With only two months left before the exam, Kai, a third-year junior high student, was under great pressure every day. His nerves were so tense that he would panic whenever he heard the alarm clock. His mood grew worse every day, and his grades were barely satisfactory, even though he followed a strict study routine. His mother felt sympathy for him, so instead of scolding him, she cooked his favorite dish. His sympathetic class teacher advised him to take a half-hour walk every evening to ease the tension. Two weeks later, he began to sleep better and said happily, 'Wow, I feel much better!'
距離會考只剩兩個月，國三的小凱每天都承受著很大的壓力。
With only two months left before the exam, Kai, a third-year junior high student, was under great pressure every day.
With + 名詞 + 過去分詞（With only two months left）表示附帶的狀況，left 是「剩下」。third-year junior high student 指國中三年級學生（國三）。be under pressure 是「承受壓力」，pressure 在這個意思下是不可數名詞，所以前面不加 a。
他的神經繃得很緊（tense），一聽到鬧鐘響就驚慌失措。
His nerves were so tense that he would panic whenever he heard the alarm clock.
nerve 當「神經」時常用複數 nerves，表示緊張不安。so + 形容詞 + that 子句是「如此…以致於…」。panic 當動詞是「驚慌」，過去式要加 k 寫成 panicked；這裡用 would panic 表示過去的習慣。whenever 引導時間副詞子句，意思是「每當」。
他的心情一天比一天差，成績也只是勉強令人滿意（satisfactory），即使他每天都過著嚴格的讀書作息。
His mood grew worse every day, and his grades were barely satisfactory, even though he followed a strict study routine.
mood 指一時的心情，grow + 比較級表示「變得更…」。satisfactory 是「差強人意、及格的」，語氣比 good 弱，不要和 satisfied（感到滿意的）混淆。barely 是「勉強」。even though 引導讓步子句，和 although 相近，語氣更強。routine 是「固定的作息、例行的做法」，follow a routine 是「照著固定作息過日子」。
媽媽很同情他，沒有責罵他，只是煮了他最愛吃的菜。
His mother felt sympathy for him, so instead of scolding him, she cooked his favorite dish.
feel sympathy for sb 是「同情某人」，sympathy 是不可數名詞。instead of 的後面接名詞或動名詞（instead of scolding him），意思是「而不是…」。favorite 是美式拼法，英式拼法為 favourite。
他體貼的導師建議他每天傍晚散步半小時，好減輕緊張的情緒。
His sympathetic class teacher advised him to take a half-hour walk every evening to ease the tension.
sympathetic 是「有同情心的、體貼的」。advise sb to + 原形動詞是「建議某人做…」。a half-hour walk 中的 half-hour 當形容詞用，不加 s。to ease the tension 是表示目的的不定詞，ease 是「減輕」，tension 是「緊張、不安」。
兩個星期後，他睡得好多了，還開心地說：「哇，我覺得好多了！」
Two weeks later, he began to sleep better and said happily, 'Wow, I feel much better!'
Two weeks later 是放在句首的時間副詞片語。begin to + 原形動詞是「開始…」；sleep better 的 better 是副詞 well 的比較級。Wow 是感嘆詞，後面加逗號或驚嘆號。much 可以修飾比較級，表示「…得多」。
These days, many teenagers feel tired and unhappy because of the competition for good grades, and some schools have started a weekly 'mood class' where students talk about their feelings. I think this is a wise idea.
First, many students keep their worries to themselves. A bad grade can fill them with horror, and the fear of disappointing their parents scares them more. It is a pity that most of them have nobody to talk to. In a mood class, everyone can participate, share their sorrow, and learn that others feel the same way.
Second, classmates can learn to sympathize with each other. When we hear a friend's story, we understand that a smile does not always mean happiness. Helping a friend also gives us real satisfaction.
Some people say that the class wastes study time. In my opinion, a calm student learns better, so the time is well spent.
現在許多青少年因為成績競爭而覺得疲累又不快樂，有些學校因此開始每週安排一節「心情課」，讓學生談談自己的感受。我認為這是個明智的主意。
首先，許多學生把煩惱藏在心裡。一個很差的成績就能讓他們驚恐不已，而擔心讓父母失望的恐懼更讓他們害怕不已。可惜他們大多沒有人可以傾訴。在心情課上，每個人都能參與、分享自己的悲傷，並發現別人也有同樣的感受。
其次，同學之間能學會互相體諒。當我們聽見朋友的故事時，就會明白微笑並不總是代表快樂。幫助朋友也讓我們得到真正的滿足感。
有些人說這堂課浪費讀書時間。依我看，心情平穩的學生學得更好，所以這段時間花得很值得。
本題是「現象＋看法型」。第一段先用 These days 開場，用自己的話敘述現象（青少年壓力大、學校開設心情課），緊接著用一句話亮出看法。第二、三段各用 First、Second 提出一個理由：學生把煩惱藏在心裡、同學之間學會互相體諒，每個理由都有一個具體的情境說明。最後一段先提出可能的反對意見，再回應並收尾，讓文章顯得公平而有說服力。注意敘述現象時不要只抄題目，改寫成自己的句子。
a weekly 'mood class' where students talk about their feelings
where 是關係副詞，先行詞是 class（可視為活動發生的地點），後面接完整子句，用來說明這是一種怎樣的課。這種限定用法前面不加逗號。
I know a café where we can study quietly.
我知道一間可以安靜讀書的咖啡店。
the fear of disappointing their parents
介系詞 of 後面要接名詞或動名詞，所以用 disappointing。the fear of + V-ing 是「害怕做了…（的事）」，也可換成 the fear of failing the exam。
He has a fear of speaking in public.
他很怕在大家面前說話。
we understand that a smile does not always mean happiness
that 子句當 understand 的受詞，說明「明白了什麼」。not always 是部分否定，意思是「不一定、不總是」，不等於 never。
She knows that money does not always bring happiness.
她知道金錢不一定能帶來快樂。
In my opinion, a calm student learns better, so the time is well spent.
so 引導結果：因為情緒平穩的學生學得更好，所以這段時間花得值得。the time is well spent 是被動語態，well spent 是「用得好」。
He studied hard, so he passed the exam.
他很用功，所以通過了考試。
First, many students keep their worries to themselves.
First、Second 用來依序列出理由，段落開頭放這類承轉語，讀者一眼就看得出文章的結構。
First, we need a plan. Second, we need more time.
首先，我們需要一個計畫。其次，我們需要更多時間。
