| TẠM DỊCH: It's the end of the school year and the exam period is approaching. Undoubtedly, exams put pressure on both students and parents alike. Most parents would like to see their children succeeding academically, as they believe a good education gives them an added advantage in life. They want to see their children settled in a rewarding job and be financially well-off. But is that what their children have planned for themselves? Apparently it is not. Most students either can't think that far ahead or have no intention of doing so. They would rather aim low so as not to be disappointed if they get low marks. However, child psychologists, who have been consulted on the matter, stress that students should aim high, but at the same time have a variety of other options. As a result, students will not have to worry about grades and in the long term they will have better chances of succeeding. On the whole, there are many practical and invaluable things that parents can do for their children. Apart from being people their children can turn to, parents can plan a reasonable schedule that both they and their children agree on. According to psychologists' instructions, this schedule should include no more than eight hours of studying, three proper meals a day and some exercise. Above all, prior to each exam, parents need to reassure their children that everything will be fine whatever the result. | Năm học đã kết thúc và kỳ thi đang đến gần. Rõ ràng, các kỳ thi gây áp lực cho cả học sinh và phụ huynh. Hầu hết các bậc cha mẹ muốn thấy con cái của họ thành công trong học tập, vì họ tin rằng một nền giáo dục tốt sẽ mang lại cho họ một lợi thế lớn hơn trong cuộc sống. Họ muốn nhìn thấy con cái của họ ổn định trong một công việc tốt và được sung túc về mặt tài chính. Nhưng đó có phải là điều mà con cái họ đã hoạch định cho mình? Rõ ràng nó không phải. Hầu hết học sinh không thể nghĩ xa đến thế hoặc không có ý định làm như vậy. Họ thà đặt mục tiêu thấp để không bị thất vọng nếu bị điểm thấp. Tuy nhiên, các nhà tâm lý học trẻ em, những người được tư vấn về vấn đề này, nhấn mạnh rằng học sinh nên đặt mục tiêu cao, nhưng đồng thời có nhiều lựa chọn khác. Nhờ đó, học sinh sẽ không phải lo lắng về điểm số và về lâu dài các em sẽ có cơ hội thành công cao hơn. Nhìn chung, có rất nhiều điều thiết thực và vô giá mà cha mẹ có thể làm cho con cái của họ. Ngoài việc là những người mà con cái có thể tìm tới, cha mẹ có thể lên kế hoạch cho một thời gian biểu hợp lý mà cả họ và con cái họ đều đồng ý. Theo hướng dẫn của các nhà tâm lý học, thời gian biểu này bao gồm việc học không quá tám giờ, ba bữa ăn hợp lý mỗi ngày và một số bài tập thể dục. Hơn hết, trước mỗi kỳ thi, cha mẹ cần trấn an con rằng mọi thứ sẽ ổn dù kết quả có như thế nào. |
