    A/ Comprehension Mark:
    Read the text carefully then do the activities that follow: 20
    Social Media has made our lives much simpler. With the touch of a
    button, we can send our message across the world. It has brought the world
    to our fingertips. With the advent of Social media came the influencers.
    Influencers are popular celebrities with huge fan followers.
    The main job of a Social Media influencer is to get more followers to
    whom they can advertise their products. They also get paid by the Social
    Media platforms for the advertisements their viewers see. The lives of Social
    Media influencers look luxurious and flamboyant. They seem to have the
    ‘Picture Perfect’ lives, there is another side of these Social Media Influencers,
    they are the best examples for the “fake it till you make it” attitude. Even
    though their lives look ideal from the outside, in reality ,they suffer
    from abuse, family issues, or personal issues, which are usually well hidden
    from the outside world. Sometimes, they become too egoistic due to their
    popularity, that they end up in unwanted scandals. One must always remember that influencers are paid for acting
    perfect.
    It’s time we stop following these fake influencers. Instead of following them, we must follow
    entrepreneurs and scholars. Following entrepreneurs gives us a sneak peek on their business lives, and scholars
    give us the inspiration to perform better. One can also follow exceptional sportsmen of various different sports,
    and learn life lessons from them. Motivational Speakers, holding events in TED, TEDx and YouTubers that cover
    topics such as religion, science, history, wellness and healthy lifestyle can bring positive improvements to our
    lives.
