"I wish I had straight hair; "I'd like t be taller". At times, we all want t lk a bit mre like smene else. Hwever, the pictures we see n TV and scial media can give us wrng ideas abut hw ur bdies "shuld" lk. The truth is that everybdy is different - and that's a gd thing.

Try nt t pay t much attentin t appearance. Instead, think abut what yur bdy des fr yu; d yur legs make yu run really fast?" She als suggests treating yur bdy well by eating different kinds f fds, exercising t feel gd and t have fun, and getting plenty f sleep. Remember that yu are mre than hw yu lk.

Accrding t a survey we did, mst students in ur schl spend abut six hurs a day n screens. Many f my students start their day by checking their smartphnes. I ften see them lking at their phnes when getting ff the bus r at parents' drp-ff, they can't use their wn "screens" at schl. They usually wrk n cmputers at schl fr at least tw hurs during the day.
It's clear that ur students spend a lt f time n screens. We d see the benefits f technlgy. But we teachers als want t make sure that students have balanced learning and scial experiences away frm their screens. That's why we have cme up with the idea f screen-free days.
During the curse f the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us t make different plans fr ur students abut hw they will cmmunicate with ne anther and the wrld arund them withut "screens". Fr sme teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lessn plan that has been put ff fr sme time because it is "ut f date". Others have designed smething cmpletely new.
Fun activities, fr example, card games and rm escape(密室逃脱) games, are rganized at schl. In these activities, students scialize withut smartphnes and have face-t-face cmmunicatin withut checking n "likes" they've gt nline. These fun activities als make it pssible fr the whle grade t enjy the cmpany (陪伴) f their friends with n smartphnes.
After ur first screen-free day, students said that they were surprised they enjyed it. Finding ways t help ur students cnnect with ne anther is imprtant.
While technlgy is already part f ur wrld, it shuldn't play such an imprtant rle in a learner's life.
Hw many hurs d mst students in the schl spend n screens every day?
