Lead-in: What is a Habit? “A habit is a routine or behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously. It's like autopilot for your brain!” “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle 1.7.2013 Let's start by thinking about habits. What exactly is a habit? It's something we do regularly, often without even thinking about it—like brushing your teeth in the morning or checking your phone when it rings. As Aristotle said, our habits define us. Today, we're going to learn how to take control of our habits, especially the ones we want to change. Understanding this is the first step to creating a healthier lifestyle. ‹#› THE SCIENCE OF HABITS 01 / CUE (THE TRIGGER) A signal that tells your brain to go into automatic mode. It is the spark that initiates the habit loop. E.g., feeling bored, seeing a junk food commercial, or hearing a phone notification. 02 / ROUTINE (THE BEHAVIOR) The physical, mental, or emotional action you take in direct response to the cue. This is the actual "habit" you perform. E.g., eating a chocolate bar, mindlessly scrolling social media, or taking a smoke break. 03 / REWARD (THE BENEFIT):The positive outcome your brain craves to reinforce the loop (e.g., comfort, distraction, or pleasure). CUE THE TRIGGER ROUTINE THE BEHAVIOR / ACTION REWARD THE CRAVED BENEFIT 1.7.2013 So, how do habits work? Scientists have discovered a simple yet powerful model called the 'Habit Loop'. It has three parts: a Cue, a Routine, and a Reward. The Cue is the trigger, like feeling stressed or seeing a commercial. It's the signal that tells your brain to switch to autopilot. The Routine is the action you take in response, like eating chocolate or picking up your phone. This is the actual habit behavior. The Reward is the positive outcome your brain craves, like comfort or distraction. This reward is what reinforces the loop and makes the habit stick. By understanding this three-step loop, we can analyze our own behaviors and learn how to change bad habits into good ones. We'll use this model to look at different scenarios in our daily lives. ‹#› Lead-in: Look at the pictures on page 18. And then answer the questions. 1. What’s the person doing? 2. What’s the problem? 3. What’s the possible cause of the bad habit? 4.What advice would you suggest to her? Action: The woman is using her mobile phone in bed. She is yawning, which clearly shows she is feeling tired. Problem She isn't getting enough sleep at night. Causes: (Habit Loop) Cue:Feeling bored or needing a short break before sleep. Routine:Mindlessly scrolling social media on the phone in bed. Reward:Gaining temporary entertainment and mental distraction. Suggestion Switch off the phone one hour before bed and read a physical book instead to relax the mind. 1.7.2013 Let's apply the Habit Loop to our first example. Look at this woman. Her action is using her phone in bed when she's tired. The problem is she's not sleeping enough. Let's break down her habit loop. The cue might be feeling bored before bed. The routine is scrolling through social media. The reward is the temporary entertainment it provides. To change this, a good suggestion would be to replace the routine: switch off the phone and read a book. This addresses the same cue (boredom) with a healthier routine that leads to a better reward: a good night's sleep. ‹#› Action: The man is playing on his phone for a long time while looking after his baby at home. Problem He is addicted to using his phone excessively. Causes (Habit Loop) Cue:Having a free moment while the baby is resting. Routine:Mindlessly picking up the phone to play games or use social media. Reward:Feeling of temporary relaxation or connection. Suggestion Put the phone in another room to avoid temptation. Use the free time to read a book, do light exercise, or simply rest with the baby. 1.7.2013 Now let's look at this man. He's using his phone excessively while taking care of his baby. The problem is clear: too much phone use. Let's analyze his habit loop. The cue could be a quiet moment when the baby is asleep. The routine is picking up the phone. The reward is a sense of relaxation. A helpful suggestion would be to change the routine. Instead of picking up the phone, he could place it out of sight and use that time for a more constructive activity, like reading. This way, he still gets the reward of relaxation but in a healthier way. ‹#› Action: The girl is eating many cupcakes and desserts. Problem: The girl is overeating. Causes: (Habit Loop) Cue:Feeling stressed, bored, or depressed. Routine:Eating large amounts of sugary or high-fat food. Reward:Temporary comfort and pleasure from the taste. Suggestion: The girl can try meditation, yoga, or journaling to deal with bad emotions instead of eating. 1.7.2013 Here's another common issue: overeating. This girl is clearly consuming a lot of unhealthy food. The problem is overeating. Let's use the Habit Loop. The cue might be a negative emotion like stress or boredom. The routine is eating sugary snacks. The reward is the temporary comfort it brings. To break this cycle, the suggestion is to find a different routine to deal with the emotion. Instead of eating, she could try meditation or yoga. This addresses the root cause (the emotion) with a healthier routine. ‹#› ACTION This person bought a lot of things while shopping, carrying many shopping bags with her. PROBLEM The person is suffering from overspending. CAUSES (Habit Loop) Cue:Seeing a sale, feeling sad, or wanting to fit in. Routine:Buying items that are wanted, not needed. Reward:A temporary thrill or feeling of happiness. SUGGESTION She should make a detailed shopping list before going out and strictly follow it, buying only what is on the list. 1.7.2013 Let's tackle overspending. This person has clearly bought more than she needs. The problem is overspending. The habit loop here might start with a cue like seeing a sale or feeling down. The routine is buying unnecessary items. The reward is the temporary excitement of shopping. A practical suggestion is to change the routine by planning ahead. Making a shopping list and sticking to it can help her avoid impulsive purchases and still feel in control, which is a more sustainable reward. ‹#› Action: The man is sitting at a table with many cups of coffee, looking tired. Problem The man is drinking too much coffee. Causes: (Habit Loop) Cue:Feeling tired in the morning or afternoon. Routine:Drinking coffee to stay awake. Reward:Increased alertness and energy. Suggestion: Go to bed earlier to get enough sleep and limit coffee to one cup a day. 1.7.2013 