too much stress
The problem our group received is: "I have too much stress. Between homework, exams, and expectations from my parents, I feel like I'm always worried and can never relax."
Here are some of our suggestions for this friend:
First, you can try relaxation activities. When you feel stressed, find something that helps you calm down. You could listen to your favorite music, go for a short walk, draw, or even do some deep breathing.
Second, you could talk to someone you trust. Stress feels smaller when you share it. Talk to your parents, a teacher, or a close friend about how you're feeling.
Here is an article about emotions. Let’s read together.

Laughter Is the Best Medicine
Do you often laugh with friends Do you giggle at jokes If you do, that is great, because just as the saying goes: Laughter is the best medicine!
People start laughing from a young age. At around three months old, babies learn to laugh. Even babies that cannot see or hear can laugh. Laughter is a natural part of life! But why is it so important
First of all, laughter is good for our body. When we laugh, our body takes in more oxygen. Every part of our body needs oxygen to work well. Laughter also makes our body work out. Our heart, stomach, and even our shoulders work hard when we laugh! But after we laugh, our muscles feel more relaxed. A good laugh can help you feel relaxed for up to 45 minutes.
Over time, laughter helps our body to get stronger, fight off more diseases, and even create special chemicals to help us feel less pain!
as the saying goes 正如俗话所说
first of all 首先
take in 吸入
work out 锻炼身体; 做运动
fight off 抵抗；击退
over time 随着时间的推移
giggle at/about ... 对着...咯咯笑
Laughter also has many benefits for our mood. When we laugh, it makes us feel less stressed or anxious, and things will not seem so bad. Laughing also causes our brain to release chemicals that make us feel calm and happy. Scientists even think that smiling often is enough to increase these chemicals in our brain.
But it is not always easy to laugh on our own. We are 30 times more likely to laugh when we are around others. According to some scientists, laughter can show others that we want to be close to them. Monkeys clean one another’s fur to show friendship. But people laugh so that others will know that they are being friendly.
Some people even join laughing groups. Although they force themselves to laugh at first, after hearing other people laugh, their laughter becomes real! Before long, the whole group of people is laughing hard.
The next time you feel unhappy, try thinking about something funny. Although you might not want to laugh when you are sad, doing so can make you feel better!
anxious adj. 焦虑；忧虑；担心
release v. 释放；放出
on one’s own =by oneself 独自地
be likely to do sth 可能做某事
be/get close to 靠近；接近
= each other 互相；彼此
force sb to do sth 强迫某人做某事
before long 不久；很快
try doing sth 试着做某事
拓展：try to do sth
尽力/设法做某事
