Healthy Week.Writing to advise – identifying the conventions.

Hi Debbie,I really need help giving up smoking but nothing seems to work. I've triedpatches and gum and even started reading Alan Carr but it hasn't helped. I

smoke about 10-20 a day which is a lot less than I used to but still bad and I justcan't kick the habit.

Please help!

Page 10: Helen Cairns - sample#187CFimage.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/...for? It’s time to start enjoying the rest of your non-smoking life. Good luck! Healthy Week. Analysing

Hi there,

Giving up smoking has got to be one of the most agonising problems that people face.The smoking habit begins so easily, but most people end up regretting that they everstarted, once they realise how hard it is to give up.

I'm afraid there is no easy solution here, there is no magic bullet. The only way to kickthe habit is quite simply stop! I do realise this sounds ridiculous - but as an ex-smokermyself, I speak with a little experience and having given up now for many years, I knowthat there is no substitute for sheer willpower and determination.

There are various techniques designed to help you kick the habit such as acupuncture,nicotine patches, hypnosis, but I'm afraid the statistics don't make encouraging reading.Patches and gum score the best, with 30 - 40% of users having success in stopping. Asfor hypnosis, there is very little evidence that it works, in fact, being told to stopsmoking by your doctor has a greater success rate with 2% of people managing to kickthe habit because their GP tells them to!

So what should you do? My advice is simple and cheap. Set yourself a target of notsmoking for one month. Throw away your cigarettes, and during this time, avoid placeswhere people smoke, avoid mixing with friends who smoke and 'trigger situations'(times when you always had a cigarette), such as after dinner, or with a cup of coffee.Instead go for a walk straight after dinner or do the washing up. Basically change yourhabits, so that you are not constantly reminded of cigarettes.

It’s also important not to drink too much alcohol during this time, as a few drinks willsoon dent your resolve. Get through the first month one day at a time and pretty soonyou will be feeling so much better, that you really won’t want to smoke any more. Plusany hangovers won’t be nearly so bad!

Keep reminding yourself of the benefits too. There are the obviously health advantages,but also your skin will improve, wrinkles will disappear or reduce. You will smelldelicious, be able to taste your food and be able to run for a bus without gasping forbreath. At the end of the day, you can stop if you really want to. So what are you waitingfor? It’s time to start enjoying the rest of your non-smoking life.

Good luck!Healthy Week.

Analysing types of writing.

How does the writer of this article convince the reader to become healthier?

Safe Ways to ExerciseIf you're a teenager, you probably have a few things on your mind. School, parents, friends,homework, college and, of course, what's going on with your body. The rest of us are also a littleworried about your body due to the growing obesity problem in America. Because of that worry, thefocus has been shifted from adults to, you guessed it, you. While adults still need to get moving,starting a healthy lifestyle when you're young can make your life as an adult a whole lot easier.

Exercise Do's

Experts generally agree that anything that keeps you active and helps you stay active is a good thing.That's a pretty broad scope, so let's narrow it down. What kinds of activities are good for you?

• Vigorous Aerobic Exercise. This includes sports like football, tennis, soccer, etc. It alsoincludes walking, jogging, swimming or running away from your brother after stealing oneof his fav CD's. It all counts.

• Strength training. Strength training involves using free weights, machines, or your ownbody weight to increase muscle strength and endurance.

• Regular exercise. Aside from participating in a sport or some type of programmed exercise(like kickboxing or something) you also should just move around occasionally. Sure your X-Box is cool, but sitting around is only going to make it harder to get moving later on in life.

