Part 1:
Sarah: Hi Mark. You look tired. Is everything okay?
Mark: Oh, hi Sarah. Not really. I'm so stressed out. I have this huge history project due next week, and several other deadlines are coming up. I just don't know how to manage it all.
Sarah: I understand that feeling. What do you do on the weekends? You should relax a bit.
Mark: I try to, but I just end up worrying about all the work I have to do. Then I try to study, but I get distracted by my phone and end up wasting time. I never feel like I accomplish anything.
Sarah: Hmm, it sounds like you need a better system. The first thing I do every Sunday is create a weekly plan. I write down all my tasks and their due dates.
Mark: A schedule? Does that really help?
Sarah: Yes, a lot! It helps me set priorities. I know exactly what I need to work on each day. It's the best way to feel in control. Of course, you also have to make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep and some exercise. Those are important, too.
Mark: Set priorities... I guess I don't really do that. I just do whatever feels most urgent.
Sarah: Exactly. If you finish your project by Saturday, for example, you can go to the cinema with us. Think of it as a reward.
Mark: That sounds like a good idea. Thanks, Sarah. I'll try making a plan tonight.

Part 2:
Ms. Davis: Good morning, students. I'm Ms. Davis, your school counsellor. Today, I want to share a few simple tips for maintaining a well-balanced life, which is crucial for both your success and your happiness.
First, let's talk about schoolwork. A common mistake is delaying your work. Procrastination creates unnecessary stress. You should start assignments well before the due date. Never leave things until the last minute.
Second, don't forget your physical health. It’s easy to sit and study for hours, but your body needs to move. Regular exercise isn't just good for your body; it's essential for your mental health too. It helps reduce stress and clears your mind.
Third, you must learn to manage distractions. Social media and video games can take hours of your time. When you need a break from studying, it's better to stand up, stretch, or walk around for a few minutes instead of looking at a screen. Those apps are designed to keep you scrolling, not to give you a real rest.
Next, sleep. It's not a luxury; it's a necessity. If you get seven to eight hours of sleep, you will find it much easier to concentrate during your lessons the next day. A tired mind cannot learn effectively.
Finally, remember, the goal isn't to be a perfect student with top grades in everything. The goal is to be a healthy, happy, and well-balanced individual. It's okay if things aren't perfect. Focus on doing your best while also taking care of yourself.
