O 1 Lifestyles 9 Reading Before Reading Look at the graphs below. What do you think the article will say about college students? رابط الدرس الر www.ien.edu.sa Do College Students Have a Healthy Lifestyle? 1 The majority of college students seem to be quite healthy. They don't suffer from health issues that older people have because they are still young. However, that doesn't mean 5 they shouldn't try to improve their lifestyle. We carried out research at a local college to find the truth about students' lifestyle: their eating, sleeping, and exercise habits. Our findings below show that the Average 10 Student Diet differs greatly from that of a Healthy Diet. A healthy diet contains plenty of fresh produce, and moderate amounts of protein and grains. Yet, the diet of most students consists mainly of rice and noodles. 15 It also contains a lot of fried food, which suggests that they eat too much fast food and need to add more fresh fruit and vegetables to their diet. Average Student Diet Healthy Diet Vegetables Fried Food Fruit Rice/Noodles Vegetables Protein Fruit Grains Getting the required amount of sleep is another important factor in students' health. Studies 20 have shown that it has a positive effect on memory and concentration. We recorded the sleeping habits of three college students for one semester. The Sleep and Test Scores results in the graph below support this theory: when the students got enough sleep, their exam scores were much higher. On average, however, most of them only get about six hours of sleep every night. 25 Finally, we interviewed students to find out how much they exercise. The Student Exercise graph below shows that the majority work out for at least 30 minutes a day. This is positive, because students who get enough exercise are usually happier, more energetic, and find it easier to pay attention. Unfortunately, many college students are so busy focusing on their studies that they don't 30 take time to look after themselves. All it takes is some good time management. Healthy habits can help them succeed in their classes, so they should try to get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. وزارة التعليم Ministry Education 2024-1446 SG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 8 Sleep and Test Scores for 3 Students Student Exercise 100 50 90 40 80 30 70 60 20 50 10 40 Student 1 Less than 4 5 to 6 hours 7 to 8 hours More than 8 Student 2-Student 3 0 Less than 30 30 minutes 160 minutes More than 60 30/4/24 12:29 AM
