The Importance of Breakfast
Many people skip breakfast, but it’s often called the most important meal of the day. Eating a healthy breakfast provides your body with the energy it needs to start the day. It can improve your concentration and memory, which is especially important for students and people with demanding jobs.

The Impact of Social Media on Society

Social media platforms have profoundly reshaped modern society, influencing everything from communication and commerce to politics and personal identity. On one hand, they facilitate unprecedented connectivity, allowing individuals to maintain relationships across distances, share information rapidly, and mobilize for social causes. They have given a voice to marginalized communities and enabled new forms of artistic expression. However, the pervasive nature of social media also raises significant concerns. Issues such as the spread of misinformation, cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and the potential for addiction are widely debated. The curated, often idealized, portrayals of life on these platforms can also contribute to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety among users. As these platforms continue to evolve, societies worldwide are grappling with how to harness their positive potential while mitigating their adverse effects on mental health, social cohesion, and democratic processes.

5. What is one positive impact of social media mentioned?

6. Which of the following is mentioned as a concern regarding social media?

Task 2.4 (C1 Level)

The Future of Space Exploration

Humanity’s ambition to explore space continues to expand, driven by scientific curiosity, technological advancement, and the long-term prospect of resource acquisition or even interplanetary habitation. While the initial focus was on reaching the Moon and establishing Earth-orbiting stations, current endeavors are increasingly targeting Mars, with plans for crewed missions and potential colonization. Beyond Mars, concepts for missions to the outer solar system’s icy moons, which may harbor subsurface oceans and potential signs of life, are gaining traction. The challenges are immense: radiation exposure, long transit times, psychological effects of isolation, and the sheer cost. However, innovations in propulsion systems, life support, and robotics are steadily making these ambitious goals more attainable. Furthermore, private companies are playing an increasingly vital role, alongside national space agencies, in accelerating the pace of exploration and making space more accessible. The future promises not just scientific discovery, but potentially a multi-planetary future for humanity.
