Junk food is highly processed and nutrient-poor, posing significant dangers to our health. It
can lead to weight gain, chronic diseases, dental issues, addictive eating patterns, and
negative effects on mental well-being. Choosing a balanced diet of unprocessed foods is
essential for optimal health (Newington et al., 2023).

PARAPHRASE (49 words) SUMMARY (25 words)

The dangers of junk food stem from its highly
processed nature and lack of nutrients,
posing serious health risks. These include
obesity, illness, dental problems, poor eating
habits, and negative impacts on mental
health. Good health is best achieved by
opting for a well-balanced diet consisting of
unprocessed foods (Newington et al., 2023).
Consuming processed and nutrient-poor junk
food has significant impacts on both physical
and mental health, so a balanced diet is vital
to maintain good health (Newington et al.,
2023).

Original text Notes

The first smartphone was a game-changer in

technology. It combined the features of a mobile
phone and a computer, revolutionizing
communication and information access. In 1992, IBM
introduced the Simon Personal Communicator, which
had a touchscreen, email, a calendar, and basic apps.
Summary
But it was the Apple iPhone in 2007 that really
transformed smartphones. The iPhone had a sleek
design, easy-to-use interface, and many features like
internet access, apps, and multimedia. Since then,
smartphones have become a vital part of our lives,
influencing how we communicate, work, find
information, and navigate the world.
