As a country develops, its people usually enjoy better health care, drink cleaner water, and have more food. Both men and women can expect (望) to live longer. However, people’s lifestyle (生活方式) is changing at the same time. They have busier lives. They eat more processed (加工过的) food or fast food, which has more fat, salt and sugar. They do not walk so much, and some do not do any exercise at all. As a result, the number of people with certain diseases is increasing.
Diabetes (糖尿病) is a disease that has become more common. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. That was 4.7% of the population in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. And the number is still rising.
In the past, diabetes was more common in rich countries. However, in recent years, the number has been rising more rapidly in low-and-middle-income (中入) countries than in high-income countries. Take China for example. In 1980, less than 1% of the population in China had diabetes. Now more than one in ten Chinese over 18 have the disease. Making China the country with the highest number of diabetes patients in the world.
It is possible to control diabetes with medicine, but there is no cure (治愈方法). There are things, however, that people, especially young people, can do to avoid (避免) it. If they are overweight, they should try to lose weight. They should also avoid foods high in fat and sugar. People should exercise often. Besides, they should walk or ride bikes more instead of traveling by car. If people change to this healthier lifestyle, we may be able to stop the rise in diabetes in the future.

As a country develops, its people usually enjoy better health care, drink cleaner water, and have more food. Both men and women can expect (望) to live longer. However, people’s lifestyle (生活方式) is changing at the same time. They have busier lives. They eat more processed (加工过的) food or fast food, which has more fat, salt and sugar. They do not walk so much, and some do not do any exercise at all. As a result, the number of people with certain diseases is increasing.
Diabetes (糖尿病) is a disease that has become more common. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. That was 4.7% of the population in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. And the number is still rising.
In the past, diabetes was more common in rich countries. However, in recent years, the number has been rising more rapidly in low-and-middle-income (中入) countries than in high-income countries. Take China for example. In 1980, less than 1% of the population in China had diabetes. Now more than one in ten Chinese over 18 have the disease. Making China the country with the highest number of diabetes patients in the world.
It is possible to control diabetes with medicine, but there is no cure (治愈方法). There are things, however, that people, especially young people, can do to avoid (避免) it.

Doing English homework helps us to practice and use what we’ve learned in class. Compared with common tasks like copying and translating, most students like creative English homework better. Doing creative homework makes us more interested in English.
The most creative English homework that I have done is to learn an English song. We were asked to perform it on New Year’s party. To finish this job, I have to learn an English song by myself. Of course, I did very well in the party. Since then, I have been more confident in English learning.
In my opinion, it’s also a good choice to draw mind maps. It helps us to have a better understanding of the lessons. Besides, we can make a vlog in English, since most of us have a smart phone. In this way, we can spend less time playing games.
