After the student has answered, say:
When a person is stressed they often feel very anxious or uptight, and they can’t always think clearly or do things as calmly and sensibly as they might like. When the stress is really serious and keeps on going, it can be very harmful to a person’s health.

I muri o te whakautu a te äkonga, me kï:
Mëna kei te pöraruraru tëtahi tangata, kä awangawanga, ka hëmanawa töna ähua, ka ngaro haere öna whakaaro, ka aurere, käore e tino whai hua kia äta tutuki ki täna hiahia. A, mënä ka tino taumaha, ä, ka pöraruraru tonu, kua patu i te hauora o taua tangata.

3. Imagine that a friend was feeling really stressed because they had so much to do, everything seemed to be going wrong, and things just didn’t seem to be getting any better. How could you help this friend? Try to tell me three things that you would suggest to your friend to help them deal with their stress. I’ll write down your ideas as you think of them.

As the student says each idea, record it and read it aloud. Where 2 or more ideas are given as one, suggest that they be written separately.
