Question 36. 

a. My goal was simple: no phone, no laptop, and no social media from Friday evening until Monday morning.

b. I quickly found myself pacing the room, fighting a strong, almost physical urge to check my email or scroll through feeds.

c. The experience was a powerful reminder that I need to control my technology, not let it control me.

d. Feeling constantly distracted by notifications, I decided to attempt a full "digital detox" for an entire weekend.

e. Instead of giving in, I dug out an old book and went for a long walk, focusing entirely on the world around me.

Question 37. 

a. David: It's a serious problem. The job opportunities are here, but they barely cover the cost of rent and transport.

b. Maria: Exactly. And the financial pressure just makes it impossible to save money or even enjoy the city life we moved here for.

c. Maria: Do you ever wonder if living in this city is still worth it, given how high the cost of living has become?

d. Maria: I suppose it's a major trade-off. We gain career growth but sacrifice our short-term financial well-being.

e. David: That's the core issue. Even a small pay rise seems to disappear instantly on basic necessities.

Question 38. 

a. Anna: Sounds good. Let's see what time the next showing is.

b. Anna: I was really hoping we could finally see that new action movie tonight.

c. Ben: Oh, I'd prefer something lighter, to be honest. How about that new animated film?

Question 40. 

a. The cafe has now become the neighborhood's most popular spot, consistently busy from morning until night.

b. These combined efforts have dramatically improved the customer experience, resulting in glowing online reviews and strong word-of-mouth.

c. To tackle the service issue, the owner invested in a new espresso machine and hired two additional baristas.

d. Regarding the atmosphere, they also repainted the walls, updated the furniture, and curated a much better music playlist.

e. For years, my favorite local cafe struggled with two main problems: painfully slow service during peak hours and a dull, unwelcoming atmosphere.
