School Counsellor: You should get enough sleep, eat
a healthy diet, and do physical exercise regularly.
Mai: My parents say students of our age need to sleep
at least eight hours a day. Is that right?
School Counsellor: Yes, it is.
Phong: But we often find it difficult to get a good
night's sleep, especially before exams. Could you offer
us any advice?

about lots of stress. You can reduce this stress by
studying long before the exam, not waiting until the
night before it.
Phong: Thank you. Do you have any tips about looking
after our mental health?
School Counsellor: If you want to have good mental
health, you should have a well-balanced life. I mean
you should balance your study and life.
Nick: But how can we balance them?
School Counsellor: Well, you have to manage your
time by planning your schedule and giving priority to
your work. And you should keep a balance between
study and play.
