[范文]
Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure. Both our feelings and our bodies get upset. We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress for too long.
Stress can come at us from every direction. For instance, it can come from fights with other people. It can come when we have too many things to do and too little time to do them. It can also come when we do not have enough money to pay for what we want.
Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn how to deal with it. There are good ways and bad ways to do so. We should deal with stress in good ways, of course. Good ways to cut down on stress include changing our lifestyles. For example, we can learn either to get along with people or to stay away from them. We can decide what to do now, what to do later, and what to leave off doing forever. We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.
We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.

中学生学习时间长、压力大，专家建议学生每天课后应采取适当的方式放松自己。为此，不同的同学有不同的放松方式，有的爱看电视，有的听音乐，有的做运动?请你谈谈你通过哪些方式放松自己并说说原因，谈谈你的感受。
The Senior High School Entrance Examination is coming. In order to make a success in the exam I think it’s high time for us to relax a little. Or we’ll be too nervous to work well in the exam.
Recently I have had a discussion about The Ways for Students to Relax with Terry, a student from Class One Grade Three . (As we study too long every day, every student should choose ways to relax.) In his opinion, the best
ways are watching TV and playing computer games. He also believes that sometimes hanging out with friends isn't a bad way.
However, I'm not quite agree with him. In my opinion, watching TV or playing computer games is not a good way to help us relax. I think listening to music and playing sports are good ways because they can help us keep healthy. I often play Pingpong after class and I find it really helpful to both my health and my study. Besides, I think chatting with our friends isn't a bad way. I think it can help me get on better with my friends.
三．Reduce Pressure(减压)
假设你们班要在下星期一举行题为“The Ways for Students to Relax”的班会，请结合报道的内容。用英语写一篇100字左右的发言材料。
内容包括：
1.简要介绍造成现在学生学习压力大的原因。2.你认为来自于English Online调查结果的放松方式是否有效，为什么?
3.谈谈你个人自我放松的有效做法(至少三点)。
Dear fellows,
Not only adults but also we students often feel stressed because we have too much homework to do, and we are very busy studying every day, we don’t have our own time to do what we are interested in. We are very tired and sleepy all day, so we should learn to deal with it. What should we do to relax?
From the result of the survey, I think doing sports with classmates is a good way to relax. Because it’s good for our health and it can make us relaxed.
I also have three ways to relax ourselues. First, we can listen to music. Second, we can go to the movies with our parents on weekends. Don’t study at home all the weekend. Third, when we feel tired, we can think about something interesting.
I hope my suggestions can help you.
Thanks!

假如你是Jane，你的好友Mary在微博上说最近很累很不开心，而且很担心即将到来的期末考试，请你在Mary的微博中回复，给她一些建议，使她振作起来。（注意：文中不能出现姓名和学校等相关信息） 提示：
1. 分析Mary 不开心的原因；

3. 给她美好的祝福。
Dear Mary,
Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. I know you are under too much pressure. You can’t get on well with your classmates; you may worry about your exams.
I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all
kinds of training classes at weekends.
Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with your parents is necessary to solve the problem.
Less pressure, better life! Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Jane
五. 补充：Culture and Customs(文化习俗)
不同的国家有不同的风俗文化，在庆祝节日方式上都是不同的。在今天的班会课上，你班的同学们就“我们该如何看待外国节日对中国的影响”这个话题展开了激烈的辩论。请结合短文内容，用英语写一篇题为“How Should We Treat Foreign Festivals?”的作文，80词左右。 内容包括：
1.现在有哪些外来节日?(至少列举3个)
2.它们对我们有哪些影响?我们是否该庆祝它们?为什么?
3.我们该如何看待外来节日?
How should We Treat Foreign Festivals
Nowadays, more and more foreign festivals are coming into China, such as Christmas Day, Valentine’s Day and April Fool’s Day.
Some of them are arousing increasing attention yearly in China. So some people are worried whether these foreign festivals will replace the Chinese traditional festivals.
In my opinion, we should celebrate some meaningful foreign festivals because these festivals help us Chinese to know more about the culture of different countries.
I think we should love our own traditional festivals and never give them up. At the same time, why not try to introduce them to foreign countries?
