SECTION C(20 marks)(Time suggested : 20 minutes)Question 4 (15
marks)Read the speech below.
Good morning teachers and friends. In conjunction with Be
Healthy week, I am happy to be given the opportunity to share some
tips about sleep with you. A good nights sleep helps your brain
learn new things and promote good health. Not enough sleep can
actually damage brain cells.
However, instead of telling you ways to enjoy a blissful sleep,
I am going to talk about habits that can steal away your sleep.
Exercising late in the day is one of the habits to avoid. This
is because exercise increases your bodys core temperature. When
this happens, you will find it harder to fall sleep. It is best to
exercise two hours before your bedtime.
Eating a lot at dinner is another habit. If you eat a large
meal, it will take a longer time to digest the food. As a result,
you will only fall asleep much later. Remember to eat more during
lunch and less at dinner.
Leaving your bed in a mess is another sleep stealer. Research
shows that sound sleep comes to those who make their bed. About 45
percent of people indicated that they sleep more soundly when they
slept in beds that were made.
Using your laptop in bed can also chase away your slumber.
Playing computer games and surfing the internet on your laptop are
activities which stimulate the brain. Instead of winding down to
prepare for sleep, you will be alert. The light emitted from the
laptop can act like daylight. This will stop the production of the
sleep hormone. To avoid this, switch off your electronic gadgets an
hour before your bedtime.
This also means you should not do your homework or assignments
that require the use of the computer in bed. Schedule to complete
your homework or revise your studies earlier. Stop working at least
an hour before you sleep.
Dear teachers and friends, I know that everyone is busy but we
should make an effort to avoid these habits. If you do, you are
helping yourself to get a healthier body and mind.
Thank you.
