A recent study by the Department of Health found that 27.34% of high school learners in urban areas are overweight or obese, a significant increase from previous years. Health experts warn that this trend contributes to rising cases of diabetes, heart disease, and other lifestyle-related illnesses. Poor diet, lack of physical activity, and increased screen time are identified as key factors. "We are seeing more young people with health conditions that were once considered adult diseases," said Dr. Sibusiso Mthembu, a public health specialist. The economic impact of obesity is also a concern. Medical expenses related to obesity-related illnesses are expected to place a heavier burden on the healthcare system. Additionally, reduced productivity due to health complications could affect the workforce in the future. Schools and government officials are being urged to implement stricter regulations on junk food sales, encourage healthier meals, and promote exercise. Without immediate intervention, experts predict the crisis will continue to worsen, affecting both individual well-being and the broader economy. 4.1 Does the article above contain hard news, of soft news?

'n Onlangse studie deur die Departement van Gesondheid het bevind dat 27,34% van hoërskoolleerders in stedelike gebiede oorgewig is, of aan versug ly. 'n Aansienlike toename vanaf die vorige jare. Gesondheidskenners waarsku dat hierdie neiging tot toenemende gevalle van diabetes, hartsiektes en ander lewenstylverwante siektes bydra. ʼn Swak dieet, gebrek aan fisieke aktiwiteit en verhoogde skermtyd word as sleutelfaktore geïdentifiseer. "Ons sien meer jong mense met gesondheidstoestande wat eens as volwasse siektes beskou is," het dr. Sibusiso Mthembu, 'n openbare gesondheidspesialis, gesê. Die ekonomiese impak van vetsug is ook 'n bekommernis. Mediese uitgawes wat verband hou met vetsugverwante siektes sal na verwagting 'n groter las op die gesondheidsorgstelsel plaas. Boonop kan verminderde produktiwiteit as gevolg van gesondheidskomplikasies die arbeidsmag in die toekoms beïnvloed. Schools and government officials are being urged to implement stricter regulations on junk food sales, to encourage healthier meals, and to promote exercise. Without immediate intervention, experts predict the crisis will continue to worsen, affecting both individual well-being and the broader economy. 4.1 Bevat die artikel hierbo harde nuus, of sagte nuus?

Skryf 'n direkte verkopebrief aan ouers waarin jy FitKidz as 'n moontlike naskoolse aktiwiteit vir kinders tussen die ouderdomme van 5 en 18 jaar adverteer. Jou verkoopsbrief moet aandui wat presies FitKidz aanbied – is daar groepklasse met afrigters (coaches), of dalk eerder persoonlike afrigters (personal trainers) vir kinders? Wat is die koste? Is daar gesinsafslag of spesiale aanbiedinge, en hoeveel keer per week moet die kinders FitKidz bywoon? Jy moet ook verduidelik waarom ʼn oefenprogram vir kinders voordelig vir hulle gesondheid is. Ouers moet natuurlik ook weet hoe om met FitKidz in verbinding te tree. Maak gebruik van die AIDCA-formule. Jou brief moet al vyf van die volgende elemente insluit: aandag, belangstelling, begeerte, geloofwaardigheid en aksie. In die linkerkantste kantlyn van jou verkoopsbrief moet jy aandui waar elk van hierdie elemente voorkom. Bestudeer Les 4 vir meer inligting oor die direkte verkoopsbrief voordat jy begin skryf. Jy sal ook 'n paar voorbeelde van direkte verkoopsbriewe in Les 4 vind. Jy mag nie van KI gebruik maak nie. Skryf die brief in jou eie woorde. Let noukeurig op na die formaat en struktuur van jou verkoopsbrief. Laat die assesseringskriteria hieronder jou lei.
