Question

The senior high school entrance examination (中考) is coming. Examination time is usually the most stressful period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s time to prove what you have learned. In such a period, it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus (专注), you can pass your tests easily.

When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my examinations. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not feel frightened! Stay calm, eat healthy food and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. So, what should you do? Plan a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. Get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally, eat healthy food.

It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students many think that the rest of their life depends on them. That’s not true. Instead, just think of them as another difficulty you will get through. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colors! High school is right around the corner!
