The Effects of Stress

The word ‘stress’ refers to a feeling of panic that makes a person want to
stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means
pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in
modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health
problems.
     There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can
increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood
pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can
cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide.
Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting
food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms
resulting from stress.
     Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often
feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When
people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a
normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for
dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
     Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression,
an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and
increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of
overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as
anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If
stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
     It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the
emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great
influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds.
So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

TAPESCRIPT
Part 1:
In 2016, the archaelogical site of Philippi in Greece was listed as a World
Heritage Site by UNESCO. It was one of 21 such sites that made the grade last
year. The World Heritage Convention was adopted in 1972 with the aim of
protecting the world’s most valuable natural and cultural treasures. One of the
first World Heritage Sites was the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Italy has the
most UNESCO World Heritage sites with 51 followed by China, Spain, France,
Germany and Mexico. There are now a total of 1052 World Heritage Sites around
the world in 165 countries. 814 of them are cultural sites that may have historical
or anthropological value. 203 are natural sites that may include habitats for
threatened species. And 35 are a mixture of both types. But some of them are at
risk. Of 229 sites identified by the World Wildlife Fund as being significant for
their natural value in 2016, almost half are threatened by industrial development,
such as illegal logging, mining and oil and gas development. Being designated as
World Heritage Sites can bring attention and put pressure on governments to
protect areas, but the publicity can also cause an uptick intourism to the sites,
leading to further degradation. 55 Wolrd Heritage Sites are listed as being in
danger, some of them due to conflict. All six of Syria’s UNESCO’s World
Heritage Sites have been damaged or destroyed in the war. Palmyra was an
ancient city whose well-preserved ruins were partially blown up by Islamic State
millitants after they seized control of the area. But World Heritage does not only
consist of places you can visit. UNESCO has a list of things of “intangible
cultural heritage” that includes items such as yoga, Turkish coffee and Belgium
beer. They, at least, do not seem to be at risk of disappearing anytime soon.
PART 2:
Student: Good morning. May I come in?
Lecturer: Yes. come in please.
Student: I’m a new student and I’m looking for the office of engineering faculty.
Is this the right place?
Lecturer: Yes, this is the Faculty of Engineering. How can I help you?
Student: I know there was an orientation meeting last Friday. but I did not attend
that meeting, so I’m wondering if someone could give me some information
about… you know the campus life or course requirements or something like that.
Lecturer: Yes. Sit down please. Where should we begin?
Student: Firstly, how many lectures do I have to attend every week?
Lecturer: You know there are not too many lectures of postgraduate courses. Let
me check. Oh, you have lectures on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon,
from 2p.m. to 4p.m.
Student: How often do I have to attend seminars in a week?
Lecturer: Well, there is only one group seminar on Thursday morning at 9
o'clock .
Student: You mean the group?
Lecturer: Yes.
Student: How many people are there in one group?
Lecturer: About 3 to 5.
Student: Fine.
Lecturer: You will discuss about 20 minutes and then the representative of your
group will give a short presentation.
Student: A presentation?
Lecturer: Right.
Student: Do all members in group have a chance to give a presentation ?
Lecturer: Maybe. And then your subject advisor will give you a mark.
Student: A mark? Does that mean the representative’s mark is all members’ mark?
Lecturer: That’s right.
Student: How about attendance ?
Lecturer: The postgraduate attendance is only 70% . But a few students will be
absent in our faculty.
Student: Fine. Should I choose the time? Because I have a part-time job.
Lecturer: I am afraid not. You know the postgraduate course is very intensive. We
do not suggest that our students do any jobs.
Student: Yes, I see. I will spend time on my course. Oh, how many modular
courses are there in the coming academic year?
Lecturer: You have three modular courses from September to June next year.
Student: OK.
Lecturer: Anything else can I help you with?
Student: I’d like to know some information about the course assessment .
Lecturer: Well, beside presentation you will have an exam at the end of the term.
Student: An exam? What type of exam?
Lecturer: It’s an open book exam.
Student: Fine.
Lecturer: But your main assessment is assignment.
Student: You mean homework?
Lecturer: Yes. You will have to write an assignment with 6 to 7 thousand words
every month.
Student: 6,000 to 7,000 ?
Lecturer: Yes.
Student: Oh. How about the topic?
Lecturer: Your tutor will give you some advice on the topic based on some course
hand outs or reference books, but you have to narrow the topic by yourself.
Student: So can I choose the topic of essay by myself?
Lecturer: Yes, of course.
Student: Great.
Lecturer: You must pay attention to your essay deadline. All assignment work
must be handed in before the deadline your tutor gives you.
Student: When should I visit my tutor?
Lecturer: You should check your tutor’s name and contact number on our website.
Student: Fine.
Lecturer: Do you have a library card ?
Student: No. I have not applied for one.
Lecturer: I think you should register for a Library Card first. Because you need it
when you borrow reference books from library.
Student: OK. I will apply for one tomorrow morning.
Lecturer: Anything else?
Student: The last thing is how can I get my username and password of our
university’s website.
Lecturer: First you should go to The Computer Centre to register and then they
will give you a username and password.
Student: That’s fine. Thanks for your introduction .
Lecturer: You are welcome. See you later.
Student: See you.

