标题：Easing the pressure
Everyone in modern society has to face some kind of competition. Students are no exception. For example, after every exam, students will compare their grades with each other. If someone’s score is worse than others, he or she will feel sad all day.
What’s waiting for them at home?
The cold faces of their parents? Very likely.
No TV ours? Probably.
No outing on weekends? Maybe.
More homework? Yeah, this is for sure. Plus a promise to do better next time.
School is supposed to be a place where students learn all kinds of knowledge. But it seems that more and more students don’t really mind what they learn at school. They just care about this question too much: Can I enter a key high school?
They just can’t stop thinking about this question because of their parents. It will be a “disaster” for the whole family if they can’t enter a good high school. Their parents will be awkward if their friends ask them about the school where their kids study. Parents believe that a good high school means a good university, and thus, it means a good job in the future.
Students have too many things to worry about besides study and they are made to study under great pressure.
So here comes the question: How can we ease our pressure? I’ve got some tips.
We can talk to our teachers often. We can listen to music, play games, surf the Internet, read books, etc. We should understand that everyone has pressure. This is a common thing and don’t take it too seriously.
