High school students in Victoria, Australia have been offered Education Department advice ahead of their written exams. The advice has been developed by the state Education Department together with a mental health organization. “Exams can be a stressful time and the government is ensuring that students have the support they need to get through the period,” Education Minister Martin Dixon said.

Students are advised to breathe deeply through their noses as a relaxation technique, to have a healthy diet, and to improve their mood by exercising. The importance of sleep, staying connected with family and friends, and planned study times are emphasized. Students will also learn “positive self-talk”. “The positive way that you talk to yourself can be used for greater confidence and reducing stress, and can be a very effective way to prepare yourself for a big test or exam,” students are told.

The tips encourage young people to speak up if they are having difficulty, and remember that life will go on beyond exams. At the same time, students with serious problems are urged to seek professional help.

Answer 1

【答案】One possible version:

Local authourities in Victoria, Australia have provided their students with practical advice in a bid to help them to better handle the stress from the approaching exams.

We can run into stress in our life on various occasions. As for me, maths used to cause a lot of trouble, and has long been a headache. Despite the large amount of effort and time I devoted, I just kept messing up in almost all the exams. It was so painful and depressing that I even started to believe maths was my thing.

Thanks to my parents and my maths teacher, whose support and advice have increased my confidence over the past several months. I have worked out a detailed plan to help manage my time and have tried to adopt useful learning strategies. Hopefully, with consistent efforts in class and regular revision at home, I will catch up and make steady progress.

【解析】 本文是应用文，要求学生怎样应对压力谈自己的看法，故应用一般现在时和第一人称。

文章使用了一般现在时兼有灵活使用连词等，且使用得当，足见作者语言功底。文中使用了whose引导的定语从句，to help…不定式短语作定语，devoted过去分词作定语等；高级短语暗示for，catch up，in a bid to等；还使用了hopefully等插入语的灵活运用等让文章一气呵成，堪称佳作。
