Основное содержание урока

Let’s try to become less stressful in different situations.

Situation A:

I don’t have enough time to talk with my friends, watch TV or simply sit around and do nothing. I’m always studying, practising the guitar or doing sports.
Time management is the answer. Make a weekly planner, and separate the have-tos from the want-tos. Allow some want-tos in your daily timetable.

Situation B:

My brother and I are always fighting about silly things and I always get the blame while Sam gets away with everything. What should I do?
If you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours! You can’t always have it your way. Learn to co-operate.

Situation C:

A new girl has come to our school. She’s pretty and all my mates say she’s a snob. They’re spreading all kinds of rumours about her and no one will talk to her now. I think that’s unfair. How can I help her?
People like to gossip. Most of the time it is harmless, but it can also be hurtful. Break the chain! Don’t spread gossip. Just say to your mates that you are not interested in mean gossip. Don’t believe everything you hear. Introduce yourself, talk to her and form your own opinion.

What should we do in order to lessen stress in our life?

You shouldn’t fall out with people.
You should pull yourself together when you study, even if you fall behind your classmates.
Don’t try to start something new when everything falls apart unless you calm down.
I wish you take all the problems and difficulties easy!
