Every day you read in newspapers, books and magazines that it is important to avoid stress. Stress can kill, they say. Stay calm. Be relaxed. Slow down. Don't worry so much and don't work so hard. Unfortunately, this is difficult. There are always money problems and family problems. Our cities are full of traffic and noise. Stressful situations seem to be everywhere.
When people are under stress they react in different ways. Some people find it difficult to stay calm and often become tense. Little things, like a baby crying, can make them irritated. They get very annoyed if they have to wait just a few minutes too long in a shop or a restaurant. These people are usually very moody. One minute they are fine and the next they can be really angry – absolutely furious. Other people seem to stay calm almost all the time, and rarely get angry. For example, if they are caught in bad traffic, they don't get frustrated. They sit calmly in their cars, telling themselves that there is nothing they can do about the situation. These people are not moody at all. They don't change from moment to moment, but always seem to be in control of their emotions.

Stress and How to Cope Well With It

Nowadays many people say that they are tired of their hectic lifestyle. They work too much and stop taking breaks. They forget about everything striving for their goals and they constantly raise the bar. Very often they don't find personal satisfaction in their work and don't love what they do. They have no sense of personal accomplishment and self-satisfaction. Some people don't feel content even when they achieve their goal. One the contrary, they feel disillusioned and dissatisfied. Having climbed the ladder of success they find nothing worthwhile on the top. Constant fatigue, physical and exhaust moralion, monotony and impossible pressure at work and at home can cause stress.

Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by people "s response to pressure from the outside world. Stress causes tension, irritability, anxiety, alarm, loss of concentration, sensations of fear and panic as well as headaches and a fast heartbeat. It can result in a real breakdown of health.

There are a lot of stressful events in our lives, such as divorce, losing a job or having difficulties at home or at work. But changes for the better can also cause stress, like a new baby, a wedding, and a new house. Pupils and students often face stress from problems at school, poor relationships with peers, strict and demanding teachers, exams and many other problems.

Feeling stressed many people try to find some distraction and to escape their problems. They begin overeating, smoking, drinking, and even taking drugs. But junk food, cigarettes, sleeping pills and alcohol don't help. On the contrary, they make things much worse and more difficult to patch up.

Stress can have a negative influence not only on our physical and mental health, but on the lives of those around us. It often makes us lose control and shout at our spouses, relatives, friends or colleagues. Taking stress out on our nearest and dearest is the easiest way to hurt their feelings and to make them feel depressed too.

People react to stress in different ways. Some of us are more vulnerable to stress than others. People who are always angry, impatient and mistrustful may have more stress-related physical problems.

It is very important to try to avoid stress or at least to minimize it. That "s why it is essential to notice early signs of stress and to remove some of its causes. If you catch the trouble early, the problem may be easy to fix.

One of the best ways to cope with stress is to keep a sense of humor in difficult situations. Wise people say that laughter is the best medicine for all diseases. It increases blood flow and it may reduce the risk of heart disease. Besides, laughter makes the body release pleasure chemicals.

Regular leisure activities and relaxing hobbies are also very important in reducing stress. If you feel depressed, yoga, swimming, bicycling, painting or gardening can help you relax, calm down and get a new lease on life. Anti-anxiety medications and anti-depressants can be useful for dealing with short periods of acute stress. But the side effects of such medications can be rather dangerous, that's why they must never be taken as often as vitamins. Besides, anti-anxiety medications and anti-depressants cause addiction and may lead to suicides.

Forget about your problems. Take a day off work, domestic chores and family. Work regular hours and don "t forget to take breaks and holidays. Don" t expect too much of yourself and don "t try to aim higher than your capacity. Have a balance in life. Walk away from stressful situations and be positive and enthusiastic In other words "don't worry, be happy."

1. "Stress is inevitable. It goes hand in hand with the work we do. People don't hire us to do easy things, they hire us to do difficult things and to think that you can remove stress from that is a fool" s errand. Isn "t this pressure why people work in the first place? I work with people who are up for the challenge, focused on being successful and pressure helps them reach their goals." (Stevan Rolls, head of human resources at Deloitte)
2. "I don't think you should shy away from stress. It forces you to perform to live up to your full potential. I like to think that even when I am on the verge of retirement I"ll still be pushing myself. It"s what gets me out of bed in the morning." (Charlie Bagot Jewitt, a former Royal Naval commander)
3. To live without stress would be to live in a vegetative state. It "s just not viable. Even the act of getting up in the morning requires effort. For many workers it is the fact that they feel "driven" that makes the job worthwhile and that once that feeling is gone, it is time for them to move on. It is this environment that allows them to produce their best work." (Glynis Kelly, senior lecturer in psychology and sociology at Cornwall College)
4. "Spikes of stress help us to develop and survive. So view being stressed as being resilient. Resilient people see pressure as a challenge, trust that they have control and don"t see themselves as powerless. Those kinds of attitudes are at the root of any career success." (Dr Wolfgang Seidl, executive director of the Validium Group, which provides employee assistance programs)
(from the article "I love stress" by Cath Janes, The Guardian)
Stress
For Against

6. Read the quotations below. Choose any statement and comment on it
"Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down." (Natalie Goldberg)
"Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness." (Richard Carlson)
Stress is a designer ailment that many of the so-called afflicted suffer from with pride." (Janet Street-Porter)
"Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older." (Hans Selye)
"Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too much to do." It comes from not finishing what they"ve started." (David Allen)
I believe that stress is a factor in any bad health." (Christopher Shays)

A. There are hundreds of definitions of stress but even the highest medical authorities don't know what it really means. Give your own definition of stress.

