Revision: what is the “habit cycle”
How can we change a bad habit
Pre-listening: brainstorming
1. What bad habits do people in modern times develop
2. What choices or preferences make it easier for people to develop these bad habits
3. What advice will you give to change these bad habits
inadequate exercise (seldom walk, little labour work … )
drinking too many sugary drinks such as milk tea
checking social media too often
…
Pre-listening: prediction
Read the two listening activities and predict what we are going to listen to.
How many speakers are there in the conversation Who are they
What will they talk about
What specific aspects will they focus on
While-listening: listen for dialogue type
1. When and where does this conversation take place
2. How many speakers are there Who are they
3. What was the lecture probably about
It takes place right after a lecture.
There are four. They are the teacher, the doctor who gave the previous lecture and two students who listened to it.
It was probably about how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
The two students are asking the expert for advice on how to change their bad habits and the expert is trying to analyze their problems and give advice.

4. What are the speakers talking about
While-listening: listen and complete the chart
Has trouble sleeping because of using the phone before going to sleep
Going to bed
Don’t keep the phone in the room so you won’t pick it up before bed
Feels depressed about being a little overweight
Finishing dinner
Walk outside for just 5 minutes
While-listening: answer these questions
1. Why is a good night’s sleep important for the first student
Because it will help with her 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
He drinks too much coffee. It can be a health problem because too much coffee 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 he change the habit slowly by drinking smaller cups of weaker coffee, and then try to change coffee for another drink such as tea and then water. Later he should do more exercise as this can stimulate the body like coffee does but has more positive benefits.
