How to relax

Hi 4F,
These tips are taken from 'English At Work'.
Hope you find these useful. =)

This is often the opposite of how you are feeling when under pressure.
This is exactly what you have to do.
In order for your voice to remain calm and for your brain to "think", you have to be as relaxed as possible.
1. Take deep breaths. Feel your diaphragm rise and fall as you inhale and exhale.
2. Be positive! Take a second and give yourself a positive and affirming message.
3. Clench invisible muscles (thighs, biceps and feet) for a few seconds and release.


Other than how to relax, there is some tips on English writing. Take a look!
What is the difference between spicy & hot?
Can they be used interchangeably?
'Hot' has at least two meanings.
One of those is the same as 'spicy'.
Unfortunately, it also refers to temperature, so a meal can be 'hot' (temperature) without being 'hot' (spicy).

Sometimes it is necessary to indicate which of the meanings is intended and then you might hearsomeone say:

'This chicken is spicy hot.'

Take care and all the best for the English paper tomorrow! Remember to check and check and check through the paper. Do not leave any stones unturned as this is the first and last time you will be attempting this paper. Check for tenses, check for spelling, check for missing pages, check for punctuation, check for correct name and register number written and shaded properly. Check that shading is done properly and errors erased clearly.

Ok, I think I've done a fair bit of nagging, but you know what Ms Seow means. These little things add up to a lot, actually. Persevere!!!
