When it comes to exams, it is extremely difficult to avoid a certain amount of anxiety. Unfortunately, some
students become so (1) ___________ overtaken by stress, ignoring the (2) ___________ of their teachers and
their own rational judgement, that they can actually develop symptoms of physical illness. It’s shocking that an
overload of stress can have such disastrous effects. Take my friend Sarah, for example. Her determination to
get into law school eventually landed her in hospital, but none of us had seen how serious her condition had
become. At first, she was just a bit moody. Then, however, she became really (3) ___________, shouting at us,
even when we were trying to help. Later, we found out that problems with her sleep pattern had developed
into a full-blown inability to sleep at all, while her claiming to feel nauseous all the time simply disguised the
fact that she wasn’t eating regularly. Luckily, with professional help, Sarah made a full (4) ___________, and
she also learnt some new coping techniques, which she says have been a huge help in rethinking how to
approach her studies!

Many people who live highly stressed lives suffer from (1) _______________ (anxious) and depression.
Part of the reason for this is that those who choose stressful or high-powered jobs often put a lot of pressure
on themselves. They expect perfection, so when they fail to attain it – which is, unfortunately, almost
inevitable – they blame themselves and end up feeling even worse. Many ask their doctor to prescribe
(2) _______________ (medic) to improve their mood, or they will make an appointment with
a (3) _______________ (special), but there is a more enjoyable and healthier way to deal with stress: yoga.
Yoga promotes relaxation by stretching your muscles and loosening up your joints, and it also shift your mental
focus away from daily problems. Yoga has also been known to be beneficial for young children whose
(4) _______________ (behave) may be problematic. It has also been shown to help people recovering from
(5) _______________ (addict), many of whom have found it a great help in their recovery. You may think yoga
is not for you, but my advice is not to knock it until you’ve tried it.
