Stress is a feeling you can have both in your mind and in your body.83.It can make you want to eat less, not talk to your friends and family.
A little stress in life is normal. But controlling stress is important because if you feel stressed for too long, it can seriously affect your body. Older people who have stress for a long time can develop heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious health problems.
The good news is, it can be very easy to control stress. Here are three tips:
Tip 1: Try to eat right. Some people who feel stressed try to feel much better by eating chocolates, ice cream and other sweets. A little sugar isn’t bad for you but don't stop eating fruit and vegetables.
Tip 2：Exercise regularly.84.People who are very busy with jobs or family life can feel tired a lot. Getting regular exercise can give you more energy and help you think about the things in your life that give you stress.
Tip 3: Most importantly, watch out for each other. Stress can make you feel alone. It’s important to watch for stress in people that are close to you: friends look out for friends, teachers look out for students.

Eleven countries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called the Great Green Wall. The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.
The wall is 8,000 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert(撒哈拉沙漠). So far, Senegal has made the best progress by planting about 11,000, 000 trees.
Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry. Since the tree planting project started, the trees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness(湿度) of the air. Little by little, there appeared green fields for people to grow plants.
The project which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8,000, 000, 000 dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting. So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future!
