Ask me what kind of pupil I was at school.
What problems did you have when you were a pupil?
Were you lazy or hardworking?
Did you have any favourite subjects?
Did you get bad marks? How did you feel?
Did you miss your classes without any serious reason?
What would you advise your friend to do to pass his exams successfully?
It is easier to advise than to follow when you feel nervous, but anyway try not to panic, try to stay calm so that you could concentrate on learning.
Find a suitable place to work. Your desk, the kitchen table, the library, a cafe, but wherever works for you and be prepared to stay there. Stay away from your bed, however as it will increase the likelihood of accidental napping.
Get rid of fun distractions. Do what you have to make yourself concentrate. Put your phone in another room. Turn off the Wi-Fi. Work on paper. If you need to fact check something online, start a list to look up later.
Harder than it seems, this. Really MAKE yourself work.
If you get stuck, don’t stress. Make a note and you can come back to it later.
Snacks and food: your brain needs food to LIVE and LEARN! If you’re staying up all night have something substantial and quick.
Have a little study break listening to some music or stroking your cat. Don’t start feeling like the walls are closing in around you.
Sleep is for the weak, right? WRONG. You will perform much the next day if you brain has a chance to rest.
Look over your notes on the bus and staying calm as much as you can, walk to the exam hall.
Nowadays some young people complain that they have lots of problems at school. Do you agree with them?
I don’t think that it is true. We experience some problems at school, but our parents had the same problems as well. The problems are the same: low marks, bad behaviour, much homework. There is nothing new. We shouldn’t complain to everyone about them. We had better learn how to cope with them on our own.
CARD № 25
Let’s talk about tourism.
What are positive and negative effects of tourism? How to reduce the negative ones?
On the positive side, tourism provides employment for local inhabitants. What is more, the extra income means that local councils have more money to spend on expanding and improving their facilities, thus making them better for both visitors and residents. On the other hand, tourism can do a great deal of harm. For example, pollution is caused both by the increase in traffic and the litter that visitors leave behind.

Fortunately, there is one form of tourism which is completely environmentally friendly. It’s called ecotourism. Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine and relatively undisturbed natural areas intended as a low-impact alternative to standard commercial mass tourism. In other words, it is organized holidays that are designed so that the tourists damage the environment as little as possible, especially when some of the money they pay is used to protect local natural wealth.
What is the difference between travellers and tourists?
Being a traveller is more than just being a holidaymaker. A holiday is just a short time away, and it normally involves relaxation. Tourists stay inholiday resorts, not travellers. Travellers go for the experience and their journeys are usually much longer and more challenging. Travellers tend to avoid tourist traps and like to go off the beaten track to discover new places. Travel is an age-old phenomenon, but tourism is a relatively recent invention.
You friend is fond of travelling. Ask him about his experience
How often do you travel?
What countries have you visited?
What’s your favoutire means of travelling?
What are the advantages of package holidays?
What places would you like to be back to?
What can you recommend a person who wants to go on a hike for a week?
Find a Group or Club to Hike With (The fastest way to become a good hiker is to hike with other people because it’s fun and motivating.)
Find Comfortable Hiking Footwear
Buy a Local Guidebook and a Waterproof Map
Hike a Short Distance
Camp at an Established Campsite
Camp Near Other People
Plan Simple Meals
Practice Pitching Your Tent at Home before Your Trip Postpone your Trip if it’s Going to Rain (additional troubles: pitching a tent in the rain and packing it up wet, cooking food in the rain, and drying your wet gear).
Minimize the Amount of Gear You Bring (bring some comfort items and a first aid kit along on your first trips).
Look up Backcountry Regulations Before You Go (Do you need to filter your water? Do you have to pay a fee for using a tent site? Is there a privy at the tent site or will you need to dig a cat hole? Are campfires or open flames permitted? Are there restrictions on where you can camp?)
