IDENTIFYING
THE MAIN
IDEA

KEY POINT #
1

Discourse
markers

We listen to perform
tasks. We listen to follow
instructions. We listen to
generalize information.
We listen to interact with
other people.

The point I want to

make here is that
listening is an
important skill.

KEY POINT # 2

Repetition

Research shows that many

teens do not get enough sleep,
yet most are unaware of this
fact. Because you are young,
you may feel you can handle a
few nights of little sleep,
but it takes a
long term toll
on your body.
During sleep,
your body
repairs damaged tissues.

During sleep, your body

removes toxins from cells.
Sleep also strengthens the
immune system. In
addition, research suggests
sleep
allows your
brain to process
and store memories
from your waking hours.
