Your best friend Chris is studying in a key high school now. As a freshman, he feels quite stressful and nervous in his study and life. You will give him some suggestions on how to reduce stress and live a happy life.
You can talk about it from the following aspects:
1. time management
2. study
3. diet
4. exercise
Tips:1. Don't try to be perfect. It's great to succeed and reach for the stars. But keep things in balance. If you think that "anything less than A+ means I've failed" then you are creating mountains of unnecessary stress for yourself. Aim to do your best but recognize that none of us can be perfect all of the time.
2. Take steps to overcome problems. If you find you don't understand some of your course material, getting stressed out won’t help. Instead, take action to cope with the problem directly by asking your teacher for help or getting help from your classmates.
3. Don't keep things bottled up. Confiding in (倾诉,信赖)someone you trust and who will be supportive is a great way to reduce stress and worry.
1.review the words learnt
2. Preview the passage in Lesson 3.
1. Dr. King thinks that making a list and doing all the important things first can reduce stress and tension. Do you agree with him Why or who not
2. Do you think the solutions mentioned in the conversation are useful to you
If not, what might be a useful way for you to reduce stress

And I can’t sleep, you know what I mean I’m also shy and I don’t like going to parties very much. I don’t mind meeting people in small groups, you know. Ah ... there’s another thing - in French lessons I can’t stand taking in front of the class … er… I get nervous and ... mm … make lots of mistakes. Things I find relaxing Well ... mm… I like a lot of things. I love talking to my friends. And when I’m tired and want to relax, I enjoy listening to music and I like reading. Ah … actually, I quite like sitting around and doing nothing at all!

(P = Presenter K = Dr. King)
P: Good morning, listeners! Today we’re going to look at the topic of stress-what causes it and what we can do to relax. We have Dr. King with us, an expert on stress. Good morning, Dr King.
K: Good morning.
P: So, what kind of people often suffer from stress
K: Well, to be frank, everyone suffers from stress at some time in their life – teachers, doctors, factory workers, newspaper editors … We can’t remove stress from our lives entirely. However, some jobs may be more stressful than others, like some positions in the police or the military.
P: OK. But what really causes stress
K: There are different causes. But more often than not, it’s due to pressure from work or study.
P: Right. So, for example, what about students
K: Absolutely! Students with lots of homework can feel very stressed. They may feel they don’t have enough time to finish everything.
P: True. I’m sure that we have all experienced that kind of stress as students. What about social pressure To what extent do you think that social pressure can cause stress
K: Good question. Well, shy people can find social situations very stressful - going to parties, for example. Thus, to answer your question, social situations can be very stressful for some people.
P: Interesting. And what can we do to stop stress and tension
K: There are many ways to reduce stress. You can organise your work or studies. In other words, you can make a list and do all the important things first.
P: What else
K: You must eat well and exercise often. Also, you can talk to people about your problems - talk to a friend, a teacher or someone in your family. If you become so stressed that you can’t function properly, you should seek professional help.
