It was so funny when Neil checked his phone, then Beth shrugged and shook her head. Please do things like this more often! Also, Beth should have grabbed a piece of chocolate from her pocket to correspond with Neil checking his phone.

Beth does love chocolate! In a KZbin short, Beth couldn't stop eating chocolate! However, Beth doesn't need to kick the habit of overeating chocolate because Neil and Beth, in the News Review episode "Can diet improve memory?" said chocolate is good for you and can keep memory loss at bay!

I also check my phone many times. But I do not at the working place. So it seems that powerful habits can be kicked if appropriate tactics are adopted.

[@lhengnnu5114]

[@natalijapavlova6491]

Could I use life extension instead of longevity or it’s not a synonym and has another meaning?

[@bbclearningenglish]

It sounds very strange to say ‘life extension’. It’s very unnatural so ‘longevity’ is better when talking about ‘life’ 😊

I wish IELTS would adopt an easy exam format. Most youngsters should kick the habit of spending so much time using social media and doomscrolling. I believe doing exercise on a daily basis can extend our longevity and lead us to a healthy lifestyle.

we hope to take action to kick the habit of eating so much sugar. Hence, the advantages that we could get are making our body healthy, increasing productivity, and gaining longevity. Nowadays, some people adopt a new style of life by conducting intermittent fasting and doing more exercise.
