Task 1.Read the text and fill in the gaps (1-8) with A, B, C, D:

Stressed out!

You’re studying hard for your A-levels, you’ve got a part time job, your parents are in the middle of 1) ....... a divorce and you’re worried that your best friend is mad at you. Basically, you feel like you’re losing control! Sound familiar? Well, you’re not 2) ......., because 92% of British

teens feel stressed. So, as the pressure mounts in the run-up to exams, we thought we’d give you the lowdown on what stress is and does and, most importantly, what we can do about it!

The lowdown on stress

In a nutshell, “stress” is the 3) ....... our bodies and minds react to life’s changes. Not all stress is bad! In stressful situations, the nervous system causes muscles to tense, breathing to become shallow and adrenaline to be released into your bloodstream as your body gets ready to 4) .......

challenges with focus and strength. So, a little stress can keep you on your toes! But, in the long term, it can put too much strain on your heart and cause other physical and emotional symptoms such as headaches, depression, forgetfulness and low self-esteem. The good news, however, is that you CAN deal with stress before it gets out of hand! So, take control and REMEMBER YOUR A-B-Cs…

A is for ACTION

You can take action when stress is created by something you can control! If you have too many things to do, for example, try to break tasks down into smaller ‘chunks’, and deal with one thing at a time in order of priority. Perhaps it’s just that you’ve taken on too much! If so, give 5) ....... an afterschool activity for a while, for example, or ask a friend or family member to help you lighten the load.

B is for BEAR IT

If there’s nothing you can do, you’ll just have to ‘grin and bear it’! If, at first, you can’t change your feelings, learn how to control your thoughts. When you feel overwhelmed, take slow,

6) ....... breaths and count to ten. Later, once you’ve calmed down, analyse the problem rationally. Perhaps you could repeat a saying to help you accept your situation, such as

“One day I’ll laugh about this”. Also, try to keep things in perspective and don’t be too dramatic! Saying that you’re ‘pulling your hair out’ or that your workload ‘is killing you’ will only make you feel worse!

C is for COPE

Find ways to handle your stress! For a start, doing something relaxing, such as going for a walk or for a coffee with a friend, will help take your 7) ....... off the things that are bugging you. Or perhaps writing poetry or keeping a diary will help you to 8) ....... with your negative emotions. Last but not least, getting enough sleep, exercising and eating regular, nutritious meals are all essential for coping with stress! Above all, try to keep a sense of humour and a positive

attitude! You don’t have to let your problems rule your life!

Task 7.Read the text about beating stress and choose the correct answer to each question

I want to talk about beating stress today. You know life here in Hong Kong is very stressful so I think today’s topic is very useful for everyone because we can do 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.

And I think maybe here in Hong Kong, the families are crowded into a very small housing space, so maybe you would sometimes argue with your family and I think trying to resolve the disagreement with people is very important because then you can build strong relationships and keep commitments you have made. For example, sometimes maybe you are feeling alone and you want to make some comfort and I think you can ask the people you trust for help is very important because if you have a bunch of friends, they can listen to you, then you can release some stress through talking to them.

And do you know that actually I find a very funny thing that if you want to reduce some stress, you can reduce this by the word S-T-R-E-S-S, that’s stress. How about, let’s begin with the ‘S’. Well, I think ‘S’ is that you can have the ‘scheduling’, for example, you don’t have to schedule too many things in your day and if you feel you are too busy, you can cut out an activity or two. And how about the ‘T’ word? The ‘T’ word is ‘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.

And the word is ‘R’…the next word is ‘R’ - ‘R’ is very important, it says ‘relax’. You can do an activity you enjoy or that relaxes you, maybe you can read a good book or learn a new hobby and spend time with your pet or even you can visiting (visit) a spa and that could make a very good difference. And for me, I like to play piano when I feel stressed and sometimes I may just watch some movies that make me laugh a lot.

And the next word is ‘E’ – ‘E’ is about expectations, and I think be realistic about yourself is to 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… because that will release and reduce a lot of stress for you and the people around you. And the next word is ‘S’ – ‘S’ is, stands for ‘sleep’ and I really love to sleep to be honest, that’s my hobby I think, because sleep…if you get a good night’s sleep, then it will keep your mind and your body in shape. And experts say if you sleep more than seven hours, you will actually get tired, so don’t sleep too much in the day, just sleep it when you feel enough.

