Lesetext 1: A New Start

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

When Mia arrived at her new school in Manchester, her hands were shaking. She had moved from a small village, and everything here felt huge and loud. In her first lesson, the teacher asked her to introduce herself. Mia's voice was barely a whisper. At lunchtime she sat alone, staring at her sandwich. Then a girl named Priya sat down opposite her. 'You look as lost as I felt last year,' Priya said with a grin. 'Come on, I'll show you around.' By the end of the day, Mia had joined the art club and learned the way to the library. Walking home, she realised that the morning's fear already felt far away. A new start, she thought, was not so frightening after all - especially with a friend.

Lesetext 2: Why Sleep Matters

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

Many teenagers do not get enough sleep. Scientists say that people between 14 and 17 need about nine hours of sleep each night, but many get far less. During sleep, the body repairs itself and the brain stores what we have learned during the day. Without enough rest, it becomes harder to concentrate, to remember facts and to control emotions. Tired students often do worse in tests, even if they have studied hard. One big problem is the use of phones late at night. The bright screen tricks the brain into staying awake. Experts therefore suggest putting devices away at least an hour before bed and keeping a regular sleeping routine. Getting enough sleep is not lazy - it is one of the simplest ways to stay healthy and learn well.
