Speaking exercise

I think 996 means start at 9 o’clock, finish work at 9pm, and you should work 6 days during a week. I don’t like this system. I think it’s very tired for people. I think I can start work at 9 am, but I want to finish work on time, not finish work at 9 pm. I think it is bad for our health. Someone spend on his job, maybe he will lost his health.

I am not addicted to my phone now because I have been busy since Spring Festival. But I have been addicted to my cell phone last year. There are 2 app which named weibo and douyin. I have opened them to watched video every day and everywhere when I was boring. I think weibo and douyin waste my time because I spent a lot of time on them, so I have deleted the app last year. But I have download the app on Spring Festival because I noticed that many friend were watched video or article on weibo or douyin. If I don’t have this app I have no topic with them. It was so embarrassed.
I have no idea that how to have a healthy live. Maybe we can do some exercise or eat more vegetables. Go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Many people know the way to have a healthy live but they can’t do it well, include me.
I think self-control is important for every one. If someone have strong (great) self-control, he or she can have a healthy live.

Revised

I am not addicted to my phone anymore because I have been busy since the Spring Festival. However, I have been addicted to my cell phone for the past years. There are 2 apps which named weibo and douyin. I use/access them to watch videos every day and everywhere whenever I am bored. I think weibo and douyin took up too much of my time because I spent a lot of time on them, so I have deleted the apps last year. But I have downloaded the app on Spring Festival because I noticed that many of my friends were watching videos and reading articles on weibo or douyin. Without these apps, I would have common topics with them. It would be so embarrassing. 
I have no idea that how to have a healthy life. Maybe we could do some exercises or eat more vegetables. we could go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Many people know the right ways to have a healthy life but they can’t do it well, including me.
I think self-control/ self-awareness is important for everyone. If someone has strong (great) self-control, he or she would have a healthy life.
