Đề thi VSTEP Reading B1 — Breakfast Habits and Student Performance

Many students rush out of the door in the morning without eating anything. They grab a coffee or a sugary snack and head straight to school. However, nutritionists say this habit can hurt their learning. Breakfast gives the body fuel after a long night without food. When students skip breakfast, their blood sugar drops, and they often feel tired and cannot concentrate in class. A study of 1,000 teenagers found that those who ate breakfast scored higher on attention tests than those who did not. A healthy breakfast does not need to be complicated. It should include protein (like eggs or yogurt), whole grains (such as oatmeal or whole-wheat bread), and fruit. This combination keeps energy steady for several hours. Parents can help by preparing simple options the night before, such as a bowl of cut fruit or a sandwich. Even eating a banana and drinking milk is better than skipping the meal completely. Small changes in the morning routine can make a big difference in how students feel and perform at school.
