Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back. From the
first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send ….” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The
only language that is easy to learn is one’s mother language. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second
World War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one.
How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television
programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3

times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn the
language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it
is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in
order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports
in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good
books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.

Practical stress management can help students deal with their worries and become more productive, competent
and efficient. First of all, students must be able to design and stick to a timetable. Choose a relaxing break
between work and study, even if it's just taking out time to breathe. In addition, a healthy lifestyle is essential for
students. Let’s drink more water as well as take out time to get some air and exercise. Furthermore, organization is
very important in academic life for dealing with stress. By keeping academic notes organized, turning in
assignments time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great extent. Stress can also get
worse if a person feels lonely. Therefore, by letting out all your thoughts to someone you trust, you immediately
feel a lot better. However, if you feel extremely stressed out, take a break and do something you love. Whether it is
painting or listening music, doing something you enjoy can cheer up your mood and distract you from a stressor.
