Exercise 3
What questions could you ask to get these answers?
No, they have to finance their own studies.
There isn't much difference; it's just that the courses are more practical in a polytechnic instead of being very academic.

Екзаменаційний стрес
(Поради психолога)
Коли б не приходив час іспитів я завжди стаю нервовою. Мені стає важко заснути і я навіть інколи не можу змусити себе готуватись до екзаменів. Я опиняюсь у стані пригнічення. Як можна цьому зарадити?

Ви можете почувати себе трохи збудженим. Англійці кажуть відчувати “метеликів у животі”. Стрес – це нормально. Психологи кажуть, що трохи стресу необхідно для гарної відповіді на екзамені.
Але якщо ви дійсно переживаєте глибокий стрес, він аж ніяк вам не допоможе. Деякі люди від стресу просто впадають у стан депресії – вони не можуть нічого вчити або повторювати. Деякі люди навіть втрачають сон і не можуть їсти.
Як правило люди, яким характерні такі сильні переживання не ті, що бояться “завалити” екзамен, а ті, хто знають багато і бояться здати екзамен гірше ніж вони можуть.
Важливо пам’ятати, що глибокий стрес може завадити вам гарно відповісти на екзамені. Якщо ви відчуваєте, що занадто сильно хвилюєтесь, спробуйте (намагайтесь) заспокоїтись. Поговоріть з людиною, якій довіряєте про те, як ви почуваєтесь, можливо він або вона допоможе вам відволіктись від переживань та зібратись з силами і думками.
