WRITING

5 Write a paragraph (80 - 100 words) about the cause(s) of your stress
and offer solutions.

I often feel stressed because of my schoolwork, my parents and my friends.
There is so much homework to do in the evening. And my parents also
complain about why I can't be as good as a student who I never know about.
My classmates are really excellent, they're not only intelligent but also
energertic, and they acquire a lot of achievement. To deal with my stress, I
divide my school work in parts to do. Doing in that way reduces my tiring
feeling after finishing my homework. I dont mind my parent's complaint and
focus on my own goals. I also ask my friends about tips about how to
become excellent like them. We're the same age as each other, so they can
easily understand what I'm dealing with. I feel motivated after reciving so
much useful advices from my friends.
