PAKET SOAL 3

Jawablah pertanyaan-pertanyaan di bawah ini dengan tepat dan benar.


Soal Essay HOTS Ujian Sekolah Bahasa Inggris SMA SMK: Versi 1
According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death, i.e. heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. More than 75 percent of all physician office visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints.

What causes stress at the work place? Unreasonable deadlines, a toxic environment or fear of losing one’s job are some of the reasons people experience high stress levels at work.

Stress, if channeled properly, can help us focus, speed up our learning and memory as well as accelerate our output, giving us a competitive advantage over our peers. However, if our stress levels are unmanageable and are sustained over a long period of time, it can result in mental, emotional and physical damage.

The good news is that in order for us to manage our stress, we don't need to radically overhaul our lives. Small changes that are consistent and applied over a long period of time can make a great impact and reduce our stress levels drastically. Heighten your sense of awareness: Being aware of ourselves and what thoughts we entertain is the first step towards managing stress. We need to "think about what we think."

Questions
  1. What does the text talk about?
  2. Mention 1 (one) cause of stress among workers as stated in the text.
  3. In what way can stress be advantageous? It can ....
  4. What kind of damage may stress bring if it is not managed properly? ..., ..., and ....
  5. What is one way to reduce stress levels mentioned in the text?

This is the end of the test.
