Task 4 The following is an informal email to a friend. After reading it, fill in each blank with no more than three words. Carol, Hello! Thanks for your email-it was really great to hear from you! It's good to hear that you're working hard for your finals and I hope that you do really well. You asked me for advice, so I will do my best to share what I learned when I was in the same position as you last year. First of all,I found it important to look ahead and make a study timetable for the coming months. This helped me to concentrate on the areas where I felt I was weaker, and I spent extra time working on these. When I was preparing for my finals,I got up early every day, because I am always at my best in the morning. In the afternoons,I usually feel tired, so I took a break from 2o'clock in the afternoon until 4. During this time,I went outside and tried to do something active.I think that it's really important to keep fit and healthy when you're studying. If you're inside all the time, it can feel harder to concentrate. Finally,I found it really important to celebrate small successes. When I did well in a small test,I gave myself a small treat(for example I bought myself some chocolate!). You still have three months before your finals, so if you haven't already got into good habits you have plenty of time! Let me know how you get on. All the best. Donald 16.
