    What is a fair wage? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} These are some of the questions the United Nations International Labour Organisation(ILO) has recently investigated.

    With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world The result was a world average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 

    This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 

    Calculating an average sum like this might not be a completely fair representation, but these figures do help us to understand how the world is developing, both economically, in the quality of life people are experiencing and their standard of living.

    But the result shows that the average wage is still relatively low and there remains a huge difference in levels of affluence around the world. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Is this fair? For many, pay equality still seems very far out of reach.

Making the decision to invest in healthy lifestyle changes is more than just flipping a switch. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Psychologists have found that it takes an average of 66 days for a new habit to become automatic, but the truth is that building and maintaining lifestyle changes is highly dependent on each individual. However, there are some easy strategies that can help you develop a lifestyle change plan that works for you.

Focus on the whole picture. Lifestyle changes are like a puzzle. There are many pieces that must be added up to the whole picture. Building habits in only one area of the puzzle will leave your overall picture lacking dimension. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} So it is important to understand how they all interact when setting up your lifestyle change plan.

Set realistic and achievable goals. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Focus on setting goals that are realistic. Instead of expecting to run a marathon in six months, shoot for running a 5-kilometer race and then work up to the marathon. Setting realistic goals that you can achieve and then building on them will help you maintain momentum（动力） and stay motivated.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Building habits takes time. Be patient with yourself and understand that the fastest way forward isn't always the smartest way forward. The goal in creating lifestyle changes isn't to get to the finish line as quickly as possible. The goal is to build habits that are sustainable in your everyday life. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Do you have plastic bottles at home？Did you throw empty plastic bottles into the trash，just because you didn't know how to use them？However，there are many interesting things you can do with empty plastic bottles! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

● Separate eggs.Do you find it challenging to separate eggs？In some recipes，you just need the yolks （蛋黄） or the whites，but the process is a bit complicated. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Break the egg into a bowl.Remove the lid from the bottle and pinch a little.Then continue the pressure，put the ends into the yolks and stop the pressure.In this way，the yolks will be absorbed into the bottle while the whites will remain on the plate. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} When making biscuits，you may need tools to cut them.Plastic bottles will do again.Making a homemade biscuit cutter from plastic bottles is the best way to reuse plastic bottles，as you never know the situation when you need to use it.You just need a small or a large plastic bottle depending on your needs. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} And then take one of two sections to cut the biscuits. 

A.Cut off the biscuits.
