They have to choose between being unemployed or standing high pressure. Unfortunately, both result in negative feeling, which we often call "stress". Moreover, not many people have a good time-management skill, so they must deal with the difficulty of balancing work, study and relaxation. For example, you have to learn many skills at once and the teacher teaches a lot of individual skill exercises as reading, writing, listening, and grammar. It’s difficult to arrange your schedule to do all homework and have time to relax. Next, things that stress people are the difference in language when you live in a foreign country.

It also makes it difficult for you to make new friends and eventually isolated. The truth is that failure in relationships is also a cause of stress. For example, if you talk to a friend from another country, you may argue, even fight if you misunderstood friends.
Finally, financial problems also cause you stress. Commodity prices increasingly expensive while wages is limited. That makes it difficult to adjust expenditures in the family and could lead to shortages spending. For instance, you have to pay a lot of money for
