4. a. What sport are exams compared with? Do you think it's a good comparison?

b. Complete the script of the recording with the sports words.

Alix: It's normal to feel a little worried before an exam. Some people go into a cold sweat, some say it's all right, and some even say they're not bothered. But we all seem to feel a little different when we're actually in the exam room.

Eliot: So the first thing to remember is that it's normal to feel a little weird, and if you prepare for the experience, the easier it is. You could think of it as some sort of test, like a football match, and so prepare like professional (1. ...).

Alix: They don't just start the (2. ...) cold. They sort out everything they need days beforehand. It's all laid out, and they have spares of everything.

Eliot: So you could make a list of everything you need, such as blue and black pens, a ruler, a pencil and rubber – even bus money.

Alix: And they'll study the other team for hours on end, watching videos and even going to other (3. ...).

Eliot: So listen to all the audio clips, go through old English exams and questions, and look in revision books or on internet sites, like GCSE Bitesize. These will show you exactly what you're up against.

Alix: Then professional footballers get to the (4. ...) early, so make sure you plan your day and you've got lots of time – this is one of the days when you cannot be late.

Eliot: And they'll walk round the pitch. Some will go round several times. But why?

Alix: Many (5. ...) want to get a feel of the place – they will be imagining themselves playing, and imagining themselves doing really well.

Eliot: And you should do the same before the day of the exam. The exam will probably be somewhere you know well, like the school hall or a (6. ...). But when it's set up for an exam it will look very different – there will be rows and rows of desks – and it'll feel very different to normal.

Alix: So try to go in the room beforehand, when it's been set up for the exam. It might be locked, or out of bounds, so ask your teacher to take you round – they can hardly say no if you tell them why.

Eliot: And once you're in, sit down quietly and go through the exam in your head. For example, you know you'll have a question on writing to inform, explain or describe. So imagine a question in front of you, a question that you can do really well. So when you leave the room, you know exactly how it feels, you can do this, and you can do it well.

Alix: It might feel a bit silly, but it seems to work for lots of people and many professional footballers spend time imagining taking (7. ...), or corners, or scoring (8. ...). There's even a simple trick that might work with you too.

Eliot: You have to think of a time when you felt great – you did something really good, and everyone knew how good you were. Think of this time, and touch your index finger and thumb together lightly. Try to do this a few times each day, thinking about successful things each time. And when you get in the exam, touch your finger and thumb together again – it can remind you about how good you are.

Alix: So try to prepare for the exam. Don't worry about it – do something about it instead. Look through old questions. Revise for the exam. Visit the room a few days beforehand. Imagine being successful. Sort out what you need for the exam day beforehand. Go early. And keep positive – think about good things.

4. a. С каким видом спорта сравниваются экзамены? Считаете ли вы это хорошим сравнением?

Ответ: Exams are compared to a football match.
