What do you think is the best way to pass an examination? The only way out is to work hard every day in the school year. If you are lazy(懒的) for most of the year and work hard at your lessons only a few days before the exam, you are sure to fail. If you want to get good marks(分数) in the English exam , try to read stories in English every day. Speak English whenever you can. Before you start the exam, read carefully the question, try to understand the exact(确切的) meaning of each. When you have finished your exam at last, read over your answers, correct(纠正) the mistakes if there are any and be sure that you have not missed anything out. How can we do well in an exam?
A. We should study hard in the school year.
B. We’d better go to bed a bit earlier before the exam.
