[00:03.82]Reading and speaking
[00:06.99]Oh,hi Alison,I didn't know
[00:08.92]that you enjoyed running?
[00:11.08]Well,I don't usually run.
[00:12.96]I've just started recently
[00:14.86]because I heard it's good for stress.
[00:17.88]Oh yes,that's why I started running!
[00:20.64]About 3 months ago
[00:22.02]I was really worried about my future
[00:24.61]because I didn't do well in the exams last term
[00:28.66]I started having sleepless nights
[00:30.84]and my school work started to suffer
[00:33.50]so I got even more worried!
[00:35.81]I was also incredibly bad-tempered.
[00:39.14]Did you realise
[00:40.04]that you were suffering from stress?
[00:42.19]I didn't.It wasn't until I had a long talk
[00:45.19]to my mum that I realised I was stressed.
[00:48.52]Then it seemed so obvious.
[00:51.03]Did your mum make any useful suggestions
[00:53.79]for reducing your stress?
[00:56.24]Well,just talking about it really helped,
[00:59.21]so now my mum and I chat
[01:01.88]whenever I start feeling worried.
[01:04.15]She also told me how exercise can help
[01:07.58]so that's why I've been running
[01:09.32]three times a week
[01:10.92]I'm feeling much more energetic
[01:13.01]and so much better!
