PASSAGE 1:

It is said that about 40 per cent of the world’s population use social media, and many of these billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends to follow. So what is an influencer and how do we become one?

An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their relationship with their audience and their knowledge in a particular area, e.g. fashion, travel or technology. Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. They have the power to make people buy things, and influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking powerful influencers to market their products. With some influencers asking for $25,000 for one social media post, it is no surprise that more then here are five tips on how to do it.

First, choose your niche. What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it. Next, choose your medium and write an interesting bio. Most influencers these days are bloggers and micro-bloggers. Decide which medium—such as your own online blog, Instagram or Snapchat-is the best way to connect with your followers and chat about your niche area. When you have done that, write an attention grabbing bio that describes you and your specialty area in an interesting and unique way. Make sure that people who read your bio will want to follow you.

PASSAGE 2:

At the start of every now year, many of us promise ourselves that a certain number of times a week we will go to the gym, go jogging, attend an exercise class, etc. But many of us have a hard time including exercise in our lives, or we start off well and then stop.

The key could be to find the right type of exercise for you. After all, if we end up doing something we enjoy and can see the positive effects of, we are more likely to do it for longer than a few weeks. Studies suggest that six weeks are all it takes to form a habit, so once we have managed to continue for that length of time, chances are that exercise has become a routine part of our lives that we do not question. So what exercise is right for you?

First of all, you need to find out what your goal is. Are you mainly interested in de stressing or in getting healthier? If your important goal is relaxation, then ask yourself if you want to do this energetically, in which case a type of exercise based on boxing may, for example, be right for you. If you have a calmer style, then you could choose some exercise you can do alone, such as walking, doing some gardening, or selecting a brisk daily walk around the block. If you get more interested in working with others, then you could join a tennis, fitness or t’ai chi class, all designed to stretch and strengthen your muscles and with the added benefit of calming the mind.

۹۷- The passage claims that many of those who promise themselves at the beginning of each new year that they would start doing some type of exercise ———

۱) never join a sports club

۲) fail to keep their promise

۱) help people choose the right exercise for themselves

۲) introduce the positive effects of exercise on people’s health

۳) explain the reasons why people stop exercising after some time

Answer option: 1
