When your teenager is about to take important exams, you may feel as though you're living with a stranger.   71  So what can you really do to help?

Trust your teenager

First off, though it may seem easier said than done, trust your teenagers. Their study skills might differ from your own and it might be attractive to offer advice, or suggest additional hours slaving away under the lamp, but try to bite your tongue.  72  Turning revision into even more of a bore than it already is won't help your child's state of mind.

Let them relax — within reason

Relaxing is a key part of the revision process. Though going out every night isn’t to be recommended, do recognise that your teenager needs some time out. Keep a copy of the exam timetable and your child's revision timetable in a family area - maybe pinned to the kitchen wall — so that you know when your child is planning to go out and what work he or she will have done before then.  73  

 74

Ensure that you and your child share realistic targets — both small-scale, in terms of what they plan to revise every day, and long-term, for example what grades they hope to achieve. Unrealistic expectations will add to the stress in the household - and are sure to end in disappointment.

Don’t ask too many questions — but be supportive.

When you know your child is feeling the stress of exams, it's natural for you to ask about what in particular is causing the worry.  75  It will be enough if you remind your teenager that you’re happy to listen to them if they want to talk something through. Don't be angry if they choose to offload on to a sympathetic friend of the family or a teacher rather than chatting to you — sometimes it's easier to talk to someone who is a little further removed from the situation.

A. Be realistic.

B. Be confident.

C. Your child is only too well aware of how important these exams are.

D. Even students who don’t have a private study area remain organized.

E. But remember that too many questions will get interpreted as “complaining”!

F. For the parents of a teenager, it's difficult to do anything right at the best of times.

G. Scheduled free time gives your teenager something to look forward to once they’ve got through the day’s work..

William Shakespeare is the most famous playwright (剧作家). Although he died in 1616, people still go to see his plays. Among the most popular are Ｒｏｍｅｏ ａｎｄ Ｊｕｌｉｅｔ, Ａ Ｍｉｄｓｕｍｍｅｒ Ｎｉｇｈｔ’ｓ Ｄｒｅａｍ and Ｈａｍｌｅｔ — the story of a prince who struggles to respond to the crimes around him.
Shakespeare, who was born in 1564, was an actor as well as a writer. Most of his ideas for plays were taken from history, people’s conversation, ancient stories, and also from other writers. He wrote not only about kings and queens and princes, but also about friends and ordinary people. He wrote about the cruelty of war and the bravery of heroes, as well as about jealousy, joy, hate, ambition and love. His stories live on. The tragedy Ｒｏｍｅｏ ａｎｄ Ｊｕｌｉｅｔ was reborn as the musical Ｗｅｓｔ Ｓｉｄｅ Ｓｔｏｒｙ and more recently as the movie Ｒｏｍｅｏ ａｎｄ Ｊｕｌｉｅｔ with the wonderful performance of Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
He invented a number of great characters: powerful magicians, thrilling witches, smart women and both wise and wicked men. He also invented some great phrases. If you’ve ever said, “Oh, for goodness sake!” you can thank Shakespeare for that. “To be, or not to be: that is the question,” Hamlet says. “Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it is morrow,” says Juliet to her Romeo.
Don’t be surprised if you don’t understand everything when reading Shakespeare or watching one of his plays because the meanings of many words have changed over the years. And Shakespeare’s characters speak in poetry, so their speeches can be complicated.
It does help to find out a little bit about the story before reading a Shakespeare play. It’s worth the effort. As Shakespeare wrote, “All the world is a stage.” And in his plays you’ll find that an entire world is waiting for you.