Exercise Don'ts

There's not much out there that you can't do except for power lifting. Strength training is anacceptable way to build strength and stay healthy, but power lifting is usually focused on how muchyou can lift at one time. Lifting too much weight and using improper form can lead to some seriousinjuries.So, now you know you should be doing some strength training and some aerobic exercise. But, whatyou really want to know is how to lose weight, build muscles and get some awesome abs, right? Thenext page tells you how. While you're probably worried about how you look, it may not be possibleto change much at this stage in your life because your body is still growing and changing. In fact,the body you have now may not even remotely resemble the body you'll have in a few yearsHowever, that doesn't mean you should avoid exercise or strength training. It will definitely helpyou get stronger and, for teenaged girls, it can help reduce your risk of osteoporosis, a degenerativebone disease.The point is that strength training and cardio exercise are good for you, but don't expect too much! Idon't want to sound like your mother, but I'm going to anyway. You're too young to worry aboutthese things! Relax, have fun and try not to obsess too much because, frankly, you'll have the rest ofyour life to do that.

We all have flaws. Some of them fade as we get older or start to workout, and some don't. For nowjust relax and enjoy life!Student Leadership

CRN

Apologies: Ellie Braefield (Senior Prefect)

1. Review of current Curriculum

Students were asked to name they’re favourite lessons.Yr 7 – PEYr 8 – Drama (went on to say that one lesson a week wasn’t enough)Yr 10 – Art/PE/JSLA (practical subjects)Yr 11 – EnglishYr 7 – Biology (more practical than other sciences)

Further discussion concluded that the more practical subjects were the subjects favoured by students

2. Improving current curriculum/subjects

It was suggested that more college options should be available to year 11s. MG pointed out thatmore careers require an more educated background. Yr. 9 want to be able to pick and mix collegecourses with GCSEs, and think they should be more informed about GCSE courses as well asCollege courses.

Yr 11 said that ICT was taught by dictation, and this should be taught or format should be changedso that students can develop more skills. It was also pointed out that the skills needed to take theexam were not being taught.

More practical work across the curriculum, not just writing.

More group work in English and Maths

More progression/careers days stating in Yr 9 so they can start thinking before choosing GCSEs

3. Suggestions for new Subjects

• Home economic Lessons• Teaching home based skills eg.• Proper meals instead of fancy cuisine or biscuits• DIY in resistant materials• Combined PE and Science (particularly Biology)• Mix the lessons together• Skills for Working Life• Teach students to:• -Write a proper C.V.• -Interview advice• (done in Year 10 make sure this is redone in Yr 12)• -Plan a day without school (what do you have to do? When do you have to do it?)• More mixed courses• Students compared qualifications of some role models and came to the conclusion that you

don’t need a load of GCSEs to be successful however there are some key skills that will bemore beneficial. An equilibrium between qualifications and skills was not reached. Forexample - Law and Politics, Basic First Aid Course

• Different to the current enterprise day in that students will have simulated jobs. They willhave to be independent for that week. And have ‘jobs’ at school. With teachers as bosses,covering a variety of sectors and popular jobs (maybe after Yr 11 exams?)

4. Any Other Business

More GCSE optionsTNR pointed out the importance of MFL’s and outlined the policy for Technology.

Healthy Options are more expensive than less healthy options which leads more students to buy theunhealthy ones

ÿ More sports Mornings (Yr 8)ÿ Boxing and Self Defence classes or as part of PE sports rotation for each termÿ KS4 Drama Clubÿ Not Enough Vegetarian Options in the cafes

Self Injury Awareness Day (1st March)

Raising awareness of the reasons and consequences of self-harm and providingsupport for sufferers.

LifeSIGNS define self injury as:'Any deliberate, non suicidal behaviour that inflicts physical harm onyour body and is aimed at relieving emotional distress. Physicalpain is often easier to deal with than emotional pain, becauseit causes 'real' feelings. Injuries can prove to an individual thattheir emotional pain is real and valid. Self injuriousbehaviour may calm or awaken a person. Yet self injury onlyprovides temporary relief, it does not dealwith the underlying issues. Self injury canbecome a natural response to the stressesof day to day life and can escalate infrequency and severity.'More information can be found athttp://www.lifesigns.org.uk/ . TheLifeSIGNS Charity also offers orangewristbands to wear to raiseawareness year-round.
