Passage A
A recent survey shows that more than 60% of young people in big cities feel stressed because they can’t keep a balance between work and life. They often work overtime and have little time for family, hobbies or exercise.
Dr. Li, a psychologist, says that this imbalance is bad for both physical and mental health. “When people don’t have time to relax, they get tired easily and may even suffer from anxiety or depression,” he explains. Dr. Li suggests some ways to fix this. First, set clear boundaries between work and life. For example, don’t answer work calls after working hours. Second, make time for activities you enjoy, like reading, sports or spending time with loved ones. Third, learn to say “no” to extra work that will take up too much of your time.
Many people have tried these methods and found them helpful. Wang Mei, a 28-year-old office worker, says, “After I started leaving work on time and doing yoga every evening, I feel much happier and more energetic. My work performance has also improved.”

Passage B
Technology has brought many conveniences to our lives, but it also has some negative effects on the natural world. For example, factories powered by technology produce pollution that harms rivers and forests. Also, the increasing use of electronic devices leads to more e-waste, which is difficult to recycle.
However, there are ways to balance technology and nature. Many companies are now using clean energy, like solar or wind power, to run their factories. This reduces pollution and protects the environment. Some tech companies are also designing products that are easier to recycle. For example, a phone company has created a phone made of materials that can be fully recycled.
Individuals can also play a part. We can reduce our use of electronic devices, recycle e-waste properly, and support companies that use green technology. By doing these small things, we can help create a better balance between technology and nature.

To achieve this, first, I’ll make a daily schedule: spend 2 hours on homework, then 1 hour playing the guitar. Second, I’ll ensure 8 hours of sleep every night and avoid staying up late. Third, I’ll say “no” to extra tasks that will make me stressed.
I believe these steps will help me live a balanced and fulfilling life.
