2.    Write the author's name: magazine: The bible's viewpoint

3.   Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?

4.    Read the article and describe in as much detail as possible what you understand of it.

·        It`s about the viewpoint of God through the bible. According the text, the bible gave us laws and norms for take care our bodies. The bible have some theories about why we get sick such as: evil spirits provoke us injuries, and also could be characteristics of the human evolution. But according with a part of the bible, people get sick actually because our  forefathers came out to god, with this action the broke their perfectionist. The Bible teaches that if you become reconciled to God by obeying his wise principles, you will eventually enjoy perfect health in an earthly paradise.

·        God allowed people that know how to cure sicknesses could help god using different items such as: natural medice, etc.

·        the Bible does not endorse the pursuit of health at all costs. For instance, the Bible does not endorse the modernday practice of faith healing. And cures that involve spiritistic practices are not approved by God

            The article is about how parents can help their children to obtain benefits of being kind and to avoid being contaminated by the self –absorbed culture that surrounds them. Consider three traps that could foster a me-first spirit in your children, and see how you can avoid those traps. They are overpraising- do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest overprotecting - can send the wrong message that they don't need to take responsibility for their actions, and overproviding - be careful not to use stuff as a drug to cover over families issues.

1.    Write  the title of the article 10 ''bad'' things that an be good for you

2.    Write the author's name: Barbara Adamski

3.   Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?

 it's a good article only reading the tittle i think it's about important things for our life that we always thought was bad for us.

4.    Read the article and describe in as much detail as possible what you understand of it.

i think it's a good article because it shows us important things that someday they told us it was bad the first thing is computer games and video games, people always thought that  video games are  bad  but it's a wrong idea because videogames help us to control and develop our 5 senses . Another thing is to listen  to music is good for us if we listen on the high volumen it's good for us because it helps for our brain, its like a practice that it's about  send information and the last is  sending messages and not to communication i think sometimes it's good for our privacy but acording with the reading sometimes it's good because it helps with the comunication  with our parents but the disadvantage is when the son can say lies to their parents another disadvantage is that adolescent can send messages anonymous but  advantage is the most important.
