Bad Habits
Message de unexpectedly posté le 29-07-2006 à 18:14:16 (S | E | F | I)
Hello everybody !

I'm Anas from Morocco .I'm 17 years old . I'm in 2nd year high school.I have been learning English for 2 years just by myself without getting any help.
I'm a new member in this fabulous forum and I came with an important new topic , we're going to talk about bad habits because we’ve all got them some. Some of us bite our their fingernails, others of us crack our their knuckles. Some people have a habit of smoking, others have a habit of tardiness...

Bad habits are unhealthy behaviors that we can’t stop doing.

So please let's talk about our habits and please don't be shy because as I said before : We've all got bad habits . And I guess the epitome of a bad habit for me would be smoking. So what do you think?

Hi

Indeed, smoking is a bad habit. Fortunately I don't have this bad habit but I'm used to biting my fingernails when I'm stressed out !! ...

It's amazing but I don't even notice I'm biting them. I tend to do it before taking an exam for instance

mmh... Ah yes !! I have another one, too ! It's funny but when I stay 5 minutes without speaking, I can make crack the knuckles of my jaw ... I don't know why but it's funny ...

See you and welcome to this forum

Hello,

I agree with you, everybody has bad habits, and mine is to not not to call my friends and pay them a visit too. I would like to change but it is so difficult for me. Maybe one day I will do it.

Hello moecha!
There is quite a wide variety of “bad habits” like being a bad listener, bragging, complaining, interrupting, exaggerating, nose picking, overeating...... Pencil chewing and nail biting can be considered as a natural response to anxiety and don't seem to harm anything apart from the pencil, your nails (and your teeth perhaps?). However, such silly little bad habits can really annoy people around you!
As far as I am concerned, I easily give too much priority to one activity, neglecting others. At first, it doesn't sound bad at all, but in the long run, that attitude creates a succession of bad habits and a lack of balance, harmful to myself and others around me.

Hello,

Watching television too much is also a very bad habit. First, it's harmful for the family life because there isn't enough communication nor participation in other activities. In addition, the quality of broadcasts is often very bad and, as a result, television deadens the mind. And , besides, we nibble !

As for unexpectedly and nick27, one of the worst habit I have is to bite my fingernails. I have been used to do it since I was a little girl. I especially do it when I've nothing to do.
