Dear Mary,
Many students around the world have the same problem as you.Here is some advice to help you deal with
the stress.Good luck !
1.Make a study plan for yourself,but don't study too much in one day.You can remember more by stud-
ying 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 outside and walk.Doing exercise is a great way to
reduce stress.
3.Don ’ teat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee.Eat foods high in Vitamin(维生素)B(for example,eggs,milk,
green vegetables and rice).These give you energy and help you think more clearly.
4.A study partner(同伴)can help you practise for the test.When you ’ re worried about the exam,you can
talk to your partner.This can reduce stress,too.
Yours,
Donna
