<b>III.WRITING </b>

<b>correct and meaningful. If a sentence is correct, put a tick (V) in the space provided. </b>

We all have worries and negative thoughts about ourselves, shy people just to have a few more of these than most.
Although it's often associated with girls, but shyness is more common among boys, as there is often more pressure
on them than to be more outspoken and confident. The key to overcoming shyness is to force yourself to go to
parties and social events, even if though you don't want to. The more you stay away from social situations, the
much more difficult they will become.

There are three common causes of teen's stress. First, it is the constant pressure do well at school to live up to their
parent's aspirations. If a teen is academically strong, then there is a normal pressure to maintain performance, or if
he/she is not ' at studies, the pressure increases in order to perform well. Second, it is the social ss. Teens have to
learn to interact socially and adjust in this highly complicated Id when reaching adolescence and they are confused
about what to do. Finally, it is the financial stress. Teens do not have to earn money to feed themselves, but ere is
any financial strain in the family, it sometimes becomes difficult for a teen handle. In short, teen stress may come
from three sources above.

I wanna talk about beating stress today. You know life here in Hong Kong is stressful so I think today's topic is
very useful for everyone because we can something about it, just to cope with the stress. So maybe you have some
change(s) in your life, maybe big change and small change, but instead of being afraid, I think you should have a
positive attitude and think of change as a normal part of life.

If you want to reduce some stress, you can reduce this by the word S-T-R-E-S-S, t's stress.

Let's begin with the 'S' - 'scheduling' For example, you don't have to schedule too many things in your day. If you
feel you are too busy, you can cut out an activity or two.

Next, the 'T' word? - 'treat your body well', because experts say that exercise can reduce stress and also if you eat
healthy food, then your brain and your body get the nourishment they need.

The next word is 'R' - 'relax'. You can do an activity you enjoy or that relaxes you, maybe you can read a good
book or learn a new hobby.

Next 'E' - 'E' is about expectations. Be realistic about yourself, be true to yourself and others. So you can just do
your best and don't try to be perfect and don't expect others to be too...
