actual taking of the exams themselves which is so awful,although of course they play a great part in the general feeling of fear;no,the most awful time comes at the beginning and at the end.The beginning is the time when you are meant to revise.Revision is a terrible time both if you revise and if you dont.Firstly,if you revise,concentrating on a pile of A4 pages covered in your untidy handwriting,you suddenly wish not only that you had written everything down a bit more clearly,but also that you had started revision a lit earlier.However,once resigned to the fact that you cant put the cock back,you prepare to give yourself up to full and thorough revision,putting aside all else in life.第11页Analysis of the text lOneofthemostfrighteningandawfulexperiences-themostawfultime(Para.1)lThebeginning-therevision-thetwosituations(Para.2-3)1.Firstly,itishardtoconcentrateonapileofA4pagescoveredinuntidyhandwritingYourattentionwandersawayeasily;2.Secondly,lackingofdeterminationandwillpower,sufferingmostseverecomplexes.lTheendoftheexamprocedure-awaitingtheresults(Para.4)第12页Of course,such a hard decision is absolutely impossible to carry out,although you do try to fool yourself that you can undertake it easily.You let your attention wander away easily,finding you have a sudden,irresistible urge to tidy up your room,even though it has looked like a pigsty for the last three months.When you are tempted away from your studying by such strange amusements,your are moving onto the territory of the second group concerning revision-those who know they need and should get down to hard studying,but somehow have neither got the determination nor the willpower to force themselves to sit down for hours on end digesting the delights of pure mathematics.Now,this second group in which we have all found ourselves from time to time suffer the most severe guilt complexes over their lack of revision.Teenagers Nightmare第13页Although they are aware that they should be studying they cannot somehow bring themselves to the awful task;temptation has won over what they know they should be doing,and in a way they suffer far more than those who eventually find the willpower and determination to sit down and revise.The end of the exam procedure,which is in some cases worse than the revision period,is awaiting the results.While waiting you cant do much about your own school work.You feel that it is very hard to resist the temptation to light a fire with all your notebooks and files instead of logs,but at the same time you feel that you had better keep a your notes safe in case you discover you have failed and need to re-take all your subjects.Teenagers Nightmare第14页Teenagers NightmareThe worst day of all is the one when you know that the postman is to deliver the letter(always in a brown envelope to make it look more official and frightening)which will inform you whether the academic world(and society in general)considers you a failure or a success,whether you can get the job you want,or go to the university you wish to attend.That envelope is to contain the key to your future and,perhaps most importantly of all,to inform you whether you need to suffer again the horrors of exams.第15页e.g.1.Thecountryhasgonethroughtoomanywars.gothroughfireandflood2.Wewentthroughfivepintsofmilklastweek.3.Ialwaysstartthedaybygoingthroughmymail.go trough
