Reading Task # 2 Julie
According to Robert Burns in "Unwind- 10 Ways to Manage Stress and Improve your Wellbeing", job stress is one of the most common work-related problems, which result from the interaction of the worker and the conditions of work.
Burns enumerated the causes of job stress such as… (- here! there are many examples, so I’ll write them if they are necessary.) Also Burns said that many large companies are providing stress management training and 'EAP'(Employee Assistance Programmes) to improve the ability of workers to cope with difficult work situations.
Burns viewed a facet of environmental stress. He emphasized that density of population can be measured in a number of different ways. To sum up, people in cities may so restrict their contacts with other people that loneliness becomes the greatest source of stress.
Burns has examined major job stressors and environmental stressors. He described that the aim is to accept that a certain amount of stress is necessary for optimum performance, and that we need to work with stress and not against it.

Hi, Julie,I missed your presentation in class,but I understood what you read.Is the lonliness the greatest sourse of stress??so,,, it means that many students in Yueli may have much stress!!Do you feel lonliness? I do and I'm sleeping too much.I think it is a way to stress out for me.
Julie, I just realized that you always say "This is very interesting" in your life time. Am I right??xDD
Hi Julie, it's interesting that our stress divides into jobs stressor and environmental stressor; and I understood your topic more in our discussion. Neither jobs stressor nor environmental stressor, we can really not avoid them sometimes. I'm going forward to seeing what you will talk about releasing these kinds of stress.
honestly, i don't feel stressful very often....my parents and my friends always think that i should worry about something!!! but i'm not..... what do u think? is it a good thing or i'm in trouble?.... :-(
