(give your idea) Because of the hot and humid weather in Hong Kong, it is very difficult NOT to take a shower every day. (reason) It is not difficult to understand why people would use harsh, dry soaps because it allows them to feel refreshed and clean afterward.

Do you eat breakfast every day? wky50 https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2733432297 Yes, definitely. I eat breakfast every single day. It's just too important to me as it gives me a boost of energy level in the early morning. No matter how busy I am, I would wake up a little bit earlier and make sure I can have breakfast before I start working. Thanks to my parents and helper, I usually have sandwich, cereal, or sometimes noodles in the morning. Together with a cup of coffee, it will kick off a good start of my day. Actually, I found that having regular breakfast improves my ability to concentrate and somehow I can be more productive. According to a research, not having breakfast affects your mental performance, including your attention, memory and concentration. People who have breakfast regularly tend to performance better academically compared with those who skip breakfast. Therefore, if you tend to skip breakfast, try to wake up 15 minutes earlier and enjoy your morning blessing tomorrow. ]]> 2023-10-05 07:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2733432297 I think it is so common for us to "sleeping too little". Because of the long working hours of Hong Kong people until the night that finally have a bit of spare time. Moreover, there are many seductive things such as different multi devices and social media just for fun, whatsoever. Therefore, as we live in Hong Kong, such a pressure cooker that always feels stressful, then it quite makes sense to sleep less to have fun and feel relaxed. https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2742779270 Victoria]]> 2023-10-12 02:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2742779270 Jan https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2742802970 I think these common mistakes are very common for Hong Kong people,like sleeping too little.People in Hong Kong are always too intense at work they always want to finished their work before they sleep.However,when you work at evening in a very tried state you can't even focus on your work you will make many mistakes on your work,then cause sleeping too little.According to survey,it shows that HK people on average daily sleeping just 6.5 hours,most of the adults around 25-40 years old they even can't  sleep average 4 hours a day.Sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.Moreover sleeping too little also affects your working efficiency, so get a good quality of sleep is a prepare for you to finished your work in a high efficiency and quality. ]]> 2023-10-12 02:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2742802970 https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2742838760 I think most of them are the common health mistakes in Hong Kong. Some example are “sleeping too little” and “skipping breakfast”, many Hong Kong people have a busy life, they always only focus on in their academics or careers, thus time is a valuable resource for them. To actively using their daily time, this caused them to sleep too little as well as skip breakfast. Furthermore, “over-exercising” is also one of the common mistakes in Hong Kong. Since the limited time, Hong Kong people may choose to exercise within one day to finish one week’s workout, which is bad for their physical wellbeing and this leads to over-exercising. —Aki ]]> 2023-10-12 02:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2742838760 7. Should we trust health information found on the internet? By Victoria https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2743111372 It is a nice question that we can trust health information found on the internet, yet we should not blindly trust all of them. We have to think about it or undergo some research for that. Nowadays, we can post some information online to share the news easily. However, there are some silly or notorious guys to post some wrong messages and misleading us. The image of the information may not work or even hurt yourself. So, please do not trust the health information online easily.]]> 2023-10-12 06:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2743111372 https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2743154924
I suggest “showering everyday”, “carrying a heavy bag” and “skipping breakfast” could be the top three mistakes to choose for the workshop. 
“Showering everyday” 
People often take showers with the water temperature they feel comfortable with or get used to. Most of them will not know a hot shower can be bad for our skin if they have never been told by someone.
“Carrying a heavy bag” 
Most of the people who do this are children, and they lack awareness about health thus children can enhance their awareness through the workshop.
“Skipping breakfast”
Skipping breakfast is a common mistake made by people in society, and most of them don’t think this will affect their health, so this can become one of the topics of the workshop to push people’s attention to having breakfast. —Aki

As having a real experience can make people more impressed and enhance their awareness of their own mistakes, as well as help them start focusing on their lives and changing their life habits. —Aki]]> 2023-10-12 07:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2743162759 8. Do attitudes towards health habits change over time? https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2743192068 I do think attitudes towards health habits change over time. Due to time, the development of technology has increased, which means people’s knowledge and life levels have also improved. For example, people in the past lacked awareness of health as their study opportunities were rare, thus they didn’t have enough information to define the meaning of healthy and to build up healthy habits. People nowadays are more informed than in the past since they can learn and search for everything online, which enhances their awareness of how important it is to have healthy habits and makes them more serious about their health. —Aki]]> 2023-10-12 07:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2743192068 By Jaco https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2744558100 2023-10-13 02:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2744558100 https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2744605050   My point of view of common healthy mistakes among Hong Kong people is “carrying heavy bag”. Well this is a pestilence and that must be stamped out, I’ve seen many of the primary candidates always carrying a school bag which the size is doubled to their body. May be this common phenomenon but this is not a healthy stuff, because if the students carry the heavy school bags day by day, it will hurt their spinal cord and affect their growth especially their on the period of growing.

  More and more, carrying heavy bag for a long time will affect body posture and that’s really ugly if your cervical spine tilted forward. And the problem is it will lower your height specially you’re a boy, I pretty sure that boys really cares about their height so don’t think there’s no side effect of carrying heavy bag everyday!

What can school do to solve the problem of heavy schoolbags? https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2745261117 According to my research, students should not carry a school bag weighing more than 10% of the student's body weight for a long time. Schools can help students understand that overweight schoolbags will affect their health and growth, such as back pains, neck problems or poor posture etc and tell them that they have the responsibility and ability to reduce the weight of their schoolbags. Schools can regularly inspect students’ schoolbags, check if they have brought any unnecessary books. Schools should cultivate students' habit of packing their schoolbags every day, and ensure that students only bring necessary textbooks, exercises and stationery back to school, so as to train students' self-care ability. At the same time, schools also can encourage students to use lightweight yet durable school bags or stationery and show students the correct posture for carrying school bags, so that it can prevent students have any pain.

a lot of Hong Kong people still insist on the sports they like, it may also depend on the courts where is around us in every public place. On the other hand, because the now society is chasing a perfect body shape which means having thin legs, and slim arms for girls being muscular, and so on for boys. The trend leads us to a "mistake" of health, more and more people are thinking that having a good body shape means healthy, and healthy is variety. The misconception of health which only focus on the physical part of our life is the main reason for over-exercising because they just wanna have a good body shape and not depend on their original interest.It is not difficult to understand why people would over-exercise, expect of the school teams training or some necessary exercising there are still plenty advertisements of the sports courses, weight loss classes that we can participate in.Therefore,it is not surprising it is common for people over-exercising.

Do attitudes towards health habits change over time? s201911179 https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2745853373 No, most of the time because most people will just focus on the results merely. As a student, we have no time to take tremendous care of our habits because we are just finding a good result. For example, no matter how long the school life is the major talent is getting into a university. Therefore, students will find an effective way to study or do revision before the exam. The example I gave is similar to society such as the people nowadays wanna lose weight, or have plastic surgery even cure their sickness, the process is necessary but it doesn't mean that the attitudes towards health habits change over time. The main reason is we have already decided on our target, the attitude in our process depends on our way. If we insist, our attitude towards health habits won't change over time. So if we have a clear target of something, actually we won't affected by the time how long we take to continue our habits.]]> 2023-10-14 04:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2745853373 https://padlet.com/enlgishdepartment/gqeig0o8ocky0oa8/wish/2746664349 I think these health"mistakes" are really common in Hong Kong especially students and the adults who are working are both having the sleeping to little health mistake .Because nowadays ,our pace of life is really fast and everyone is really hardworking for their life,which makes the environment affect people to competitive with others.Because of the competitive environment makes people have less time to sleep.
