15.It is said that peoples life now is becoming more and more stressful. What are the causes and how to solve it?


The acceleration of industrialization and the prosperity of economy benefit our society a great deal. But with the speeding up of economic development, people are facing more and more pressure from various aspects of their life. This essay will explore the causes for the heavy pressure and put forward some feasible solutions. (52 words)

One of the major causes is that peoples living rhythm has been promoted immensely with the upgrading of neo-knowledge and hi-tech. To keep abreast with the society, people have to work intensively on the one hand and improve their knowledge on the other. The economic globalization strengthened international cooperation and expand peoples scope of activity. The fierce social competition deprives people of their spare time and makes their life more stressful. (71 words)

Another factor comes from the pressure of peoples family. People in the current society have to shoulder the responsibility of family maintenance. On the one hand, people have to care for their parents, creating for them a happy and comfortable life. On the other hand, they have to give their children good education. To earn more money, people have to work very hard to finance their family. (67 words)

If people live in heavy pressure, they will have problems both physically and psychologically. To relieve the pressure, I think the following suggestions are feasible and practical. Firstly, people are suggested to go in for some sports games in their spare time or at the weekend. Sports can build up peoples physique and make them vigorous. Secondly, people should communicate with others frequently and confess their trouble and difficulty to others, which is a very magic way to release ones pressure. Finally, people have to find a balance between money and health. Otherwise, ones health will be overdrawn and spoiled by money earning. (103 words)

In brief, good life should not be obtained at the price of the deterioration of ones health. People should improve their living pattern and lead a life of high quality. (30 words) (323 words totally)
