A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day. You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam. If you are taking an English exam, don’t only learn rules of grammar.
Try to read stories in English whenever you can. A few days before the exam you should start going to bed early. Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper. Try to understand the exact meaning of each question before you pick up your pen to write. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answers. Correct(改正) the mistakes if there are any and make sure that you have not missed anything out.

TV is very popular in the world today. It presents a vivid world to us. We can watch exciting football games at home or “travel” to Beijing. After a full day’s work, we can relax ourselves by watching TV. Some entertainment programs can really help us to have a good time. They can refresh our mind and give us a new way of life. And we can also learn something from these kinds of TV programs.
However, watching TV too much can be harmful. It hurts our eyes and wastes our time. Some people will feel terrible after they watch TV for a whole night, because they do nothing that evening. If there is a program you like in the evening, maybe you will stay up late to watch it. So the next day you will get up late and have no energy for a whole day bleary-eyed（睡眼朦胧的）.
