advice: Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam. Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best. Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food. You need exercise to work well.【3】 Stop thinking about the future and failing. If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done.【4】 To this advice, we could add: If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much.【5】Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things. A. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. B. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. C. How to get through exams? D.You cannot change what you have written! E.Walk, run and play sport—whatever you enjoy. |
