參考范文
As the picture above presents, a blindfolded man is trying to measure his pressure. 1 Self-deceptive though he may seem, yet people are actually open to various pressure from the hustle and bustle of modern life in this competitive society. 2 Appropriate pressure can motivate us to make progress, while too much pressure will have harmful effects on our life and work. Since we cannot avoid it, we must learn to handle it positively. 3
Firstly 4 , it is important to have a correct understanding of pressure. Pressure is like a double-edged sword. 5 The key is whether we hold the blade or the handle. We should make full use of it and avoid being hurt by it. Secondly 4 , find your own way of releasing pressure, such as listening to music, writing diaries, chatting with friends, etc. At last 4 , learn to “give up”. Usually the more people want, the more pressure they will get. So sometimes it is wise to learn to give something up.
To sum up, the pressure of life is inevitable, and thus we must learn to handle it effectively. We must have a right understanding of it, find our own way of reducing it and occasionally learn to give something up. 6
如上圖所示，一個(gè)人蒙上眼睛試圖衡量自己的壓力大小。他可能看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)兒自欺欺人，其實(shí)在這個(gè)高度競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的社會(huì)，人們不可避免地會(huì)受到來(lái)自喧囂的現(xiàn)代生活的壓力。適當(dāng)?shù)膲毫梢约?lì)我們獲取進(jìn)步，而太多的壓力則會(huì)有害于我們的生活和工作。既然我們不能避免壓力，就必須學(xué)會(huì)積極地應(yīng)對(duì)它。
首先，正確理解壓力非常重要。壓力就像一把雙刃劍，關(guān)鍵看我們所持的是刀刃還是刀柄。我們應(yīng)該充分利用壓力，避免被劃傷。其次，找到自己的減壓方式，比如聽(tīng)音樂(lè)、寫(xiě)日記、找朋友聊天等。最后，學(xué)會(huì)“放棄”。通常，人們渴求的越多，壓力就越大。因此，有時(shí)候?qū)W會(huì)放棄是明智的。
總而言之，生活中的壓力是不可避免的，我們必須學(xué)會(huì)有效地處理它。我們必須對(duì)壓力有正確的認(rèn)識(shí)，找到自己的減壓方式，學(xué)會(huì)偶爾放棄一些東西。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Self-deceptive though he may seem, yet people are actually open to various pressure from the hustle and bustle of modern life in this competitive society.
倒裝句使句式結(jié)構(gòu)靈活多變，這句話(huà)改成正常的語(yǔ)序應(yīng)該是Though he may seem self-deceptive...。
2. Usually the more people want, the more pressure they will get.
本句采用了“the more ... the more ...”的句型，使得語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔但邏輯性強(qiáng)，突出了人們的欲望和壓力大小的關(guān)系。
