The structure of the passage
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 .
在成长过程中,青少年会变得越来越独立,并且开始自己做决定。然而,在这一时期,他们中的一部分人容易养成不良习惯。如果任其发展,在他们长大成人后,这些不良习惯可能会导致更为严重的有害习惯。例如,一些青少年可能吸烟成瘾或酗酒,造成身心健康问题。防止此类有害习惯主宰青少年的生活是至关重要的。他们必须学会早早认清不良习惯并作出适当的改变。

· 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
