2. What are the dangers of this bad habit
3. What behaviors can lead to this bad habit
Not sleeping enough.
Lack of sleeping can result in hormonal imbalance (荷尔蒙失衡), illness, and, in extreme cases, death. When we lose sleep, learning, memory, mood, and reaction time are affected. It’s even been linked to diabetes (糖尿病) and obesity (肥胖)
Many behaviors can lead to the bad habit, such as playing mobile phone or computer games before going to bed or drinking too much coffee, etc.

1. Choosing to stay up too late playing computer games can mean that one does not sleep enough.
2. Preferring to play games or use social media on phones can make it easier for people to use them too much.
3. Choosing to eat when one feels bored or depressed can lead to overeating.
4. Choosing to buy many things one wants and not things one needs can lead to overspending.
5. Staying up too late and not sleeping enough can lead one to drink too much coffee the next day.

Listen again and answer these questions.
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.
Lead-in
Watch a video and discuss the following questions
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 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.
Post-listening
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.
Post-listening
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.
2. ____ It often takes me half an hour to fall asleep at night.
3. ____ You look tired. Not enough sleep, right
4. ____ It is affecting my schoolwork.
5. ____ I failed in all my school subjects this semester.
6. ____ I usually pick up my phone.
7. ____ I think the phone is the problem.
