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: I can’t believe it’s already finals week!

A: Which classes do you have first?
