Can’t balance study and life
not confident about the figure(身形), the look, and even myself
What health problems do you have
Exercise: If I am by myself,I can listen to my favourite music on headphones while I exercise. I can also exercise with a friend to make it more enjoyable.
Stress:I won't work for too long at a time.If I work for around 45 minutes then take a short 10-minute break, my work will be better and I will feel more relaxed.
How to deal with the problems
Self-confidence: To be more confident, I should know what I am good at, and accept what I am not good at. I can't be good at everything! If I want to improve at something, I won't let small failures put me off. I will keep trying and will reach my goal. Keeping fit also helps me.
Food: Always try and have vegetables with my meals and balance the different types of food groups. Don't eat too much of one thing. Also,don't eat very big portions（分量）.

One Possible Version
I always felt anxious and stressful at senior high school at first because I was afraid of being left behind. I was worried about so many things that I couldn’t sleep well and focus on my study.
Then, I read a book called “Who Moved Your Cheese” which made me realize that making changes can make a difference to life. Instead of just worrying about my study, I would make a schedule for my study and finish the to-do list. Rather than being anxious the whole day, I would do some exercises regularly and listen to music to relieve my stress and tiredness after studying, which also helped me feel more energetic.
Now, I stopped feeling upset about something new. Instead, I would also always remind myself to smile as often as possible and stay positive about everything that is going to happen.
