UNIT 5. STRESS

I. Lead-in

Are you someone who gets stressed easily?

What things make you stressed?

How do you feel when you are stressed?

Do the quiz and find out how stressed you really are: for each situation, write your Stress Factor (1-5).

1. No problem!

2. Not happy, but keeping cool!

3. Getting a little tense!

4. Heart is beating faster!

5. Major stress alert!

Stress? What stress?

1. You wait in a bus queue for twenty minutes. When the bus comes, you cant get on because there are too many people on it.

2. You walk to work. It starts raining heavily and you havent got an umbrella. You get completely soaked.

3. You take some clothes back to a shop. The assistant wont give your money back because youve lost the receipt.

4. You phone a customer services line to try and fix your computer. You dont manage to speak to a person, just a machine.

5. Youre in your car at traffic lights. Another driver shouts at you for not driving away quickly enough.

6. You go to the cinema to see a really good film. Some people next to you dont stop talking and eating loudly.

7. You play a game of tennis with a friend. You dont play well and he/she beats you easily.

8. Youre just about to go to work/university. You realise you cant find an important document/piece of homework.

9. Youre in bed and you cant sleep because the dog next door is barking.

10. You want to pay for your shopping but the shop assistant is chatting on the phone and not looking at you.

ü Add up your Total Stress Factor and find out what it means:

10-15: You are one cool customer who is always calm under pressure. Well done!

16-25: Not bad...youre mostly stress-free-just a little hot sometimes!

26-35: Keep an eye on yourself. You are nearly at dangerous levels of stress.

36-50: Watch out! You are getting too stressed, too often. You need to keep calm before you go completely crazy!
