毕业年级临近考试，同学们也许会产生紧张感和焦虑情绪，因此，为了疏解学生压力，做好考前心理调节，初中部邀请罗予然老师为六、九年级开展了“5.25”心理健康日主题讲座。

译：As the graduation examination is approaching, students may feel nervous and anxious. In order to relieve the pressure of students and help them do a good job of psychological adjustment before the exam, we invited Miss Luo Yuran to give a lecture on Mental Health on May 25th.

“考试焦虑”是一种非常普遍的现象，生理上或心理上都可能出现反应。但焦虑并不是只有消极作用，考前适度地焦虑也能有益于水平的发挥，总的来说，焦虑与成绩呈现倒“U”型关系。

译："Test Anxiety" is a very common phenomenon that can occur either physically or psychologically. But anxiety is not only negative, moderate anxiety before exams can be also beneficial to students. In general, anxiety and grades show an inverted-U relationship.

如果想要打败它，那我们首先就要了解它。考试焦虑是如何产生的呢？有可能是家长、老师或者同学无形中给予的压力过大或期望值过高；也有可能是自我的心理调节不到位，例如不恰当的自我期待，成就动机太强；被过去的考试失败的经历困扰；用脑不科学；复习备考不充分等。

译：If we want to beat it, we must have a good understanding of it. How does test anxiety arise? It may come from our parents, teachers or classmates who give too much pressure or high expectations of us. It may also come from ourselves, such as inappropriate self-expectation, some experiences of failure, unscientific use of the brain or insufficient preparation.

知己知彼，方能百战不殆。在清楚焦虑的形成之后，我们就应针对问题的根源，进行自我调节。先是“调身”，即调整自己的身体状态，保证充足的睡眠，让自己保持神清气爽、精力充沛。其次是“调息”，也就是在应考时学会调整自己的呼吸，以缓解紧张情绪。最后是“调心”，要学会沟通，并进行积极的心理暗示，例如夸奖自己、肯定自己并接纳自己。

译：After we understand the formation of anxiety, we should focus on the root cause of the problem and conduct self-regulation. First, adjust our physical states, ensure enough sleep, and keep ourselves refreshed and energetic. Second, learn to adjust our breathing during exams to relieve tension. Third, learn to communicate and make positive psychological cues, such as praising ourselves, affirming ourselves, and accepting ourselves.

原本枯燥乏味的知识，由罗老师娓娓道来，激发了同学们的兴趣。同学们与罗老师和谐融洽的互动点燃了整个现场的氛围，跟随罗老师的节奏完成一个个小游戏，紧张的心情在不知不觉中得以疏解，绽放出了发自内心的笑容。

译：Miss Luo spoke in an eloquent manner, arousing the interest of the students. The harmonious interaction between the students and the teacher ignited the atmosphere. The students followed Miss Luo to complete the small games, and their nervousness was relieved unconsciously, and they burst into smiles from the heart.

讲座的最后，同学们跟随罗老师进行了一次从头到脚的全身肌肉放松，真正实现了放松和解压。相信同学们一定能够随时关注自己的状态，调节好自己的心理，从容应考，取得令人满意的成绩！

译：At the end of the lecture, the students followed Miss Luo to relax the muscles of the whole body from head to toe, which truly achieved relaxation and decompression.

It’s believed that the students will be able to pay attention to their own status at any time, adjust their psychology, take the exam calmly, and achieve satisfactory results!

小考加油！中考加油！

译：Let’s sincerely wish them good luck for the exam!
