What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Most of the students think stress can do harm       them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even       his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually        that someone turns to psychological (心理的)doctors because of heavy working stress. There is no doubt that some people think stress is a dangerous wolf.

On the other hand, other people argue that stress is not a bad thing. They       stress can produce momentum(动力）in the end. For them, right attitude and action can reduce stress and make it        . When I was a child, my mom always pushed me to study hard. She wished I could go to an ideal        for further education. I experienced stress for the first time. Born to a poor family, I deeply knew        was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future.        the saying goes, “no pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up(达到标准） to my mom’s expectation and go to college       . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.
