Lesetext 1: The Decision

Lies den Text in Ruhe und beantworte dann die Fragen darunter.

Maya stared at the test paper. Next to her, her best friend Leah had left her answer sheet open, almost inviting a glance. The question Maya had struggled with all week was right there, solved. For a moment, the temptation was overwhelming. A single look, and her grade would be safe. But Maya thought of all the evenings she had spent studying, and of the quiet pride she felt when she solved a problem on her own. Copying would make this victory empty. She turned her eyes back to her own paper and wrote what she knew, even if it was not perfect. When the results came back, Maya had not got full marks. Yet as she walked home, she felt strangely light. She had earned every point herself. Some victories, she realised, are measured not by the grade, but by the choice behind them.

Lesetext 2: Social Media and Well-Being (article)

Lies den Text in Ruhe und beantworte dann die Fragen darunter.

Social media keeps us connected to friends across the world, lets us share ideas and gives a voice to people who were once unheard. Yet researchers warn that heavy use can also harm our well-being. Constantly comparing our lives to the perfect images others post may lower self-esteem. The endless stream of updates is designed to keep us scrolling, which can eat up hours and disturb our sleep. Some users also experience cyberbullying, which can be deeply hurtful. None of this means social media is simply 'bad'. Like any tool, its effect depends on how we use it. Experts suggest setting time limits, turning off notifications and remembering that online images rarely show the whole truth. Used thoughtfully, social media can connect and inspire; used carelessly, it can leave us anxious and tired. The choice, in the end, is largely ours.
