00:02

Okay sy writing smokers got another whole paragraphs set for

00:05

you This one's focusing on coherence organization and word choice

00:10

that we don't have any of those skills here So

00:13

we're going to skin this thing member We read the

00:16

first sentence and then skin for key words and then

00:18

we'll pray a lot Ok so here we go If

00:20

there's one thing to live in a stress yeah we're

00:23

skimming economy three hundred billion years get managing stress is

00:28

in our ability identified causes on do that key words

00:31

here mental healthy a long time managing stress whether short

00:35

or long term can depend upon the source of the

00:36

factors Stress your blah blah blah triggers personal values a

00:40

job understanding leblon needy children all those chills All right

00:45

Well the impact stress under your life only unique inviolable

00:48

Have tea with all right no keywords there While we

00:51

cannot always change or eliminate that things that trigger stress

00:54

in our lives we can make a conscious effort to

00:56

change our behavior in response Okay All right Good enough

01:00

let's Just go to the first question here and think

01:02

you don't usually costs extra in context Which of the

01:05

following could provide additional support for the thesis of the

01:09

passage if inserted after sentence once Okay so we got

01:15

sense one right there If there is one aspect Of

01:18

life that affects all of us it's stressed and then

01:21

they go on to safe stress can also have a

01:23

negative financial effect So what would you add after one

01:27

to make that person more powerful Well let's think about

01:31

this Oh yeah thesis has fallen and it can't get

01:35

up without proper support claims Well they just seem to

01:39

wilt like that essay begins with a nice introduction but

01:43

the paragraph in general is really weak It needs some

01:46

beefing up by inserting a sense that explains the problems

01:50

related distress while we can add some muscle to this

01:54

flimsy paragraph So this one right here d does the

01:58

trick Stress can lead to a wide variety of health

02:00

conditions including headaches sleep problems uncharacteristic anger anxiety and even

02:05

depression see that way they're throwing in all these images

02:08

and things that you know and can relate teo and

02:10

probably school on that kind of beef it up and

02:14

make it more powerful Then it flows naturally so that

02:17

sentence to gives the you know kind of counter stuff

02:20

It can also have negative financial effect on top of

02:23

everything else That's a vicious cycle the others don't Work

02:27

well what we don't need is a wimpy generalization that

02:30

doesn't pack enough info to get us going to get

02:32

rid of a And we also don't need information that

02:34

goes off topic and start spouting off some sci fi

02:37

stuff about stress that it's not really proven here So

02:41

be get rid of And finally a mediocre choice would

02:43

be adding mohr tow what's already been said and sense

02:47

One c just adds kind of more uh and we

02:50

don't really want to just be average We want to

02:52

pump up this paragraph you know like that So he

02:55

is the answer and that said we're not going to 00:02:57.458 --> [endTime] stress about being from up here Oh