And the last word is ‘S’ again. I always do this action, the S word is ‘smile’ – if you smile and have confidence, your attitude and your thoughts influence the way you see things. And if you are a negative person, you can actually learn to think in a more positive way because that makes you feel more comfortable when you are coping with the stress. Finally I think we should take action and apply these tips to your life, so everyone can beat stress.

1. The speaker says ...

a. you should be afraid of change

b. change is a part of everyday life

Данное задание проверяет уровень сформированности умений грамматической трансформации в заданном контексте. Именно контекст, то есть лексико-грамматическое окружение, определяет выбор грамматический формы. Чтобы правильно выполнить данное задание, обучающийся должен внимательно прочитать предложения микро-диалога, и выбрать подходящий глагол, затем посмотреть, есть ли маркеры времени и другие прямые и косвенные подсказки, которые помогут выбрать время глагола и залог. Так, в первом предложении фразы «What’s wrong Amy? You look exhausted!» свидетельствуют о том, что результат деятельности налицо- Эйми выглядит уставшей. Что же к этому привело? А к этому привела деятельность в грамматическом времени Present Perfect, выраженная глаголом be, так как здесь употреблено устойчивое выражение be under stress- «I have been under a lot of stress these past few months»

Во втором микро-диалоге надо правильно выбрать глагол, входящий в состав устойчивого выражения- это глагол take. Так как предложение идёт в повелительном наклонении, но нам потребуется неличная форма глагола без частицы «to»- Take it easy.! I’m sure you’ll do fine.

В третьем микро диалоге необходимо выбрать глагол, управляющий послелогом up- это фразовый глагол «break up». Нам потребуется личная форма глагола, так как в предложении пропущено сказуемое. А выбор грамматического времени определяется временем глагола- сказуемого второго предложения – «I didn’t know that.»Так как здесь идет Past simple, то и сказуемое первого предложения необходимо поставить в Past Simple- «Sally broke up with her boyfriend».

В четвертом микро диалоге выбираем глагол «lose», так как он входит в устойчивое сочетание lose control.Чтобы правильно определить время глагола- сказуемого, зададим вопрос- когда человеку необходимо быть более терпеливым с детьми? Очевидно, тогда, когда и дается совет - в момент речи. Следовательно, правильной грамматической формой будет Present Continuous- « I can’t. I feel that I am losing control».

get you down/ building up/ sick and tired/ take it anymore/ lose your temper

Данное задание проверяет уровень сформированности лексико-грамматических навыков у обучающихся. Необходимо в каждый пропуск выбрать подходящую с точки зрения лексики и грамматической сочетаемости фразу. Для этого необходимо обращать внимание на непосредственное окружение искомой фразы - наличие предлогов, союзов, артиклей, разных форм местоимения. Внимание к мелочам, вспомогательным частям речи.

Так, в первом предложении мы будем искать фразу, управляющую предлогом of- «Do you ever find yourself feeling 1) ............ of having». Из предложенных вариантов только устойчивое выражение sick and tired управляет этим предлогом. Следовательно, правильным вариантом будет « Do you ever find yourself feeling 1) sick and tired of having to deal with all the noise and the traffic in this city?»

Во втором предложении у нас встречается такое грамматическое явление, как Complex Object, или сложное дополнение. После глагола feel необходимо употребить форму первого причастия, следовательно, выбираем форму building up, так как она удовлетворяет грамматическому правилу- « Do you feel the stress 2) building up as you’re sitting in your car in horrendous traffic jams?»

В третьем предложении у нас пропущен глагол-сказуемое, которое сочетается с подлежащим you.Какое же время выбрать? Ответ- подсказка заключается в предыдущей группе подлежащее- сказуемое- «you don’t have patience». В данном предложении мы имеем дело с однородными сказуемыми, следовательно, необходимо выбрать глагол в Present Simple. Здесь нам подойдет словосочетание lose your temper- «Do you find that you don’t have patience with others anymore and you 3) lose your temper easily?», так как необходимо помнить и о сочетаемости местоимений разных разрядов.

В четвёртом предложении Don’t let the traffic in our city 4) ............ a minute longer нам необходимо обратить внимание на модальный глагол let и вспомнить, что он управляет начальной формой глагола без частицы to. C точки зрения лексической сочетаемости нам подойдет фраза get you down- «Don’t let the traffic in our city 4) get you down a minute longer», так как выбранный вариант должен иметь смысл.

В пятом предложении нам тоже необходимо выбрать начальную форму глагола, чтобы она сочеталась с модальным глаголом can’t.Это оставшаяся форма take it anymore-« For those of us who just can’t 5) take it anymore, now’s the time to take action!»
