Step 4:
Obesity or overweight is when your weight does not match with your height and the weight
is much bigger than the height. There is some solution for people who are overweight, for
example making some exercises would help them to decrease their weight specially walking.
Making diet according to a doctor recipe, eat healthy food and avoid eating fast food and
chocolate is another solution because it contains a huge number of calories and fats. In my
opinion obesity is very dangerous and people should be more careful about their weight
because if they are overweight they might have deceases like hearth attack and high blood
pressure and Diabetes. Moreover overweight people are forcing many problems like they
dont find cloths that fit to them and they may dont have enough space for them to sit in
some places. I believe that those people need encouragement to make a change in their
weight and life style to have a better weight, better life and better health. Thats why we
should encourage them to change their weight and their food style. Moreover, I think that
the government should reduce the junk food restaurants because it has a bad effect on
people. Or they might have special meals for diet and dont contain fats like other meals, so
people can manage their food and dont eat food that make them gaining calories and more
weight.

Conclusion:
In the end of this assignment, I have learnt a lot while I was doing this report. Some steps
were really amazing to enhance my search abilities. Other steps I need to work on them
more to avoid the challenges in order to improve my skills.
First it was easy to serve through different websites in order to search about the topic and
also I did it smoothly. Furthermore, the categories are well organized as they are ordered
alphabetically. For example, when I started to search about obesity I just accessed the
website and went through the category O to find out the results easily that matches my own
interests. Also when I searched about the book that I wanted to use from the library, I can
make sure of its availability either from our campus or others, therefore I can order the
book. Moreover this website enables to have an accurate position in the library where I can
just pick up the book quickly.
On the other hand, some challenges I have faced were confusing as not any topic can be
combined with videos. Also each video needs its own program to operate it.
