  1. What is pet peeve? It's when someone, or something, actions really irritate you and you just can't stand it. It could be irrational, and not even annoy anybody else. It can be different for anyone. For example, “ I hate it when a person goes to turn while driving, and they don't turn on their blinker”. Or “ I hate it when people who don't cover their mouth while sneezing or coughing.

  2. Which of the following bother you?

  3. SOME KEY WORDS • I can’t stand it when people brag (= showing off) all the time. • Nothing bugs (= bother) me more than people who talk too loud in restaurants. • People who won’t wait in line really annoy (= disturb) me. • It’s embarrassing (= awkward, losing face) to see people bite their fingernails. • It bothers me when I see people chewing on (=biting and grinding with teeth) ends of pens and pencils.

  4. SOME KEY WORDS • If you always check your phone messages, you may ignore (=refuse to pay attention to) people around you. • If you write in a library book, you’ll ruin (= destroy completely) it for the next reader. • Listen for gist (= central idea) • She even bites her fingernails at mealtimes (=the time have meals). • It is weird (= odd, unusual).

  7. The Amazing Media Habits Of 8-18 Year Olds Kids are leading the world's transition to digital media. This is in part because kids aren't afraid of technology, and, in part, because kids haven't spent years getting use to anything else. So if you want to get a sense of where the world's media habits are headed, it makes sense to watch what kids are doing. The Kaiser Family Foundation did just that in a comprehensive survey released in January.  Kaiser surveyed more than 2,000 families, and turned up all sorts of interesting information about the media habits of 8-18 year olds. Some key points: • Kids consume a lot of media--and more all the time.  Basically, if kids are awake, they're consuming media.  And, increasingly, they're consuming multiple forms of media at the same time. • Kids' print media consumption is tiny and falling. • Kids' digital media consumption is going through the roof.

  8. No big surprise there.  What is a surprise is how little parents seem to care about this.  (Or, alternatively, how much parents encourage this media consumption by consuming a huge amount of media themselves.) • In 2/3 of households, TVs are on during meals • In 75% of households, TVs are on when no one is watching them. • More than 70% of kids have TVs in their bedrooms • Only 1/3 of households have media-consumption rules No surprise, more media is consumed in households in which TVs are always on, where there are no rules, and where kids have TVs in their bedrooms. No surprise, kids who consume the most media get the worst grades (is this cause or effect?)