B. Read the text "Stress and How to Cope Well With It" and think if stress can be called the disease of modern society.

Find an article about stress and prepare a short speech on the problems raised in it. Speak about the author's attitude to these problems.

homeward bound - returning home, heading home

eustress - positive stress, eustress

distress - physical pain, malaise, grief, unhappiness, mental suffering

stressor - stress factor, stressor, stress factor

nomadic - nomadic, nomadic

wear and tear of life - life troubles

finite - limited, having a limit

liken to liken (to); compare; equate (to, with)

draw on - draw, borrow, use

eventually - in the end, in the end, in the end; with time

vicious circle - vicious circle

It is different things to different people. To a mountaineer it is the challenge of pushing physical resources to the limit by striving to achieve a demanding goal. To the homeward bound motorist it can be heavy traffic and exhaust fumes. To the student it can be exam pressure.

Take a piece of paper and write the word stress at the top. Now write down all the words and images that come to your mind as you think about this word.

Most people respond to the word stress in negative ways. They see it as a destructive force. However, not all stress is negative. The word eustress has been coined to describe positive stress. Eustress is the type of stress you are likely to experience when you inherit a large amount of money or receive an unexpected promotion or reward. Eustress is the stress of winning and achieving.

Negative stress is distress. It is the stress of losing, failing, overworking and not coping. Distress affects people in a negative often harmful manner. We all experience from distress time to time. It is a normal, unavoidable part of living.

Stressors Cause Stress

Stress results from failure to adequately cope with stressors. Stressors could be loud noise, uncomfortable air-conditioning, debts, ringing telephones, broken relationships, unrealistic deadlines, discouragement, fear, pain and thousands of other things that impact upon us in the normal course of life.

It is impossible to avoid stressors. The only totally stress-free state is death! Stressors will always be there because we live in an imperfect and unpredictable world which is going to cause us to frequently get stressed. We experience stress as the body adjusts to the external demands placed upon it. Our body constantly seeks to maintain stability and stress is usually sensed as the body readjusts to too much pressure.

We need to assist our bodies to cope with being stressed because our natural biological stress-adjustors are not ideally suited to the demands of modern living. Our bodies are well suited to cope with the distressing events faced by our primitive ancestors. The stressors faced by humans conditioned to a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle are obviously different to the distressing lifestyle of today.

Our distant ancestors needed chemical responses that are inappropriate today. If you physically ran away from your workplace whenever things got on top of you then this would not enhance your standing in the Organization. Conversely if you punch the boss on the nose when he/she gives you a tough time then the resulting dismissal and assault charges will generate considerably greater levels of distress. consequently we need to develop special skills to deal with special stressors.

The Consequences of Stress

One of the pioneers of stress research, Dr. Hans Selye wrote that ". stress is essentially reflected by the rate of all the wear and tear caused by life.”

His research convinced him that the body has only a finite reserve of adaptation energy to apply to the stressors of life. Selye likened this reserve to a bank account upon which we can make withdrawals from time to time but into which we cannot make deposits. It is a non-renewable reserve of energy which we draw on throughout life until eventually it is consumed and death results.

Over a long period of time the stress response begins to take a toll on the body.

A weakened immune system makes us vulnerable to infection and this is why people under stress often experience regular attacks of colds and flu.

We can do ourselves a great deal of harm by stressful thinking. We can flood our body with stress hormones and this can create a vicious circle making us more and more stressful.

The Effects of Stress

There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. ‘Stress’ means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.

There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.

Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.

Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.

It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

Essay in English with translation

How to deal with problems

Firstly, sometimes you have a problem but you do not have enough knowledge to cope with it. So, the best thing will be to ask someone to help you. Besides, there are situations when you are nervous or not in a good condition to solve your problem alone. Then you'll need a person who will give you helpful advice. Finally, a lot of people say that one head is good but two heads are better. I think it is a useful phrase in our situation. If you have a problem, you can discuss it with somebody you trust. Together you will find the best solution.

All I all, every person should find an outlet by himself. Asking for help is a thing that should not be scary because we are not perfect creatures and we can also make mistakes in our lives. Don't forget that there are a lot of people around you who will be happy to give you a helping hand.

Firstly, sometimes you do not have sufficient knowledge to solve a particular problem. The best way out of this situation is to ask someone for help. In addition, there are times when you are agitated or feel bad in order to deal with your problem alone. In this case, you just need a person who will help you with advice.

Also, many people say that one head is good, but two is still better. In my opinion, this statement, as it is impossible by the way, fits the topic of our discussion.

The main thing is not to forget that there are a lot of people around us who are ready to give us a helping hand at any moment.
