【正确答案】Topic: Ways to Handle Stress
Conversation
A: Nowadays, people are having more and more stressful life. Stress may cause many health problems such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backaches, or insomnia.
B: So, it's important to recognize and deal without it in a positive way. I think the most effective way to handle stress is to try physical activity. When I feel nervous, angry or upset, I will try releasing the pressure through exercises such as running, walking, playing badminton, or working in my garden. These activities will relieve my anxiety and worry.
A: Physical activity is really helpful to relieve people's stress. It helps our body and mind work together to ease the stress in our life. But I don't have much time to take physical activity. So for me, the most effective way is to share my stress with my friends. I talk with them about my anxieties and worries, which can help me achieve a more positive perspective on what's troubling me. If I feel my problem is serious, I might seek professional help from a psychologist or psychiatrist.
B: Asking for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later. As a girl, a good cry can be helpful for me to bring relief to my anxiety. It might even help me avoid a headache or other physical consequences of anxiety and stress. Besides, I will create a quiet scene. I will paint a quiet country scene mentally, which can transport me from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind.
A: It's true that a quiet scene can create a sense of peace and tranquility which will relieve one's stress. But cry for me, a boy, is not practical. When I feel stressful, I will make time for myself. I will have a break from my daily routine to just relax and have fun, to do something I enjoy. The last but not the least way for me to handle stress is to learn how to relax. I will take a deep breath and exhale to help calm my mind. Or I will take a warm bath or shower. It's an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.
B: Yes. If people can learn the "art" of relaxation, they'll find satisfaction in just "being. " without trying or striving. They will feel calmer, healthier and happier without the stress, anxiety and worry in their life.
A&B: It's the end of the conversation.
