Questions 21-27 are based on a letter from Najihah to Anisah.
Dear Anisah,
Nice hearing from you after such a long time. It was last December and now it is
May already. How is everything? As for me, I am busy preparing for my examination which
is in June. It is just around the corner.
By the way, I know that you mid-year examination is coming soon too and you must
be as busy as I am. I remember you asking me a fortnight ago for tips on how to prepare
for examination during our last phone call. I believe these tips should be helpful. First,
look after your health. Eat balance meal and avoid junk food altogether. Also, drink plenty
of water and get sufficient sleep. This means that you should not study at the eleventh
hour as studying at the last minute would not help you. Learn to pace your revision with
regular rest periods.
Next, form a study group with friends you can work with. By doing this you can
learn to help each other overcome your weakness. This could be done through the sharing
of notes, exchange of ideas and discussions. In class, make sure you take down short
notes for your own revision at home. Borrow books not only from the school library but
also from the public library. Last but not least, avoid online chatting and gaming. Give up
your habit of spending hours on Facebook and other social networking sites. Concentrate on
your studies from now if you want to succeed.
I hope the advice would be useful. Take care and call me if you need any help.
Your friend,
Najihah
