  1. Hi Kayla,

    Super interesting and useful your articles. Water is essential because it helps digestion, eliminates waste, keeps the kidneys healthy and provides constant hydration to the entire body. Most people prefer to drink sodas instead of water which is of concern to the health of thousands of people. On the other hand, it is true that most of the drivers are not waiting for speed signals for that reason they are often stopped and exposed to an accident. We need careful and responsible drivers when driving. Good job!

  2. Hi Kayla,
    I really enjoyed your article about water consumption. It is something that people don't realize sometimes, the benefits of drinking lots of water. I also found the article about people working at home and suffering isolation interesting. My mom works from home and I don't see this problem but I guess it could be because she is constantly in contact with people and having to go places.
