The text is.......

A new report says that students do not learn very well when they use their mobile phones at their classes.

The London Schools of Economics did a study in England and found that test scores increased by six per cent after mobile phones were banned in class. Researchers looked at 145 students in the classroom. Some of the students could use their mobile phones during classes, while the others had their phones switched off.

As a result, the students who did not use their mobile phones while the teacher was talking got higher scores on tests they took at the end of the class. The researchers say it is very common for students to be physically present in class, but mentally absent because student are more interested in social media than learning. So, the non-stop battle of keeping students working is one of the biggest challenges of modern teachers.

1. Choose the correct title for the text.

I woke up late yesterday. I only got up at a quarter to eight and I haven’t got enough time to do my morning exercises or take a shower. I washed my face and hands and dressed quickly. I had a light meal and gave my son some money for his school lunch. “Can I have some money for an ice-cream, too, Daddy” he asked. “Don’t ask silly questions”, I said angrily. “Why did I say that?” I thought as I drove to the office, I went through the red light, and a policeman stopped and fined me. I was five minutes late to work and met my chief at the door. He saw me but didn’t talk to me. I didn’t have much to do, but I was very tired in the afternoon. When I got home I spoke angrily to my wife and son. I had supper, watched a football match on the telly and went to bed.
