Answer

A Ten-minute Break

As the midterm examination is drawing nearer and nearer, we have felt the pressure from our heavy learning tasks. For a senior high school student, time seems much limited. As a result, more and more students try to study all day long，even during the ten-minute break, which makes them even more nervous.

Personally speaking, the ten-minute break is designed for us to relax our brains and stretch our muscles. Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. I always listen to music during the ten-minute break, so my ten-minute break is always pleasing. When the next class begins, I feel refreshed.

In conclusion, the ten-minute break is very important because it can make us refreshed.
