"Atomic Habits” is a book written by James Clear, an American. It is based on personal experience about
changing habits.
2) Let’s read part of an interview with James Clear about his book, “Atomic Habits”.
Interviewer: Why did you decide to write about habits?
James Clear: Habits are among the most important topics to understand in life for different reasons. First, habits
can provide external results. They can help you lose weight, increase your income, be more productive, reduce
stress, and so on.
You get what you repeat. Habits also shape our identity and beliefs. Another reason I decided to write about
habits is because I felt there were many books that discuss how habits work from a scientific or philosophical
level, but there was not yet a book that provided readers with a step-by-step, practical manual for how to
actually change a habit. My hope is that "Atomic Habits" can be that manual.
Interviewer: What exactly is an atomic habit?
James Clear: I chose the phrase “atomic habits” for three reasons.
The first one you might expect. The word “atomic” can mean tiny or small, like an atom. One of the central
features of my philosophy is that habits should be small and easy to do.
The second reason is that the word atomic can also mean “the fundamental unit in a larger system.” Atoms form
molecules, molecules form compounds, etc. In a sense, habits are like the atoms of our lives. They are small
routines—fundamental units—that combine into the overall system of our life.
And finally, atomic can mean “the source of immense energy or power.

3) I will look up the words in bold in a dictionary and find their Arabic translations.
4)I will answer the following comprehension questions:
a) According to the author, what kind of book is “Atomic Habits”?
b) According to the author, how are habits similar to atoms? Draw a diagram of how they are similar with
labels.
5) I will prepare an oral presentation with a poster about good and bad habits that I have. I will also include in
my oral presentation a plan on how I can change my bad habits using tiny steps.
6) I will listen to my classmates present their oral presentations and ask 1-2 questions about the presentation]]> 2022-11-13 09:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hussamshireen6/1gz49orvligqrvye/wish/2381417618
