N: you're a good student. I'm sure you can do well. What you need to do is to relax.
G: you're probably right. I just wish it were that simple. How can I stop feeling so anxious all the time?
N: taking a yoga class or learning some relaxation techniques can help you cope with your stress.
G: I don't really have time to learn anything new. I need to spend my time studying!

N: besides, it’s not diffciult to learn yoga. In fact, I can teach you a move that’s supposed to help you fall asleep! You just have to sit down like this, bend over and breath in deeply.
G: that’s fantastic. I’m going to go try that out in my room now. good night!
N: good night, sleep tight; don’t let the bed bugs bite!



你怎麼還醒着?難道昨晚到現在你都沒閤眼嗎？
我最近一直很難入睡。
據我說知，失眠往往是由壓力引起的。你壓力很大嗎？
是的，我真的很擔心我的考試成績。我沒想到這門課壓力會這麼重。
你是個好學生。我相信你能學的很好。你需要做的是放鬆心情。
你也許是對的。我只是希望能簡簡單單的。我怎麼才能不這麼焦慮呢？
上個瑜伽班或者學習一些能夠讓自己放鬆的方法，這些能夠幫你減壓。
我實在沒時間學習任何新玩意了。我得把時間都用來學習。
你一天中總得休息幾次。整天都在學習，那效率也不會太高的。
你說的對，我常常對着電腦發呆，或者收看電子郵件，而作業卻沒寫。
另外，學瑜伽其實不怎麼難。其實，我可以教你一個動作，沒準兒可以幫你入睡。你只需要像這樣坐着，彎腰然後深呼吸。
這太神奇了。我現在就回我房間試着做做看。晚安！
晚安，睡得香點，別讓臭蟲咬到！(英國兒歌)