Finally, let's look at excessive coffee drinking. This man is clearly relying on coffee to get through the day. The problem is drinking too much coffee. The habit loop is triggered by feeling tired (cue), leading to the routine of drinking coffee, which provides the reward of energy. The key here is to address the root cause of the tiredness. A better suggestion is to improve his sleep routine so he doesn't need the coffee in the first place. This changes the entire loop by removing the initial cue of tiredness. ‹#› Pre-listening: You are going to listen to a conversation. The main speaker is a doctor who just gave a talk to a class and now he is going to answer some questions from the students. While-listening:Complete the chart Listen to the conversation and complete the chart below. Category Student 1 Student 2 Problem Has trouble sleeping because he picks up the phone before going to bed. Feels depressed about being a little overweight and not exercising. Cue Going to bed (Nighttime) Finishing dinner (Evening) Routine Doesn't keep the phone in the bedroom at night. (Follow the doctor's advice) Turn off the phone and walk outside for five minutes. (Follow the doctor's advice) Reward Sleep better, and fall asleep much easier. - / - 1.7.2013 Let's check your listening comprehension. As you can see, Student 1 has trouble sleeping because of his phone use. The doctor's advice is to change the routine by not keeping the phone in the bedroom. Student 2 feels overweight and never exercises. The doctor suggests a new routine: after dinner, turn off the phone and take a short walk. Notice how the doctor is directly applying the Habit Loop model by changing the routine to achieve a better outcome. ‹#› While-listening: Listen again and answer these questions. Why is a good night’s sleep important for the first student? Why does the second student never exercise? because a bad night’s sleep will affect his schoolwork. The second student never exercise because he just always picks up his phone after dinner. (点击播放音频) What is the expert’s bad habit? Do you think it is a health problem? The expert’s bad habit is drinking too much coffee. It can be a health problem because too much can cause some health problems, such as heart problem. Homework Your Challenge This week, identifyONEsmall habit you want to improve. Use the'Habit Loop'(Cue - Routine - Reward) model to design a concrete plan for changing it. "Start small, think big!" Be ready to share • What was the specific habit you chose? • What did your Habit Loop plan look like? • How did it go? Successes, challenges, or surprises? "Share your story with the class!" 1.7.2013 For your homework this week, I have a challenge for you. I want you to identify one small habit you'd like to change. It could be anything, like drinking more water or checking your phone less. Use the Habit Loop model to design a simple plan. Next class, be prepared to share your experience with the class. This is a great way to put our lesson into practice and start creating positive change in your own life. ‹#› While-listening: What would you advise the expert to do to control this habit? I would suggest that the expert not drink coffee on an empty stomach, as it may irritate his stomach and cause discomfort, and then try to reduce added sugar and creamer; pure coffee is healthier and better for tasting the original flavor. Finally avoid drinking coffee too late in the day, otherwise it may affect your sleep quality. While-listening: 听力原文(Part 1) Teacher: Thank you so much for speaking to the class, Doctor. It was a really interesting talk. Doctor: That’s very kind of you. Teacher: Could you answer some questions about habits and lifestyle from the students? Doctor: Sure, I’d love to. Student 1: Hello, I have trouble sleeping. It often takes me a long time to fall asleep at night. It’s affecting my schoolwork because I’m always tired in the daytime. Doctor: I see. What do you do just before your go to sleep? Student 1: I usually pick up my phone. While-listening: Doctor: Oh, I think the phone could be the problem. It makes your brain more active, which makes it hard to sleep. Your cue is going to bed. The routine is picking up your phone. To change the cycle, don’t keep your phone in your bedroom at night. You’ll find you sleep better, and much easier too! Student 1: Thank you, Doctor. I’ll give it a try. 听力原文(Part 2) Doctor: You’re welcome. Any other problems I can help with? Student 2: Hi, I feel depressed about being a little overweight. I want to exercise every night after dinner, but I always just pick up my phone. What can I do? While-listening: Doctor: To create a good habit is the same as creating a bad one, but you must take small steps to begin with. So, your cue can still be finishing dinner, but make the routine to turn off your phone and walk outside — for just five minutes. A five-minute walk is so easy. It’s hard to say no! When this has become a habit, walk for longer. Don’t worry about losing weight at first. Focus on the habit of going out and build from there. 听力原文(Part 3) While-listening: Student 2: Thanks for the advice, Doctor. I’ll try it tonight. Teacher: Well thank you again for your talk today, Doctor. Now, would you like a cup of coffee? Doctor: That’s very nice of you, but I drink too much coffee. I still have some bad habits, too! 听力原文(Part 4) Part 1: opening up the conversation Part 2: asking for and giving advice on changing bad habits Part 3: closing up the conversation Teacher & Doctor Doctor & Student 2 Teacher & Doctor Doctor & Student 1 Post-listening:Distinguish Facts from Opinions It is important to know whether what the speakers say is a fact or an opinion. An Opinion A subjective statement based on personal beliefs or feelings. Keywords & Phrases: "I think/believe...", "In my opinion...", "To me...", "I feel that..." A Fact An objective statement that can be proven true or false. Characteristics: Based on evidence, data, or reality. It is universally verifiable. 1.7.2013 Now that we've listened to the conversation, let's work on an important skill: distinguishing between facts and opinions. A fact is something that is true and can be proven, like "The sky is blue." An opinion is a personal belief or feeling, like "I think the sky looks beautiful today." This is a crucial skill for critical thinking, especially when listening to advice or information. ‹#› Decide whether these statements from the conversation are facts (F) or opinions (O). 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. 8 A five-minute walk is so easy that it is hard to say no!
