参考范文：

Is Stress a Bad Thing?

Nowadays, our life is full of stress. Despite some negative influence, stress is generally a positive factor in our life.

We cannot live without stress because it forces us to compete in the modern society; to fight with our competitors and to gain a perfect life and bright future. Without stress, people may become easily-satisfied and they would not consider how to improve their current situation and how to lead a better life.

In a certain sense, stress is a kind of powerhouse which drives our society moving forward. It forces all members to work hard and win in the fierce competition. Therefore, without stress, our society will stop its forward paces.

压力是坏事吗？

我们的现实生活中充满了压力。尽管这种压力可能会对人们的生活带来一些负面影响，但总体来说，压力却是我们生活中的积极因素。

我们的生活不能没有压力，因为压力也是一种在现代社会生存的动力，这种动力使得我们与竞争对手奋斗，追求完美的人生和光明的前途。如果没有压力，人们将安于现状而不思进取。

在某种意义上，压力也是一种推动社会发展的动力，它促使所有的社会成员去努力工作，并在激烈的竞争中取胜。因此，如果没有压力，人类社会将停止它前进的步伐。

满分作文：

Is Stress a Bad Thing?

“I can’t stand the pressure and competition,” explained one of my friends when asked why he decided to quit his highly-paid but demanding position in his company recently. My friend may have his own reasons, but I don’t think his decision is wise in reality.

It’s true that my friend’s case is not unique. In the last few years quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive at the cost of a comfortable life. They are afraid that stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both mentally and physically. In fact, stress isn’t a bad thing that it is often supposed to be. Unless it gets out of control, a

certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. People under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth — the very aim of a human life.

It seems to me that stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than escape from it.
