Do you usually feel nervous, anxious or scared during tests, Jane?
I used to.
How did you get over it then?
Believe it or not, tests don't mean that we should do extra work. Teachers and schools give us tests for very important reasons. Knowing it is very important for you.
I see, but sometimes it can't help.
Giving a test is a way for a teacher to see what the students have learned, and to find out who is having trouble. Then he can decide on the teaching plan.
That is what our head teacher often says in class. But I still can't control myself sometimes.
Sometimes schools have to prove that the students are learning and one way to do this is to have tests.
You are right.
And tests make sure that students do their homework.
Thanks. I feel much more comfortable now.
You can make it if you try hard.