PART 3
 You will hear a radio programme in which two people, Alison Kreel and David Walsh,
who each run a food business, are discussing the premises they share.
You now have one minute in which to look at Part Three.

Interviewer:
The old Siston building has now been renovated and my guests today are just a couple of the
dynamic entrepreneurs who are busy cooking up new and exciting food products from the
communal kitchens there: Alison Kreel of Kreel Soups and David Walsh from Sea Veg salads.
Great to have you on the programme ... Now tell me, is there any more room in the market for
new quality food businesses? Some would say we’ve reached saturation point...
Alison: Not at all. That’s what’s so exciting - it seems people can’t get enough of high quality food
products.
David: Yeah but it’s changing - customers are much more discerning than they used to be
- they want to know how the food is produced, which was much less the case in the past.

Alison: And how it’s sourced too. And you really need a strong brand identity to break into the market
which isn’t how it used to be - especially here in Brooklyn where there’s such a strong food
culture.
David: Yeah customers here really keep you on your toes!
Interviewer: 1 can believe that! ...There’s been a lot of investment put into the Siston building. Why do you
think it’s been so easy to get funding for projects like this?
David: It’s a win-win situation. Iconic old buildings get a makeover and a new lease of life and young
businesses get a kick start. 1 don’t know how many of US would still be in work if we didn’t have
this opportunity - since the authorities started coming down hard on anyone trying to start a
business from their own kitchen.
Interviewer Because all kitchens have to be state-certified?
David: Right. So 1 think investors understood that it’s a way of keeping the entrepreneurial spirit alive -
anyone could see that this project was a safe bet as there’s huge demand for our kind of products.
But you’d need serious money behind you to go it alone.
Alison: Yeah fifty thousand dollars minimum.
Interviewer: So 1 can see that it works in financial terms but what’s it like sharing kitchen space?
Alison: I’d say there are more gains than losses. It’s inspiring being around like-minded creative
individuals. We kind of bounce off each other.
David: It does mean there’s no thinking space though. But as a group we buy in bulk from suppliers
which makes things cheaper.
Alison: And we’re so close to all our main markets. And you know making soup, which is what
iHGHG
 I’m involved in, is a messy business so what blew me away was the waterproof ‘clean’ room.
Cleaning up used to take forever but now 1 can just hose everything down in a matter of minutes.

David: 1 think that’s it. We’re really lucky because the space has been so well thought out - everything’s
state-of-the-art.
Alison: So we’re all able to work much more efficiently.
Interviewer: So has the moving into the new building changed the way you view your future?
Alison: For me - yes. I’m in a really good place now with a clear sense of direction which is to build up
my customer base locally. Both from my own market stall and by supplying delis. It’s also
dawned on me that 1 should try out making smoothies in summer when demand for soup isn’t
that high. So my grand plans of opening my own chain of cafes nationwide are on hold for the
moment!
Interviewer: 1 see. So what advice would you pass on to someone just starting out?
David:
1 probably should say do your homework - test out recipes on friends, get a job in a food market,
talk to other food producers and learn from their mistakes, and of course make sure you can make
a reasonable margin. Do you know what? Nothing beats just going ahead and doing it.
Alison: Otherwise it’s easy to talk yourself out of the whole idea.
Interviewer

Well, I’m afraid that’s all we [fade] [pause]

Now you will hear Part Three again. tone
[The recording is repeated.] [pause]

PART 4
This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines: 
The Prime Minister has promised to help the drought stricken farmers in the northern part of
the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney, a group of school
children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after take-
off. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne over a pay claim and the strike looks set to
spread to other states. And on a fashionable note, there s to be a new look for the staff of
QANTAS, Australia’s national airline.
The Prime Minister has pledged today that he will make two hundred and fifty million
dollars available to help the drought stricken farmers who have not seen ram for years, get
through the next five years. Money that was to have been spent on the re-structuring
of Sydney’s road system has been re-allocated to what the Prime Minister described as 'a
more worthy cause'. Farmers are to receive financial assistance to help see them through the
worst drought in over 50 years. Many farmers feel that while the money is welcome it has
come too late to save them and their farms from financial ruin and are angry that the
government did not act sooner.
A group of school children who were travelling in a privately chartered aeroplane from
Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert found themselves swimming for the
shore when their aeroplane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from
Sydney airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in
the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats and pleasurecraft were able to come to the rescue
of the boys. 
The fact that it was a weekend meant that there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying
the good weather and this undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. 'We owe our lives to the
skill of the pilot,' said one of the boys, but the pilot replied modestly that it was 'all part of a
day’s work'. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at
their concert.
