I’m a doctor. My job is to take care of people’s health. I feel satisfied when I see my patients recover. But my life is stressful all the time. I have to get up very early in the morning and often go back home late, feeling tired. I only have time to play with my children on weekends. Due to the stress, I cannot sleep well at night.
Read the three posts. Choose one person to give your group’s suggestions.
It was my dream to become a volunteer teacher. So three years ago, I left my hometown and taught English in a village in Hunan Province. It’s exciting to work with kids. But it’s not surprising that being a teacher in the village can be challenging. The power and water supplies are unstable. Besides, it’s inconvenient to go outside because the public transportation is not well connected. I haven’t seen my parents for more than one year. I miss them a lot.
I’m a junior high student. I came to a new school a few weeks ago. I feel depressed these days. I’m very shy, so social situations are stressful for me. My mother keeps telling me to make friends with my classmates. I know it must be interesting. But it’s always so hard for me to chat with new classmates. I start to worry about my life here. I miss my old friends so much.
