It’s ridiculous,” says Macy, 16, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Prepare your environment “You should make a revision plan that is realistic and that gives you enough time to study,” recommends Prof Turnbull “Students should eat healthy meals – oily fish and green vegetables contain chemicals that help you memory The revision environment is important Student ought to find a quiet place to revise They mustn’t leave things on their desk that can distract them, such as a cell phone And they should see their friends just a few times a week – and if possible, no testing and no emails How to revise “Make a list before you start revising each day Study the most difficult things early in the day, when your memory is fresher After you have finished revising, check the list – and then rest Exam stress wears off when you read a magazine, listen to music, or sports.” On the big day “If you start to feel nervous, breathe deeply for a minute Then skim all the exam questions Read all the instruction carefully How many questions you have to answer? Are there any sections that you don’t have to answer? Be prepared – then you won’t get any nasty surprises halfway through the exam.” When it is all over “Well done! You’ve done the best you could Don’t look at the questions with your friends, as this can make you worry more Concentrate on your next exam But take a rest first Answers According to Professor Turnbull, ……………………………… …… A more than 90% of students are stressed B most American teenagers have problems with eating C stress is worse than taking an exam D more than 25% of American teenagers suffer from daily stress E about 25% of teenagers are stressful Students find exams stressful because ……………………….…… A parents and teachers demand a lot B they have to too much revision C they can’t take exams a second time D schools don’t care about students’ schedules E failing can result in a terrible punishment To create a good environment for revising, Professor Turnbull suggests …………… A selling your cell phone B not working in your bedroom C not eating fish D removing distractions E finding quite a nice place Before you revise each day, …………………………………………… A rest for a few hours B make a list of fish and vegetables to eat that day C make a list of what you want to study that day D read a magazine or play volleyball E text or email your friends first After an exam, ……………………………………… A concentrate for five more minutes B think about the answers that you got wrong C relax for a while D call your friends E help the teacher collect the exam papers III Arrange these sentences to make a complete passage (10 points) a As they built bigger and bigger ships, they were able to sail further and further away b They don’t really mean that the world is getting smaller, of course c They found that as they sailed further away from their home countries, the world became bigger d Then men began to use ships to explore the world e Today there are no undiscovered countries left to put on the map, but there are many new worlds to discover out in space f But 2,300 years ago the Egyptians and the Greek thought that the world was very small and flat that around it was the ocean g We often hear people saying that the world is getting smaller h So they had to make new maps to show the countries that they found i And they discovered new countries that they didn’t know about Trang j What they mean is that with modern means of transport, we can now reach every part of the world very quickly 10 SECTION IV: WRITING I Choose the underlined word or phrase that needs correcting Write A, B, C or D on your answer sheet ( points) All Mike's friends felt sorry about him when he had to give up playing football A B C D We couldn’t find the man who car was blocking our driveway A B C D A large number of people was killed during the earthquake in China in May 2012 A B C D The dentist gave me a check up and then telling me I needed two fillings A B C D He warned me to make an eye on my luggage as that place was full of thieves A B C D II Rewrite each of the following sentences so that it means the same as the first one, beginning with the given words (5 pts) I find his handwriting very hard to read I have ………………………………………… ……………………… ……… He got down to writing a letter as soon as he returned from his work No sooner ………………………………………………………………….… Success depends on your hard work The harder ………………………………………………………………………………… … “If I were you, I wouldn’t accept his marriage proposal”, said Nam to Lan Nam ………………………………………………………………….……… No matter how hard I tried, I could not open the window Try ………………………………………………………… …………… … III: Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given Do not change the word given You must use between two and five words, including the word given Why isn’t the government informing people about this problem? informed Why about this problem by the government?
