Is there an important exam right around the corner? You might be starting to fear, thinking that there's no way for you to get a good grade because of the little time left to study. This is something all students may worry about. But you should accept the fact that you have to take the exam no matter how much you want to avoid it.
Thankfully, there are several ways to help you get at least a passing grade. You may have a try.
Get yourself together
This might sounds like silly advice, but it's actually the most important. When you fear, you may lose control over your thoughts and actions. Even if you try to study, perhaps you won't get anything in your head.
Enjoy enough sleep
It's unbelievable many students have little sleep each night. That's not something to be proud of, especially if you're sleeping so little and still failing to do
all the things. Sleep isn't for the weak, but for the wise. Your brain needs enough rest. After a good night's sleep, you'll perform much better in the morning.
Don't fear
Once the test paper is in front of you, don't be afraid. Take a deep breath and start the exam with confidence. Just like when you were reviewing, put away the problems you' re having difficulty in and come back to them later. If you have time left, go over everything to make sure you haven't made any careless mistakes.
Do you feel worried sometimes? How do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these steps to deal with them:
Try to find out what you're worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. But sometimes, you might not. Try to find it out first；if you can't, you can ask for help.
Think of ways to make it better
You can do something to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.
Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
How do I get ready for class?
Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?
Do I have a good place to study at home?
Have I tried different ways of studying?
Ask for help
When you're worried, it can be helpful to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends or teachers for help.
Fast walking is the exercise between walking and race walking. A study shows that fast walking has become the most popular exercise in China and many people walk more than 5,000 steps a day. The results of the study are from QQ users. About 37% of the people choose fast walking as their favourite exercise; over 23% choose running and more than 14%choose riding bikes.
Fast walking and running are easy, cost little and work well, so they are popular. And many people would rather do exercise in nature than go to gyms (健身房). It's best to walk fast for at least 10 minutes at one time and walk up to 6,000 steps every day.
The study also shows that people in Guiyang, Guizhou love sports most. On average (平均), everyone there walks 5,941 steps every day. It seems that people in places with better environment and air are more willing to (更愿意) do sports.

Although we all want happiness and joy every day, sometimes we still feel blue. Most people can control this, but sometimes it can get worse and people fall into depression (抑郁).
In 2017, the WHO chose "depression" as the theme of World Health Day. This aimed to raise people's awareness (意识) of it. According to its recent report, about 322 million people had depression in 2016. This was more than 4 per cent of the world's population.
Depression is described as a mental disorder (精神疾病). It has several symptoms (症状) like sadness and losing of interest. In extreme cases, depression may lead to suicide (自杀).
There are three groups of people that are more likely to develop depression, according to WHO. One is old people, while another is women who are pregnant (怀孕的) or have just given birth. And young people are also one of the three groups.
In China, depression among young people is on the rise. Competitions, especially in education, can cause a lot of pressure.
Luckily, efforts are being made to solve this problem. Now several social organizations in China are trying hard to help those with depression. WHO also held the "Depression: Let's talk" campaign, aiming to make sure that people with depression seek and get help.

When you speak, write a letter, or make a call, your words carry a message. People communicate with words. A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears (眼泪) in your eyes tell others that you are sad. the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes".
For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door tells you whether to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of other signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? An artist can use his drawings to tell about the beautiful mountains, the blue seas and many other things. A writer writes books to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
