To get a feel for our students\u2019 interests, we decided to take a look at these top performers and explore some reasons behind their popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re searching for articles to discuss with new students or are just curious about our students, keep reading!<\/p>\n<p>The complete list of top Daily News articles is provided at the end of this post.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_and_Diet\"><\/span>Health and Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Health and diet are among the most popular Daily News topics, at 15 articles:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-305\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074304\/image1.png\" alt=\"health and diet articles\" width=\"624\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074304\/image1.png 624w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074304\/image1-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Notably, six articles were about sleep. The interest in sleep might be related to how common sleep deprivation is in Japan and South Korea, where most of our students are from. People in these countries <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/237873\/south-korea-needs-a-good-long-nap\/\">tend to sleep less, on average, than most of the developed world<\/a>. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nippon.com\/en\/features\/h00301\/no-sleep-for-japan-survey-reveals-half-of-population-may-have-insomnia.html\">about half of people in Japan may have insomnia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it\u2019s easy to jump to the conclusion that our students are health-conscious people trying to sleep more and stay healthy. But our tutors shared a different picture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of my students say they need more sleep,\u201d said one tutor (\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded). \u201cBut they don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible for a working person to get the recommended seven to eight hours every night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another tutor (\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddf8) shared, \u201cYou know how at the end of the article, there are discussion questions like, \u2018Will you apply the advice from this article to your life?\u2019 Most of my students usually say, \u2018Probably not.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So if our students aren\u2019t going to act on the health tips, why do they like reading about them? Tutors believe that students find these topics more accessible \u2013 especially compared to articles on world politics. After all, everyone can relate to eating and sleeping!<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, it\u2019s clear that our students like thinking and talking about health, so be sure to recommend our <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/materials\/health-lifestyle\/0xcduMYWEei-XVPv0MdlmQ\">\u201cStaying Healthy\u201d series<\/a>, which covers all the health-related vocabulary they\u2019ll need in their daily lives.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Work_and_Lifestyle\"><\/span>Work and Lifestyle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Work and lifestyle were also popular topics, at 15 articles:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-306\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074318\/image3.png\" alt=\"work and lifestyle daily news\" width=\"624\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074318\/image3.png 624w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074318\/image3-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A few of these articles were related to quality of life. Research has shown that many people from our students' countries aren't satisfied with their quality of life. For example, both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org\/countries\/japan\/\">Japanese<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org\/countries\/korea\/\">South Koreans report below-average life satisfaction<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the \u201cWhy Do Americans Work So Much?\u201d article overturns a common perception that Americans enjoy a higher quality of life. It also contradicts the view that Americans are lazy. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2015\/04\/09\/how-americans-and-japanese-see-each-other\/\">only 25% of Japanese consider Americans hardworking<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the countries our students call home have some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_largest_cities\">most populated cities<\/a> in the world. People from these places often complain about how crowded their cities are, which might explain the interest in \u201cThe World\u2019s Least and Most Crowded Places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, there were also two articles on the benefits and disadvantages of working from home, which may reflect two things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Many of our students have long commutes. For example, workers in Tokyo spend <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.realestate.co.jp\/living\/average-work-commute-time-japan\/\">an average of 1 hour 42 minutes commuting every day<\/a>. So students may be interested in the idea of working from home because it would save them a lot of time!<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWork life\u201d is a big part of life in East Asian countries. Your company isn\u2019t just where you work; it\u2019s also a community (whether you like it or not). For example, in Japan and Taiwan (our third largest source of students), there's a sense that companies need to take care of their employees. For this reason, companies are often hesitant to fire people and may even provide money to employees who have lost a family member to help cover funeral expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Language_and_Learning\"><\/span>Language and Learning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Finally, it's no surprise that articles on language and learning are popular, considering that our students pay for a language-learning service. There were eight articles in this category:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-307\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074332\/image4.png\" alt=\"language and learning daily news\" width=\"624\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074332\/image4.png 624w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/06\/12074332\/image4-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At first, \u201cFasting May Improve Your Memory\u201d doesn\u2019t seem directly related to language or learning. However, Tutor J.V. (\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded) notes, \u201cNone of my students who took this lesson were actually interested in fasting, but they want to improve their ability to remember vocabulary.\u201d<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Takeaways\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>To summarize, these were
