Morning people and night owls
Fact 1. Some people are early birds. They get up at 5 or 6 am. Other people are night owls. They get up at 9 or 10 am. Scientists say: it’s in your genes (DNA). You can’t change it easily.
Fact 2. Many people turn on their phone first thing in the morning. But experts say: don’t do it! Wait 30 minutes. Your brain needs time to wake up.
Fact 3. In Japan, many workers skip breakfast. Why? They are in a hurry. But doctors say: breakfast is important. Don’t skip it.
Hobbies around the world
Fact 4. In Finland, people get together with friends for a strange hobby — mosquito catching! Yes, really. They catch mosquitoes fast. It’s a competition.
Fact 5. In the Netherlands, many people pick up a new hobby every year. They try painting, dancing, or cooking. But 50% give up after two months. That’s normal!
Fact 6. How to kill time in a long line? In England, people read books or play mobile games. In Brazil, people talk to strangers. In China, people watch short videos.
Weekends and evenings
Fact 7. On weekends, 60% of people stay in on Friday night. They are tired after work. Only 40% go out. Saturday is different — more people go out on Saturday.
Fact 8. How to take it easy after work? Different countries have different answers:
- In Spain: take a nap (siesta)
- In Sweden: drink coffee with friends (fika)
- In Australia: go to the beach
Fact 9. How to wind down before sleep? Scientists say: read a paper book. Don’t watch TV or phone. Blue light from screens is bad for sleep. But many people wind down with Netflix anyway.
Fact 10. In Italy, people get together with family every Sunday for a big lunch. They eat for 2-3 hours. Then they take it easy and sleep. That’s a beautiful routine.

Пример ответа:
I am a night owl. It’s better because I sleep more and rest more. For me, it’s more difficult when I get up early. I never skip breakfast because I like coffee and bread. People sometimes pick up a hobby but give it up after some time because they are bored, maybe. I kill time by watching TikTok. I prefer to stay in on Saturday because I am tired after a working week. I wind down by listening to calm music.
