The woman is using her mobile phone in bed. She is yawning too, which shows she’s tired.
She isn’t getting enough sleep.
The main cause of her problem is that she allows herself to use
her mobile phone in bed. Choosing to stay up too late playing computer games can mean that one does not sleep enough, too.

This person bought a lot of things at one time when she went shopping. Because she carried a lot of shopping bags on her hand.
The person is overspending.
Choosing to buy many things one wants and not things one needs can lead to overspending.
The girl should analyze areas in which her typically overspend, and think about why she made those purchases.

The man is sitting at a table with many cups of coffee on it, and he is going to finish these cups of coffee.

Why is a good night’s sleep important for the first student
Why does the second student never exercise
A good night’s sleep is important because it will help with their schoolwork.
Because he always picks up his phone instead of exercising.
Check the answers:
What is the expert’s bad habit Do you think it is a health problem
What would you advise the expert to do to control this habit
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.
I would suggest that the expert change the habit slowly by drinking smaller cups of weaker 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.

Distinguish facts from opinions
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 .
