Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you 
hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about 
letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to please everyone, they take on too many 
tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and 
friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.
There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of coffee or soft 
drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other 
drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to deal with stress: physical exercise is a 
good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have 
to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to stay healthy and full of energy. (Adapted from: 
1. Nowadays, it is important to succeed at school. _________
