Do you want to do well in exams? Sometimes your knowledge is not enough, you also need good strategies. Here are some for you:

Before you answer the questions, if you feel a little nervous, take a few deep breaths to help you relax.

Always read the question carefully and make sure that you understand it. Read it a few times if possible.

Find out how much each question is worth or how many points you need.

If it asks to give one answer, only write one.

If there is a difficult question, don’t worry. Go on to the next question and come back to it if you have time later.

Try not to leave questions unanswered when you finish the test. Sometimes a guess may get your points.

When you finish, go back and check your answers. You will need to check your writing or spelling mistakes.

A Great Challenge

My mother had been a true inspiration to me and changed the way I look at life. Since my birth she has made it evident that I would become something, that I would be one of the great ones. She has taught me that I can do anything if I put my _______ to it.

As a young boy, I struggled (奋斗,努力)to achieve tasks that came easily to most. I had _______ in writing, reading and especially speaking. I did not talk the way normal kids did and did not respond to questions or stay alert to my surroundings. My reading was poor even with teachers helping me, and my speech was _______ to understand. My writing was not at the level it should have been. Even simple things like knowing my left from my right or being able to snap my fingers were problems.

My mother observed all my challenges and, as a professor with a Ph. D. , decided to _______ the situation early in my development. She did not want me to struggle alone. After a while, we did indeed conquer (击败,战胜)all the problems that had _______ me. She spent hours every day teaching me everything I needed to know, determined to help me learn.
