Task 1. Read the text and choose the correct answer

🌐 Paragraph 1

Today, the Internet plays a very important role in the lives of teenagers. Most young people use it every day for communication, entertainment, and study. They send messages, watch videos, search for information, and do homework online. For many of them, the Internet is the first place where they look for news, advice, or interesting ideas. It helps them stay connected with the world and with each other. However, some teenagers begin to depend on it too much and spend almost all their free time online.

2. What do many teenagers do online? A) Grow vegetables B) Repair computers C) Search for information and send messages
3. Why is the Internet important for teenagers? A) It helps them stay connected B) It teaches them to drive C) It replaces school completely

---

📱 Paragraph 2

Although the Internet has many advantages, spending too much time online can create serious problems. Teenagers who use phones or computers for many hours often sleep badly and feel tired during the day. Their eyes may hurt, and they may find it difficult to concentrate on schoolwork. In some cases, they stop doing sports, walking outside, or meeting friends in real life. As a result, their health and mood may become worse. That is why doctors and teachers often speak about the importance of limiting screen time.

1. What can happen if teenagers spend too much time online? A) They may have health problems B) They become better at sports C) They always get better marks
2. What problem is mentioned in the text? A) Teenagers forget how to read B) Teenagers may sleep badly C) Teenagers stop eating
3. Why do doctors and teachers speak about screen time? A) Because it can cause problems B) Because computers are too expensive C) Because teenagers do not like the Internet

---

💻 Paragraph 3

At the same time, the Internet can be extremely useful in education. Students can attend online lessons, watch educational videos, read articles, and practise foreign languages. If they miss a class, they can often find the necessary materials online and study them later. Digital technologies also make learning more flexible because students can learn at their own speed. In addition, many teachers use online platforms to share homework, send messages, and organise class projects. This makes communication between teachers and students faster and easier.

1. How can the Internet help students? A) It can make learning easier B) It can stop them from studying C) It can do all homework for them
2. What do teachers use online platforms for? A) Only for games B) For homework and communication C) For travel planning
3. Why is learning more flexible today? A) Because students do not need books B) Because students can learn at their own speed C) Because schools are smaller

---

⚖️ Paragraph 4

The most important thing is to use the Internet in a smart and balanced way. Teenagers should understand that online life is not the whole world. They need time for hobbies, sport, прогулки, family conversations, and rest. A healthy routine includes both online and offline activities. Parents can help by setting reasonable rules, and schools can teach children how to use digital technologies responsibly. When teenagers learn to control their time, they usually become more organised, healthier, and happier.

1. What is the main idea of this paragraph? A) Teenagers should never use the Internet B) Teenagers need balance in life C) Parents should take phones away forever
2. What else do teenagers need besides online activities? A) Only more homework B) Hobbies, sport, rest, and family time C) More computer games
3. How can adults help teenagers? A) By teaching responsible use B) By ignoring the problem C) By giving them more screens

🌟 Paragraph 5

In conclusion, the Internet is neither completely good nor completely bad. It is a tool, and everything depends on how people use it. It can help teenagers learn, communicate, and develop useful skills, but it can also waste time and harm health if used without limits. Modern life is impossible without technology, so the best solution is not to reject it, but to use it wisely. Teenagers who learn this early will be better prepared for adult life in the future.

1. What does the author think about the Internet? A) It is completely dangerous B) It is completely useless C) It can be both helpful and harmful
2. What is the best solution according to the text? A) To reject technology B) To use technology wisely C) To stop using the Internet at school
