2.What habits do you think are unhealthy
3.What can you do to correct these bad habits
No. Bad habits are hard to change because we are usually doing something we really like，but we are doing it too much.
Unhealthy habits include smoking，eating too much，playing too much on your computer or phone，and not doing enough exercise.
I think people can correct these bad habits by thinking about them more and deciding they will feel better and happier if they stop them.

Habits for a Healthy Lifestyle
Para 1
As随着 teenagers grow up, they become more independent独立的 and start making their own decisions做决定. However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits养成坏习惯. These bad habits, if [they are]left unchecked状语从句的省略, could lead to导致=result in, contribute to more serious ones when they become adults.
For example, some of them may become/be involved in参与... tobacco or alcohol abuse酗酒/吸烟成瘾, which can lead to physical and mental health身心健康 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做出适当改变.
prevent/stop ...（from） doing sth.
阻止……做某事（from 可省略）
Para 2
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts尝试. There is a famous saying [be based on以...为基础] the philosophy of Aristotle: "We are what we repeatedly do." In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of...的总和 choices we have made. We make a choice to do something不定式做定语, and then we repeat it over and over again一再地. Soon that choice becomes automatic自动的；无意识的 and forms a habit that is much harder to change定语从句. The good news is that we can change表语从句, if we understand how habits work.
不定式做主语
attempt to do sth =make an attempt to do sth 试图做某事
Para 3
According to根据 modem psychology心理学, we must first learn about the "habit cycle习惯循环", which works like this:
· Firstly, there is a "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回答/应 the cue.
· Thirdly, there is the "reward", the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
THE
HABIT CYCLE
act as 担任...;充当
Para 4
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely宾补 to continue the cycle目的状语, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
make +宾语+宾补
Para 5
To facilitate促进 a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt改造 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消极的 routine with something more positive积极的.
combine ... with ... 把...与...结合起来
replace ... with ...用...代替...
So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than而不是 eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead相反 (routine), which will make us feel relaxed (reward). Aside from除...以外 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 an escalator乘电梯 it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking: take the stairs走楼梯 instead.
Para 6
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away立刻, we often become pessimistic悲观的 and give up放弃. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. As正如 the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.千里之行，始于足下。" One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change目的状语, a person must show some discipline自制力 and repeatedly take many small steps. After all毕竟, it is not easy to break bad habits戒除坏习惯.
Para 7
For young people, there is plenty of+可数/不可数名词 time to change bad habits. However, there is no "magic pill魔力丸/灵丹妙药" or delete button删除键 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 be full of充满... good habits!不定式做定语

Paragraph 1
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.

Paragraph 2
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.

Paragraph 3-4
According to modem psychology, we must first learn about the "habit cycle", which works like this:
· Firstly, there is a "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 the "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 much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.

Paragraph 5
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.
