Case Study
● Andy, who is going to participate in an English speech contest , shows the following signs of stress——fatigue or loss of energy, loss of appetite ,
loss of social interest , increased restlessness , difficulty in sleeping and
difficulty in concentrating. He wrote a letter to you to complain about his current situation and turned to you for help.
● In order to offer him more professional and practical suggestions , you need to have a deeper understanding of stress , including its definition , symptoms and effects .
What is the definition of stress according
to Reading A in this unit
●Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable
about something and it is a state that makes you feel terrible both physically and mentally.
What are the differences between good and bad
stress Please illustrate your ideas with examples .
Good stress: When you are called on in class or when you have to give a presentation , you may be anxious or nervous , with blank brain and sweaty hands . It will encourage you to get full preparations for your work and
finish your assignments better.
Bad stress: It will arise when the stressful feelings last for a long period. For example,
when your families or relatives have problems in their health conditions, when your
academic performance at school is not satisfying enough, or when you are going
through several defeats or frustrations, stress will be around the corner and make you
sick instead of helping you get things done.
What are the physical and mental reactions to excessive stress
Body ’s response to stress: feel physically bad , fast heartbeat , sweat , feel sick , shake , feel hot , stomachache , have trouble
sleeping , a terrible headache , have trouble in sleeping or eating (either too much or too little) , have trouble in concentration and memory, check something repeatedly. . .
Emotions that stress may cause: feel angry, frustrated, scared or afraid, feel anxious for no reason...
What kinds of healthy ways to deal with stress
did you learn from this unit Could you infer the
unhealthy ways from healthy ones
● Healthy ways people try to handle their stress
● 1) Try talking about the issues that bother you at present and expressing your dilemmas as well as your feelings to an adult you trust;
● 2) Have a balanced life which includes enough and sound sleep, healthy and balanced diet, relaxation exercises and adequate time for fun stuff;
● 3) Admit that a situation is stressful;
● 4) Get treatment and consult a professional;
● 5)Additional solution(s): take deep breath anytime
● Unhealthy ways people try to handle their stress (infer from healthy ways given in the unit accordingly)
● 1) Try keeping stress all inside and avoid talking about the issues that really bother you to anyone;
● 2) Lead an unbalanced life which includes inadequate sleep, unhealthy diet/picky eating, no time for fun stuff and no relaxation exercises;
● 3) Refuse to admit that you are now going through/experiencing great pressure;
● 4) Not willing to consult a professional and get guidance and treatment;
● 5)Additional solution(s): hit the wall, drink alcohol, withdraw from activities, avoid thinking of the problem
Group Work——Solutions from Extra Materials
●Divide the whole class into five independent groups and ask each group to be responsible for a given passage or some specific
paragraphs (two groups for passage one) to summarize more
solutions to stress and then classify them into healthy and
unhealthy ones . Then encourage students to complete Worksheet Two within each group.

What are the three main healthy solutions
and unhealthy solutions to Andy ’s stress
Could you select one unhealthy way
among the above to make a demonstration
and show your critical thinking
● 【 demonstration example】
● I wouldn ’t go along with the idea that we speed up to finish as many tasks as possible without stop .
● I was wondering what the potential result of pushing ourselves to do demanding and
endless work would be in the long run . Don ’t you think it would lead to a higher level of anxiety and nervousness in addition to our existing restlessness Don ’t you think it would rob us of our time , freedom , wisdom and inspiration to reflect on what we are
doing at the moment and make adjustment reasonably If it were up to me, I would turn to another solution , that is , to make myself slow down by listening to some healing music or making my to-do list more flexible and rational . Contrary to the former one, the
latter one can help us keep a stable and sound attitude and manage our time more
effectively. Therefore, after careful consideration, I must conclude that we ’d better slow down to enjoy the preparation process instead of forcing ourselves to finish every mission , necessary or unnecessary, without any relaxation .
Useful exDresSions
