/   Before an exam, revision is very important The reason is that when you get nearer to the exam, it's easier to remember important information. But don't do too much; sleep, exercise, and relaxation are also very important
v A good daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days before an exam, try to get up quite early and be ready to work by nine o'clock, because that is when exams often start.
ď   On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, and pack two of everything you need: two pens, two pencils, two rubbers, etc. Arrive at the exam room in good time, but not too early, because seeing other people looking nervous can make you feel more nervous.
*f In the exam room, sit down, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and try to relax.
When you look at the test paper, spend a short period reading all the instructions and questions. Decide which questions you want to answer, and how much time to spend on each one.
v Answer your best question first, because this will give you more confidence. Always make a plan of the important points before you write your complete answer.
v Iťs a good idea to finish ten minutes before the end of the exam, to give you time to go back and check your answers.
Remember to write clearly.
• •
Don't look at the people around you, or at the clock. If you need something to look at, choose something in the room, such as the window.

A large group of seven-year-olds are being interviewed to see what they think the future will be like. What kind of cars will people drive? What kind of hairstyles will they have?
And what kind of future do they want? We asked our own group of seven-year-olds what they thought.

the Canary Islands

I want to go.

on wheels
Henry: A house under the sea

the moon.
