  1. Read and translate the text, paying special attention to the words and phrases in italics. How to Beat a Holiday Stress

Stress is now a major health issue of our time. People usually consider work as the main cause of stress. But, in fact, holiday stress can be even more damaging. The traditional summer break can undermine health and put pressure on family relationships.

Instead of tackling the problem before going away, a lot of people believe a holiday will work magic for tem. But holidays are spent in a strange place where it may be difficult for tense people to relax. They may feel even more disturbed if they get the idea that others are having more wonderful time than they are. It becomes a vicious circle, with people coming home more stressed than before they went away.

Holiday preparations involve a series of mini-stresses like tying up loose ends at work, remembering to cancel the milk and newspapers, boarding the family pet, arranging foreign currency, last minute shopping, working out how much spending money to take and worrying about securing the home against burglars. Crowded airports, delayed flights, packed hotels are also stress factors for most holidaymakers.

Stress experts say we should take two or three holidays a year instead of a long mid-summer one. A big mistake is to take your holiday according to the month, instead of when your body tells you it is time to unwind. July and August can be the most disastrous months for holidays because there are always crowds, queues and delays. Some people like crowds, but holidays are a time for peace, quiet and personal space.

Disappointment is very stressful. If you have high hopes for your holiday and it lets you down, you won’t be refreshed, and may feel in need of another holiday. It’s not going to kill you, but it won’t help you to recharge your batteries.

Many couple and families are simply not used to spending a long time with each other, and some people cannot cope with that. Another strain is that you are not able to do what you want on holiday. You end up compromising, and no one has a really good time. A wife is going to feel stressed if she has to cook, to look after children and do all the other chores she handles at home, while her husband goes off to play golf.
