Slice of Life 49: Finals Week

Final exams are very stressful for high school students. With one test determining 25% of their semester average, students need to ace these tests to do well. Finals week comes at the end of every semester. While students usually have 4 classes a day, on finals week they have 2 two-hour long exam periods; the day ends at lunch time. Dialogue A: Nem acredito que já estamos na semana das provas finais! B: Eu sei. Parece que a escola começou ontem. A: Não é? Eu não estudei o suficiente. B: Bom, você tem sorte porque como as provas Só tomam metade do dia, você pode passar a outra metade estudando. A: É, mas minhas primeiras provas são de Matemática e Biologia. Eu não quero arruinar 25% da minha média final. B: Tenho certeza de que você vai se dar bem. A: Que provas você têm primeiro? B: História e Cerâmica. Todas as minhas provas difíceis são no final da semana. A: O bom é que a gente entra de férias assim que os exames terminarem. B: É. Não vejo a hora de botar o sono em dia. A: I can’t believe it’s already finals week! B: I know. It seems like school just started yesterday. A: I know, right? I haven’t studied enough. B: Well, luckily, because finals are half days you can spend the rest of the day studying. A: Yeah, but I have math and bio first. I don’t want to mess up 25% of my semester average. B: I’m sure it will be fine. A: Which classes do you have first? B: History and ceramics. All of my hard classes are at the end of the week. A: At least winter break begins after testing is over. B: Yeah, I am looking forward to getting some more sleep.
