Exercise 2. Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements that follow are True (T) or False (F).
Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to please everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.
There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to stay healthy and full of energy.
1. Nowadays, it is important to succeed at school. __T____________
2. Many young people take on only some tasks to please everyone. ______F________
3. Young people may not suffer from stress because of homework assignments. ___F___________

5. Physical exercise is a better way to deal with stress. _______T_______
Exercise 3. Fill each blank with a suitable word in the box to finish the passage.
You can do a few things to make homework less (1) ________stressful______. First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, (2) ______and________ don’t be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete, so you can (3) ____plan__________your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have (4) ______libraries________ that are specifically designed to allow students to study (5) ______or________ get homework done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t (6) ____finish__________ your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to (7) ______devote________ more time to do homework.
No one is expected to (8) ____understand__________ everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. But if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone (9) __explain____________ something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another (10) ____student__________. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
