Teenagers and Fitness Apps
Leo
My best friend told me about this great fitness app last month, so I put it on my phone. Now, I always try to do more steps than my mum and dad. I usually win! I look at my phone all the time to see my numbers. To get more steps, I don't take the bus in the mornings anymore. I walk to school instead. It takes longer, but I feel great. Sometimes, my app tells me to walk faster, but I don't listen to it!
Sam
I have had my fitness app for a year. I used to walk ten thousand steps every day. But this year, I have a lot of exams. I spend most of my time at my desk, so my step numbers are much lower now. I want to walk to school, but I live too far away. Now, I use my app to help me study. When I look at my books for too long, the app makes a noise. Then, I stop reading and go for a short walk.
Toby
My app says I need to walk ten thousand steps a day. I think that is a really big number and it is too hard to do! I only get that many steps when I take my dog to the park at the weekend. During the week, I am too busy with homework. I never look at my app during the day. I only open it after dinner before I go to bed. I usually have about four thousand steps. I want to try and do more soon.

A guide for teens on how to use a smartwatch to check their sleep quality
SleepFit Watch
Do you want to know how many hours you sleep? The SleepFit Watch is great for you. You wear it in bed, and it notices if you move your arms and legs or wake up in the night. It even gives you a message to tell you when it is time to go to sleep! You do not need to look at your phone because the information is on the watch screen. In the morning, it makes a loud noise so you are never late for school!
NightStar Band
To feel fresh in the morning, you need deep sleep. The NightStar Band checks your heart all night to see if you are sleeping well. When you wake up, you can look at the special app on your phone. It shows you beautiful pictures and colourful charts of your night. This helps you understand your sleep better. You should try to go to bed early to get the best results. It is the perfect watch for students who want to have more energy.
DreamTech Pro
Sometimes it is difficult to fall asleep. The DreamTech Pro can help! This clever watch checks your bedroom to see if it is too hot or too noisy. If you cannot sleep, it plays nice music and quiet sounds of nature to help you relax. It helps you beat your sleeping problems. In the morning, it does not ring like a normal clock. Instead, it shakes gently on your arm to wake you up without making any noise. This way, you will not wake your family!
Answer Key & Explanations
7 C - Reason: Text C says it wakes you up "without making any noise". (Text A uses a "negative trap" by saying it makes a "loud noise").
8 A - Reason: Text A says it "gives you a message to tell you when it is time to go to sleep".
9 B - Reason: Text B says you can "look at the special app on your phone" which "shows you beautiful pictures". (Text A uses a "negative trap" by saying you "do not need to look at your phone").
10 C - Reason: Text C says it "plays nice music and quiet sounds of nature".
11 B - Reason: Text B says it "checks your heart all night".
12 A - Reason: Text A says it "notices if you move your arms and legs". (Text C uses a "shared word trap" with the word "shakes gently on your arm", but this is about the morning alarm, not moving while asleep).
13 C - Reason: Text C says it checks your bedroom to see if it is "too noisy". (Text A uses a "shared word trap" with "noise", but refers to its morning alarm, not the room's environment).

YouTube Workout Channels
Sam
I love the channel FitTeen. The best thing is that the videos are only ten minutes long. I can easily do a workout after school before I do my homework. The trainer plays great music, which makes me happy. My brother sometimes watches me, but he never joins in. You do not need to buy special things like weights for these exercises, which is great. I just wear my trainers and start moving. It is easy and fun.
Alex
My favourite YouTube channel is called DanceHealth. Every video has excellent pop music, and the presenter shows you how to exercise by dancing. It feels like a party! I always do these videos with my older sister in the living room. We usually exercise for an hour before we go to bed. We bought some small weights last week to make it harder, but they were not expensive. The instructions are very clear, so it is easy to learn the moves.
Jordan
I started using a channel called DailyFit last summer when we had no school for two months. The videos are quite long, but they are great. I always wake up early to do a workout before breakfast. The exercises are hard, but they really helped me. I play for the school football team, and I can run much faster now than last year. I told my friends at school about it, and now some of them use the channel too.
