We live in Bedford, a town near London. My father is a hard﹣working pilot, so he doesn't have much time to look after us.
When I was a kid, my mum liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular, when she had made breakfast food after a long, hard day at hospital.
On that evening so long ago, my mum placed a plate of eggs, sausage and terribly burnt biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone notices. Yet all my dad did was reach for a biscuit, smile at my mum and ask my brother and me how we had been doing at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him put butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mum apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I will never forget what he said," Honey, I love burnt biscuits."
Later that night, I went to kiss my dad good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me in his arms and said," Your mum is really tired after a hard day's work. Besides, a little burnt biscuit could never hurt anyone. We have been married for 17 years. She always cooks for me. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocked but into your own."

Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?
Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills---- how to work when you are in the exam.
Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then!
If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying , then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”
Take a short rest during your time of work and revision(复习). If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.
If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”----thinking that will relax you, and make you think of other things.
If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
