Question

When I came into my classroom on the first school day after the summer holidays, I didn’t find anything different. Boys were still   1   about basketball and computer games excitedly. Girls were asking about each other’s holidays. The classroom was as   2   as it was before, but the class name had changed - Class 1, Grade 9.

I used to think that Grade 9 was so   3   from me. But now it’s here, in my classroom, in my books and in my mind. This is a year of study, exams, challenges（挑战）and pressure. I felt relived (安慰的) that I didn’t see many students  4  exercises without stopping. Everybody was  5  as they usually did, although they were in Grade 9. So I didn’t feel any pressure.

I’m afraid of pressure. I know it’s unnecessary  6  a student to be worried all the time, but I can’t help   7   nervous when I’m having an exam. I must try to change this.

Now I always tell  8  , “Don’t worry, the result is not important. Try your best in the exam. Everyone has   9   at school. Don’t be afraid of such a normal thing.” This makes me feel better.

Too much homework, too   10   exams, too much time spent studying. But I never feel that I’m unlucky. Every student experiences Grade 9, and I will try my best.
