Transcript/translation:
Alonso:Muchos de mis amigos se estresan mucho por el trabajo del cole pero a mí no me afecta nada. La verdad es que no me importa mucho si saco buenas notas en los exámenes o no. (Many of my friends get very stressed by schoolwork but it doesn't affect me at all. The truth is that I'm not very bothered whether I get good marks in the exams or not.)
Ana:En general no sufro mucho de estrés pero cuando llegan los examénes, sí, me afecta mucho. Por eso, a veces no siempre lo hago lo mejor posible en los exámenes. (In general, I don't suffer a lot from stress but when the exams come around, yes, it affects me a lot. For that reason, I don't always do the best I can in the exams.)
Enrique:Soy muy competitivo y por eso siempre quiero sacar buenas notas en los exámenes. Mis amigos piensan que no trabajo mucho pero en realidad hago mucho más trabajo y estoy mucho más estresado de lo que creen. (I'm very competitive and so I always want to get good marks in the exams. My friends think that I don't work hard but really I do much more work and I'm much more stressed than they think.)
Laida:El estrés me afecta bastante. Siempre estoy estresada y cuando llegan los exámenes no como casi nada y apenas duermo. Me gustaría ser más relajada pero lo encuentro muy difícil. (Stress affects me quite a bit. I'm always stressed and when the exams come around, I eat almost nothing and I hardly sleep. I'd like to be more relaxed but I find it very difficult.)
