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 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 much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
Topic sentence
B The cycle of how habits are formed
Tips:Look for topic sentence
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.

A How to change a bad habit and create good ones
Tips:Look for topic sentence & standout sentence.
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 .

改变坏习惯从来都不容易,即使尝试了很多次。基于亚里士多德的哲学,有一句名言:"我们反复做的事,决定了我们是怎样的人。"在很多方面,我们的生活方式是我们所做选择的总和。我们选择做某事,然后一遍又一遍地重复它。很快,这个选择变得自动化,形成了一个更难改变的习惯。好消息是,如果我们理解习惯是如何运作的,我们就能改变。

根据现代心理学,我们必须首先了解"习惯循环",它是这样运作的:首先,有一个"提示",一个作为做某事信号的行为、事件或情境。其次,有一个"常规行为",即你对提示做出的常规反应。第三,有"奖励",即我们从常规行为中获得的美好事物或感觉。例如,当我们感到不开心时(提示),我们吃很多不健康的零食(常规行为),这让我们感到开心(奖励)。奖励使我们更有可能继续这个循环,依赖不健康零食的坏习惯就形成了。

Paragraph 5
为了促进坏习惯的积极改变,我们必须首先检查我们的坏习惯循环,然后尝试调整它们。我们可以通过将习惯循环的信息与我们自己的积极想法结合起来做到这一点。例如,我们可以尝试用更积极的事物来替代消极的常规行为。所以,当我们再次感到不开心时(提示),而不是吃零食,我们可以听一些自己喜欢的音乐(常规行为),这会让我们感到放松(奖励)。除了改变坏习惯,我们还可以利用习惯循环来创造好习惯。例如,当我们来到自动扶梯前(提示),我们的常规行为是乘坐它,但我们可以把这一常规行为改成更积极的做法,比如改走楼梯。
