When it comes to preparing for exams, different countries have their own ways. What do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country?
In China, we have some interesting traditions for some important exams. We often eat zongzi, the word “zong” sounds like “success” in Chinese, which means getting high scores. What's more, some students prefer to wear red clothes or socks because the colour red is the symbol of joy and good luck in Chinese culture. In recent years, it has become popular for mothers to wear qipao (a traditional Chinese dress) to wish their children to get victory in the exam, as its name carries the meaning “qi kai de sheng”.

In South Korea, we give our friends sticky rice (糯米) cakes and candies before exams. This is because the word “stick” sounds like “pass” in Korean. People believe that eating sticky food helps students “stick” to success and pass their tests. I remember when my best friend had a big test, I bought his favourite sticky rice cakes to cheer him up. This tradition makes us feel warm and confident during stressful exam time.

In the US, we have different habits before exams. Some wear “lucky” clothes, like special socks or underwear (内衣) for good luck. Others do simple things, like doing exercise or eating snacks that they think are lucky.
