首字母完形专练一 Anne White studied at Colorado University. She first had a problem taking tests when she began college. “I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks 1 a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I was unable to think properly because of nervousness and fear. I couldnt think of the answer. My low grades on the test did not show what I know to the teacher.” Another student had the same 2 . He said, “My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was 3 . My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldnt write them down.” These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety (焦虑). Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it 4 does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. At present, test anxiety has been known as a real problem, not just an excuse or false explanation of lazy students. Experts are trying to help those students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some university, students take tests to measure (测量) their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is 5 , the students can take short courses to help them deal with their nervousness. These courses teach students how to 6 their bodies. Students are trained to become calm. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work 7 .

The bad news, of course, is that there is no e 1 way to do this. It takes work. Improving your English, like getting better at anything else, means lots of practice. I think you already know enough words and grammar in English to make sentences and to understand English, and the problem you have is as the problem all Chinese students have when they learn English. You go to English class a couple of times a week and the r 2 of the time you speak Chinese. If you come to Canada, your English would improve very q 3 because you would use it all day, every day. Its just practice. To improve your writing in English, you should do t 4 things. First, you should try to read English as much as possible. It doesnt matter what you read, so pick something that interests you. Reading English will show you how English words are used together, how English speakers express themselves and so on, so you can learn a lot from that. Then you should practice writing. Ask your teacher if you can get extra assignments and write things like short stories. Your teacher can show you where you make mistakes and how to c 5 them. You can also write more letters to English speakers on the Internet (I will be happy to exchange letters with you if that will help). Dont worry if you make mistakes b 6 that is how you learn. You say you can not obey your plans. In English we say, “Plan the work, work the plan.” You need a plan and then you need to follow your plan to improve.I hope these ideas are u 7 . I wish you luck, and if you want to write to me I will be happy to try to help you. We can talk about China, about Canada or anything else you like.
