Passage 1: When the College Entrance Examination is approaching, many students feel stressed anxious. Here I'd like to give some advice. I hope it can help ease your anxiety. Firstly, please keep an active and optimistic attitude. Attitude is everything. Too much anxiety will have a bad effect on our health. It also makes it difficult for us to concentrate on our study. Secondly, to prepare for the examination, we'd better make a proper plan and keep to it. Try to overcome the difficulties we come across. Turn to our teachers for help. Finally, when we are tired, we can do some sports, listen to music or have a good sleep to get relaxed. In a word, relax yourself and be the best of what you are.
