How to Live with Pressure

I used to feel pressured to do well in exams. I was so afraid of falling behind that I kept thinking about studying every minute of the day. The pressure made me out of breath. To my disappointment, the more worried I was about my studies, the less efficient I became. Later, I realized I just took pressure too seriously. So I tried taking things easy by taking part in various activities out of class, enjoying music and even daydreaming about fun things. To my delight, this worked! Gradually, I became less anxious about exams and began to take pleasure in my studies. Pressure cannot be avoided. What counts is how to deal with it properly, and above all, how to turn it into pleasure or challenge.

　　 Every year after the college entrance exam，the top-rated exam takers will attract

wide attention from all over the country．

[参考范文]

Every year after the college entrance exam, the top-rated exam takers will attract wide attention from all over the country. They accept various interviews. take part in different social activities and receive quite a lot of prize money as well. 　

　　 Some people say "yes" to this phenomenon. They think, for one thing, it can make more people care about education; for another, those top students can and do set good examples to the rest of the students.

　　 However, others hold opposite opinions about this, they believe that giving too

much attention to those top winners can do more harm than good to them. Meanwhile high marks don’t necessarily mean strong ability.

　　 In my opinion，it’s all right to give proper attention to those top winners, but we shouldn't pay too much attention to them. After all, exams and marks aren't everything.

Recently I have made an investigation on whether a model-test paper for Senior Three should be difficult or easy．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

[参考范文]

Recently I have made an investigation on whether a model-test paper for Senior Three should be difficult or easy．Opinions are divided on this matter．

Some students think that a difficult exam is just like a challenge．The harder, the better．It can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.

Others，however，are against a difficult exam．In their opinion，if it is very difficult，they may become discouraged and feel terrible about the coming College Entrance Examination．Besides，with an easy exam，they can get high marks and gain confidence．

I prefer it to be neither too difficult nor too easy, because if it is too easy, teachers will not know how we are getting on with our studies, but if it is too difficult, we will lose heart．

　 Increased job loss．What can we learn from it?

　 First, we should put all our heart into study to broaden our knowledge in various fields. Second, it is required that we should develop our abilities in many ways and improve our personal qualities to achieve our goals in this highly competitive society. Next , learning to cooperate with others is another thing we must do, because sense of teamwork contributes to success more quickly. Last but not least, as young generation in China.

At present I think only by working hard can our ability be fully embodied. I’ll spare no effort to study hard to achieve my goal.
