press - rewiev "Smartphones, Tablets Sabotaging Teens' Sleep"

Hey everyone!

I have just been reading an article at home the other day. The article "Smartphones, Tablets Sabotaging Teens' Sleep" was published in HealthDay News on October 20th, 2017. The article talks about the reason why teens sleep less than they used to. I thought you might be interested in this article because, it can also affect you. Let me give you some information about this article.
 
Basically what the article says is that a recent study, which was published on October, 16th in the journal Sleep Medicine, found out that the more time teens spent online, the less sleep they got. In the article the author tells us, why it is like that.
 
The author mentions that the light form electronic devices can disrupt the body’s sleep-wake cycle. Smartphones, tablet and laptops are often an essential part of our life, but anyway everybody, young and old alike, should pay attention to limit the use of electronic devices to two hours per day. People who are online for more than 5 hours per day, could get about 50 percent less sleep than people who limit their daily online time to one hour.
 
It is also said that it is important that teens need about 9 hours sleep a night to be engaged and productive during the day. It can cause daytime sleepiness, when teenagers sleep less than 9 hours a night. But enough sleep isn’t only important for teenagers, it is also important for adults. Sleep is important for our physical and mental health, so make sure not to use screen devices right before you go to bed.
 
What shocked me was that in 2015 teens slept about nearly 50 percent less than in 1991. The reason that teens’ sleep began to shorten is that the majority started using smartphones.
 
In my mind we should learn from that article to be more careful with electronic devices, because it can affect our health.

I have just been hearing a presentation by a young lady. Her name is Kira Grünberg, she is a well-known for her sport carrier in pole vaulting. I thought you might be interested, because it is impressive how she talks about herself and her life and how she manages her life in her current Situation.
 
She told us about her story, when suddenly everything in her life changed, because of her terrible accident and how it affected on her life. Basically what she says is to stay positive and do not give up to quickly.
 
It impressed me that she always stayed positive after the accident and that her family and friends always help her. She also told us about her boyfriend and that they didn’t give up their love, even after the accident.
 
In my mind we should learn from her, to stay more postiv and don't give up to quickly, because you can do everything when you belive on you.

press review - "fat-free an happy"

Hey everyone!

I have just been reading an article at school the other day. The article "FAT - FREE and HAPPY" was published in Time Magazine on May 22nd, 2015. The article talks about culture and cliché. I thought you might be interested in this article because, I think it is an important issue in today’s young generation. Let me give you some information about this article.

Basically what the article says is that a French journalist made a trip in the USA some time age, because she. She found that the Europeans have a few clichés against the Americans, but also the Americans against the Europeans. In the Article she tells us what she has found and whether all the clichés are true or false.

The most of you know New England and when you hear New England, most of you think of people who still wear striped tennis sweaters and they sit on the porches of wooden houses and of an unspoilt countryside. But when you see Boston in real life it might be different as you have though. This is one of the cliché that occur in the text.

The author also mentions that many European think that they are better than American’s and they think too that the American’s have no culture, but these are also just clichés. And that brings me to the next topic of the article.

It is also said that everything is bigger in the states and that people there are sometimes really crazy, for example they wear weird helmets when they are riding their bicycles and the businesswomen wear sneakers with elegant dresses. But America has also some exciting and interesting sides, they have famous universities and interesting museums.

What me surprised was that the American’s make sure that they eat fat-free, but they order very big meals. The American’s have the same level of education as us Europeans, because America also has famous and popular universities, for example the world's most famous university, Havard.

In my mind we should learn from that text to be more careful with clichés.

I hope you enjoyed my blog posting and you are going to read my next.

 See you soon,
