Read for the structure
As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions. However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. For example some of them may become involved in tobacco or alcohol abuse, which can lead to physical and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating a teenager's life is essential. They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes.
Q1: Why should bad teenage habits be changed
Q 2: How does the author develop the paragraph
By giving examples.

Para 1
Raise the problem
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts. There is a famous saying based on the philosophy of Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.
Q1: How can a choice lead to a habit
Q2: How does the author develop the paragraph
Para 2
By directly quoting.
Analyze the problem
According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this:
Firstly, there is “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in response to the cue.
Thirdly, there is a “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
Q1: What is the three stages of habit cycle and what are they refer to
Q 2: How does the author develop the paragraph
Para 3
By giving definitions and examples.
To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed (reward). Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an escalator(cue), our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
Q1: What can we do to change bad habits with “habit cycle”
Q2: How does the author develop the paragraph
Para 4
Solve the problem
By giving examples.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly and if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. "One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits .
Q1: Do you think we can change the bad habits immediately
Q2: What else are needed if we want to change a bad habit
A.time B.discipline C.repeated small steps D.all of above
Q3: How does the author develop the paragraph
Para 5
By directly quoting.
Q1.What do “magic pill” and “delete button” refer to
Q2.What’s the author’s attitude towards changing bad habits
A.Negative. B.Sad. C.Doubtful. D.Positive.
Para 6
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there is no “magic pill” or delete button that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!
