4. How can stress at work affect your personal life
？
If something goes wrong at work, it will bother you a lot, and it might be hard to forget about
the problem, even when you get home. Ideally
（＝
in a perfect world), it would be nice to be able
to leave work behind and enjoy life with family or friends completely, but I am afraid that is almost
impossible. People focus on their work a lot, especially ambitious people who want to do a great
job
．
Work is often a priority in people's life, and a husband who is stressed at work might get
frustrated
（＝
annoyed
＝
upset) when he gets home and his baby is crying or his wife is complaining.
It's hard to balance both success at work and a happy personal life.
5. What changes in lifestyle and work practices might help to reduce stress?
First of all, I think that bosses should not ask their employees to work overtime unless it is
really necessary. In China, a lot of workers have a tight schedule; they often work long hours
．
I
think that a good boss should arrange a better timetable for his or her staff. In addition, I think that
companies should try to organize more social activities for the workers in order for everyone to get
to know their colleagues better. Workers should also get enough sleep at night in order to be well-
rested before they go to work. If they are tired, they might become impatient. I think that doing
sports regularly will also give them a chance to reduce their stress levels.
