make a confession
The police interviewed him for five hours before he finally made a confession.

2. estimate  V.
to try to judge the value, size, speed, cost etc of something, without calculating it exactly

estimate that
Scientists estimate that smoking reduces life expectancy by around 12 years on average.

3. freak out  phrasal verb (informal)
to become very anxious, upset, or afraid, or make someone very anxious, upset, or afraid

freak somebody out
The whole idea freaked me out.

My thoughts:

I also thought that the stress makes people sick before I watch this video. This video is really change my mind about stress.

A little test of a math make people's heart be pounding and breathing faster, or maybe breaking out into a sweat. I think it is interesting.

When we familiar with this test,we can be funny with this. So, really the stress bad for us?

I think a little stress can make we progress!
