Model text
Hi Sara, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling stressed about your exams. I think the first thing you should do is make a study plan instead of trying to study everything at once. You could choose two or three important tasks for each day and take short breaks between them. It might also help to turn off your phone while you study. If I were you, I would try to sleep properly before each exam, because being tired makes concentration much harder. You have worked hard, so do not forget to give yourself some credit. I am sure you know more than you think. Good luck, Emma
