思路点拨 
现代社会的节奏越来越快，人们的压力也越来越大。大家都有不同的减压方法，有人读书，有人进行体育锻炼，有人则选择修整自己的花园。题目要求考生谈谈自己认为哪些是最好的减压方法并展开论述。       
本文写作的难点在于，考生往往觉得只论证一个最好的减压方法难度很大，因为很难写够题目规定的400字。考生往往会一开始就说自己要采取什么方法，然后说明原因，这样就存在题目开得太小，不好写的问题。这篇文章可按照一般的议论文的思路去写，即提出问题——分析问题——解决问题。要注意，题目中说的是the bestways，而不是mebestway，即可以提出若干种减压方法，说说它们各自的好处。
本文的写作模板如下：
·开篇部分首先说明什么是压力。
中间部分可以先分析产生压力的原因，然后提出自己都有哪些压力，最后分别阐述如何释放自己的压力。
·最后概括：释放压力对身心都有好处。
