Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?

Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills---- how to work when you are in the exam.

Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then!

If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying , then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”

Take a short rest during your time of work and revision(复习). If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”----thinking that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

There is a saying that 10% of the fishers out there catch 90% of the fish. One of the reasons for this is that many of us out there just simply do not know what to look for when we go fishing.

Finding a place for fishing is the most important of all. All beaches are different. Some are just flat shallow sandy bottoms and in most cases they have very little to offer the fisherman. Others may look as though they are flat and lifeless but have a drop off just off the shore (a gutter) and this is a good attractant for fish. If you don’t know whether you are in a good fishing place, you can check your surroundings. For example, if you see other people catching fish or have caught some, then it might be a good place to fish.

However, remember patience is very important while fishing. Being quiet is nearly as important as being patient. Noise can scare fish away or make them stop eating the bait(鱼饵). Conversation is OK, but jumping or running is not.

Fish may hit the bait, so it’s difficult for you to judge if they eat it. If you see the bobber(浮标) go under the water, it usually means the fish has taken the bait in its mouth. Then it is time for you to pull your pole out of water quickly.
