Sharing ideas:
1. What causes you to have stress
2. How does the stress make you feel
3. How do you deal with stress and lead a balanced life
1.Is stress always our enemy
Further thinking:
My view:
No, stress is not always our enemy.
Actually, a study shows that a certain amount of stress is good for us. If we treat it correctly, it can be turned into motivation which can help us to develop our potential (n.潜力) and achieve our life goal.
2.How could we keep balance between study and leisure(n.休闲)
Further thinking:
My view:
As a saying goes : “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” It is no doubt that we should leave some time for leisure after long hours’ study.Taking some exercise like playing ball games and taking up a hobby are good choices through which we can quickly refresh ourselves and go on studying more efficiently (adv. 高效地).
3. Should we look only on the bright side or face up to (面对) the whole fact
Further thinking:
My view:
Nobody will be hurt by looking on the bright side but they will , if they look only on the bright side. We should be aware that life is full of happiness, but also has a lot of sufferings(n.苦难). We should look on the both sides of things and face up to the whole fact so that we can make ourselves stronger when we suffer setbacks(n.挫折).
Many ways to guard against stress and lead a balanced life:
Summary:
Some important language points:
focus on ; deal with ; be aware that ...;
leave behind; look on the bright side;
take up; cancel out; musical instrument; force sb.to do; cheer up
