EXAM STRESS
I divided my presentation into 3 parts:
First: I’d like to give you an overview of (I)
Second: Let’s focus on (II)
Finally: I am gonna summarize my talk with some of the key points.
And now let’s start with some of the factors that…
I. What makes you feel stressed?

And then how do you feel when you get stressed?
1. Overwhelmed.
2. Confused.
3. Exhausted.
4. Irritable(get mad with the people around you)
5. Anxious.
6. Worried (these things are inevitable when you get stressed)
