B2 — 4 ítems The Role of Social Media in Modern Communication Social media has become one of the main ways people stay connected. While these platforms allow users to share ideas instantly, they also create pressure to remain constantly available. Many young adults report feeling anxious if they do not respond to messages quickly or if their posts do not receive enough attention. On the other hand, social media has given individuals and small businesses powerful tools to reach a wider audience. Independent artists, for example, can promote their work without relying on traditional media companies. Despite its advantages, experts warn that social media can affect users’ self-esteem. Comparing oneself with others—often through edited or unrealistic images—may lead to negative feelings. Because of this, psychologists recommend setting limits on screen time and being mindful of how online interactions influence emotional well-being.

B1 — 4 ítems Healthy Habits and Productivity Many people believe that being productive means working long hours without breaks, but research shows the opposite. Short pauses during the day help the brain stay focused and creative. Drinking enough water also plays an important role, as dehydration can reduce concentration. Another helpful habit is taking a short walk outside. Even ten minutes of fresh air can improve mood and energy levels. Although these activities may seem small, they can make a big difference in daily performance, especially for students or people with demanding jobs.
