When we feel stressed, we’d better talk with our friends, parents or teachers. Then, doing sports is useful, such as riding bikes, going swimming and so on. What’s more, it’s great to have hobbies. For example, we can go to the movies or listen to soft music in our spare time. Travelling in holiday is another way to make us relaxed.
