Dear Donna, Help! I’m a 15-year-old high school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an entrance exam (升学考试). To prepare, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really upset. I can’t sleep. What can I do? Yours, Mary |
Dear Mary, Many students have the same problems as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress (压力) 1. Make a study plan, but don’t study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days, than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night. 2. Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outdoors and walk. Doing exercise is a good way to reduce stress. 3. Don’t eat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee. Eat food high in Vitamin (维生素) B (such as eggs, milk, vegetables and rice). These give you energy and help you think clearly. 4. A study partner (伙伴) can help you practice for the test. When your’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too. I hope these suggestions can be helpful. Yours, Donna |

【推荐1】Parents are our first and most important teachers. But sometimes we don't get on well with them. Sometimes we don't like to take their advice--We even rebel (叛逆) against them.
