'Keep one’s head' là giữ bình tĩnh, nhất là trong những trường hợp khó khăn, nguy hiểm. Người Mỹ cũng nói 'keep a cool head' với nghĩa tương tự.
Ví dụ
"My dad was a pretty tough guy (khá mạnh mẽ). I remember when I was a kid; he was cutting down some trees in the yard. The chain-saw (cưa máy) slipped and badly cut (cắt sâu) his leg. I started screaming (la hét) at the sight of all the blood. But my dad kept his head. By staying calm, he managed to save his life."
Once I had to speak in front of a large audience (cử tọa đông đảo) at a conference. For a while I avoided practicing my speech because I felt overwhelmed (hết sức bối rối). But a colleague helped me rehearse (tập đọc) and showed me some techniques to relax (thư giãn). He's a good help because he always keeps his head. And, thanks to him, I learned how to feel more in control.
