#1 What are the people doing in the photos? Do you think these are good or bad habits? Why?
A) In the first picture, the young boy is playing games. In many cases, gaming can do more harm than good such as the increase of heart problems when
you play video games excessively, and can also exacerbate psychological problems.

B) In this second picture, the boy is seen playing with his phone while eating his meal. It is a bad habit because scientists warned that using smartphones at
mealtimes can lead to an expanding waistline and Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their
phones while eating.

C) The girl is seen either running or jogging early in the morning. This is a good habit as early exercises will help you start the day with more energy, focus,
and optimism. Plus, after a morning workout, you're more likely to eat healthily and stay active throughout the day.

D) The students seem to be copying each other’s homework while on their way to school. This is a bad habit because it is counted as cheating and
plagiarizing. The main effects of cheating are course failure, suspension, expulsion, lack of confidence, and ruined academic integrity.

#2. Tick the bad habits that you have. Then add two more of your own.
☑ not doing enough exercise
◻ leaving your homework until the last minute

◻ playing computer games when you should be studying
☑ getting up late for school (sometimes)
My two bad habits are being on my phone most of the time and staying up until late at night.

#3. Work in pairs. What can you do to change some of these habits?

This is your life, you get to do the things you love and feel free in as long as you know which is right and which is wrong. Take a look around you, you're
never alone, you have friends who love you, and real friends will always appreciate you the way you are and they will guide you into a path that shines.
