Whenever the exam season comes, stress may come along. Here are some 11 that have helped me and my friends through this season.
When the stress of exams is really hitting me, I stop and take a walk. I usually borrow my neighbor’s dog and 12 for about fifteen minutes. Many boys would simply choose to run for a while, or play ball games. Having some 13 drives away your stress easily most of the time.
And 14 you find music helpful, give it a go. Listening to your favorite songs will surely make you 15 . The best thing about this is that you don’t have to go 16 .
But if you are a book lover just like me, 17 a book you like for half an hour. Reading can take you to places you’ve 18 been. Putting yourself into a new world helps you forget your stress in this world for a little bit.
For sure, there’s nothing better than laughing. Laughing is the best medicine. It can really keep 19 off your mind! Very often I call my best friend and we 20 our good times or something funny, and I’m feeling better before I know it.
Remember many others also face the problem of stress just like you, and it is not something that cannot be dealt with.

One of the biggest problems is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born.

So how can you make things easier on yourself？It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you stay somewhere else late so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children.

31 My problem is that I am too shy. It’s not easy for me to talk with other people. I always stay away from my classmates at school.

She thinks all the subjects at school are boring. When she gets bored in class, she will draw pictures or even sleep. As a result, she is poor in all subjects. Anger is one of our common feelings.

Dear Mike， I often can't help arguing with my parents. But after that, I feel ashamed (羞愧的) of myself for getting angry. What can I do to control myself？——Linda
Dear Linda， For a long time, I've been troubled by the same problem. I remember a year ago, I started losing my hearing. The doctor said I needed more vegetables and calcium (钙). Since then, my mother has prepared vegetables for me every day and forced me to take calcium supplements (钙片). I hated both of them. I complained (抱怨). Only when I saw my mom's tears did I realize that I hurt her feelings. My illness already worried her, but my words and behavior made her feel even worse. Our parents are close to us, and when problems arise (出现), we should try to be in their shoes. If you are still angry, try to do something else, such as playing a game or running. Calm down and then talk to your parents to find a better way to solve them. I think if you can talk to your parents, you will get better communication with each other. ——Mike

Dear Linda，
Sorry to hear that you often argue with your parents. I think this is very common for many families. Don't worry, and things will get better. Here is some advice for you.
Firstly, since you know it is wrong to get angry with your parents, I suggest you talk with them calmly instead of losing control of yourself. More importantly, you need to think about how your parents have loved you, so you can feel thankful to them. This way, you and your parents may talk happily rather than arguing angrily.
In a word, I hope you can get on well with your parents. After all, you are the dearest to each other.
