Dear students, today I'll give you some advice to help you prepare for the exams next week. Now, while you're studying, eat food that gives you energy. Don't eat sweets or drink cola. Sugar won't help you study but fruit will.
Keep a positive mind. It is easier to study when you are positive and relaxed. Now, if you feel nervous, have a little break. Go out for a walk nearby. Don't try to learn everything. Just choose the‘ important' things, the things that'll get you the most points in an exam.
You should first learn the main ideas and don't worry too much about the details. If you have time, come back later and read the details. Make notes of these key points and read them, then cover them up and try to remember all the points. It might be boring, but repeating helps you remember. Use past exam papers to study. They will help you understand what kind of questions come up. Take regular breaks while studying. A five-minute break every half an hour is usually enough. Get some fresh air and stretch your arms and legs. Drink a glass of water too.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll all do your best. Now go back to your classroom and I will give you the geography lesson in twenty minutes.
