You may know about “junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”? Recently, a British survey found that electronic products(电子产品) in teenagers' bedrooms are affecting(影响)their sleep.

The survey was done among 1,0 00 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that 30 percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours of sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours. Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.

“This is very worrying.” said Dr Chris , a British expert, “We call it ‘junk sleep’, It means you don't get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don't get good rest, you don't perform well in school the next day.”

The survey found that 40 percent of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, Mp5 or TV in their bedroom. And many of them have all three.

My name is Claire. I live in a very small house in a town called Kingston.

I love to visit Highgrove Road. This road has a lot of big houses on it, some even look like palaces. Highgrove Road is next to the beach. I like to sit on the beach and imagine (想象) what these houses look like inside.

My favourite house is a pink house at the end of the road. In my dreams this house has four sitting rooms and two dining rooms, all on the ground floor. One dining room is for the family and the other one is for friends. It has a really big kitchen next to the dining room. The house has a bathroom with a toilet, a sink(水槽), a bath and a shower. The house is very tidy(整洁的) and very quiet. Sometimes you can hear the sound of the sea or the sound of the rain on the roof (房顶), if it rains. In front of the house, there is a big garden with a swimming pool. It is the biggest swimming pool in the whole town. A friendly family live in this house and they often invite friends over to use their swimming pool.

My dream is to live in a house just like this. My mother thinks I should stop dreaming and start studying for my exams!
