Questions 25 29 are based on a letter from the talk given below.

A very good morning to the Chairman of the Residents Club, ladies and
gentlemen.
First and foremost, thank you very much for inviting me to give a talk
relating to stress. Let me introduce myself, I am Dr Tunasya, a psychiatrist
from the Pahang General Hospital.
In todays modern and fast-moving society, practically everyone is very
stressed and tensed up. The question here is what do we do when we feel
stressed?
Go for a walk, a jog or even a swim if you feel stressed out. You will find
that it makes difference and it costs you nothing. Go shopping or at least
window-shopping. It helps you to release whatever stress you have. Go
from one shop to another, maybe you will come across to something that
you like, lets say a dress or a handbag or a wallet.

A person who is very stress needs someone to talk to. You will feel good
that someone is willing to lend you an ear. If you do not have anyone, try
calling the Befrienders. They are there for anyone around-the-clock.
Music, especially classical music, helps to sooth the nerves. So when
you are stressed, do listen to this type of music. It relieves you of your pain
and stress. You can try this, close your eyes and imagine that you are in a
place where there is a brook nearby. You can hear the soft waves beating
against the bank. You can also imagine that you are walking on the white
soft sandy beach. Dream your stress away.
I guess thats about all I have to say today. Thank you for your
attention.
