Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. When I have an exam, I am always too worried about it. So I’m not surprised when I find that my students worry about them. As a student, it’s impossible for you not to worry about exams at all, but at least you should try not to worry too much. Good students never study hard only a few days before an exam. They study hard all the time. Remember that it is impossible to learn everything at the last minute.
Then what should you do? If you start to study for each exam early, you will be able to say “How easy the exam is!” Then you will be more confident about yourself.
▲ Take a short rest during your study. If you are too tired, you can’t remember things well. Then you should have a short rest for about ten minutes after you study for an hour. Then you can remember things much faster.
▲ You’d better not stay up late before an exam. You may feel tired or want to sleep the next day if you stay up too late before an exam.
▲ Try to do something else to relax yourself. You can listen to music or have a walk with your good friends. They are both good ways to help you feel less worried or nervous before an exam.

3 . It's important to learn things about protecting environment. Here's a 4Rs rule for us.
·Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with waste in big cities, so it's necessary to reduce waste.
·Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don't use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.
·Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they're smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.
·Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it's better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

 In the COVID-19 pandemic(新冠肺炎疫情), people across the world are paying more attention to the health and happiness of each other. Some are trying to send messages of love and care in different ways. In China, an international communication program was started to send support to other countries. It has collected eighty-five letters written by students in Beijing to young people in pandemic-stricken(疫情重创下的) countries. They are full of love and care. These letters were made into a collection of short videos called “A Letter to Friends”. They were shown in the form of sand painting. It is reported that many hospitals abroad refuse all visitors to patients in order to stop the spread of COVID- 19. Patients feel lonely and worried, so some hospitals have created “Online Wish Wall” for the public. People are welcome to post their messages there to express their love and care. So far, the hospitals have received a great deal of encouragement from the public. The messages have helped the patients to cheer up without their loved ones by their side. The COVID-19 pandemic may make life difficult for people, but love and care will make life better. |

Show how plants drink water
Fill a glass with water and add a bright colour of food colouring(食物色素). Then place a long stemmed(长茎的)white carnation(康乃馨) in the coloured glass of water. Each day. Watch as the white carnation changes into the same colour as the food colouring. Children can see that plants drink water and where the water goes, and this is a favourite Earth Day activity for kids.
Leaf collection
This Earth Day project is fun and easy to do. First, take a walk in the field and children can collect lots of leaves. When collection is complete, kids can place the leaves in between two pages of white paper and then put them together to make a leaf book.
Feed the birds
Here you will find an exciting Earth Day activity that helps animals, especially birds. Find or purchase a large pinecone(松果). Cover the pinecone with butter and bread. Hang the homemade bird feeder on a tree near a window and watch the birds come to have their dinner.
Clean the park
