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.

When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are，these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself．
1) Look in the mirror (镜子) and say to yourself，“I am a special person and there's no one  in the world like me．I can do anything!” It may not sound so good，but it really works !
2) Do something nice for someone．Helping others always makes you feel good．
3) Smile! Be friendly to people you meet．Look for the good things in your friends and family．
4) Learn something new! Do you always want to decorate（装饰）your own room or learn how to swim? Go for it! New challenges (挑战) are fun and give you a sense of accomplishment when you have finished．
5) Read and start a diary（日记）．Turn off the TV and let your imagination (想象) fly! Write down your thoughts，dreams or anything you want! Writing always helps to express（表达）your feelings．
6) Stay with your family．We all need our family time．Talk with your Mum or Dad or maybe even your cousin．
