4. What would you advise the expert to do to control this habit
1. Why is a good night’s sleep important for the first student
A good night’s sleep is important because it will help with their schoolwork.
2. Why does the second student never exercise
Because he always picks up his phone instead of exercising.
3. What is the expert’s bad habit Do you think it is a health problem
The expert drinks too much coffee. It can be a health problem because too much is bad for the heart and can cause headaches and other problems.
4. What would you advise the expert to do to control this habit
I would suggest that the expert change the habit slowly by drinking smaller cups of weak coffee, and then try to change coffee for another drink. Later he should do more exercise as this can stimulate the body like coffee does but has more positive benefits.
Breaking and building habits
T=teacher D = Doctor S1 = Student 1 S2 = Student 2
T: Thank you so much for speaking to the class, Doctor. It was a really interesting talk.
D: That’s very kind of you.
T: Could you answer some questions about habits and lifestyle from the students
D: Sure. I’d love to.
S1: Hello. I have trouble sleeping. It often takes me a long time to fall asleep at night. It’s affecting my schoolwork because I’m always tired in the daytime.
D: I see. What do you do just before you go to sleep
S1: I usually pick up my phone.
D: Oh, I think the phone could be the problem. It makes your brain more active, which makes it hard to sleep. Your cue is going to bed. The routine is picking up your phone. To change the cycle, don’t keep your phone in your bedroom at night. You’ll find you sleep better, and much easier too!
Tapescript:
S1: Thanks, Doctor. I’ll give it a try.
D: You’re welcome. Any other problems I can help with
S2: Hi. I feel depressed about being a little overweight. I want to exercise every night after dinner, but I always just pick up my phone. What can I do
D: To create a good habit is the same as creating a bad one, but you must take small steps to begin with. So, your cue can still be finishing dinner, but make the routine to turn off your phone and walk outside - for just five minutes. A five-minute walk is so easy. It’s hard to say no! When this has become a habit, walk for longer. Don’t worry about losing weight at first. Focus on the habit of going out and build from there.
S2: Thanks for the advice, Doctor. I’ll try it tonight.
T: Well thank you again for your talk today, Doctor. Now, would you like a cup of coffee
D: That’s very nice of you. but I drink too much coffee. I still have some bad habits, too!
It is important to know whether what the speakers say is a fact or an opinion. An opinion is a subjective statement and a fact is objective. A fact is what really is true, while an opinion is what you believe, often using phrases like “I think/believe”, “in my opinion”, “to me” and so on.
Distinguish facts from opinions
Decide whether these statements from the conversation are facts (F) or opinions (O). Discuss the opinions with a partner and see if you agree on them.
1. ____ It was a really interesting talk.

Listening and Speaking
Students always have lots of schoolwork to do,and then there are tests and exams to worry about. While its OK to worry a little, be careful not to worry too much. If you're living with high levels of stress, you're putting your health at risk. You should find time to relax, but you should also pay attention to your ways of relaxation. One day, a student complained to me that her eyes often hurt. I asked her what she did every day, and she told me she studied during the day and then watched soap operas on her smartphone in the evening. Of course, I guessed immediately what the cause of the eye pain might be.
You see, during the daytime, she was using her eyes to study from books, and during the evening, she was using her eyes to watch soap operas on her smartphone. No wonder her eyes were hurting—she chose the wrong way to relax! When she relaxed by watching soap operas, she was able to rest her brain but at the expense of her eyes.
Tapescript:
Let me give you some tips:
1.Take a short break every 45 minutes to one hour. Get up from your seat, look into the distance, and try to get some fresh air. You will feel greatly refreshed.
2. Exercise for 30 minutes or more a day. Try a new sport, ride a bike to school, or walk a lot. It will take your mind off your daily worries and it's healthy, too.
3. Take up a hobby. Give yourself 20 minutes a day to do something you really like. Sing and dance , play badminton or go bowling, paint. This will make you happier and help reduce stress.
Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. With these techniques, you should feel much more relaxed, allowing you to perform much better in your schoolwork.
