What are the most common things people do when they feel stressed? Are they healthy or unhealthy? SS must talk in pairs

Ask students to send in the chat suggestions on how to deal with stress, with sickness, with traffic, and with a lot of homework. AI answers/ translations will be disqualified.
Have students vote by liking and hearting the best advice. After that, students must write in their notebooks
Have students provide their answers, ask if they agree with the ideas, and notate on the board.
Go over the sentences in the chart in the Grammar Reference on the slide. Explain the basics of complex sentences. and ask if that is what they answered.
