While connectivity is valuable, the negative impacts on mental health, academics, and social skills are undeniable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Body Point 1:<\/strong> &#8220;First, social media addiction reduces focus on studies. Students spend 4+ hours daily scrolling instead of studying. My classmate Sarah, who quit Instagram, improved her Maths score from 65 to 92 in just 3 months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Body Point 2:<\/strong> &#8220;Second, cyberbullying and comparison anxiety damage mental health. Students compare their lives to curated posts, leading to depression and low self-esteem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Body Point 3:<\/strong> &#8220;However, some argue social media aids collaboration. Group projects and educational content are accessible. But this benefit is outweighed by addiction risks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> &#8220;In conclusion, students must limit social media to 30 minutes daily. Schools should teach digital literacy to make students responsible users. Only then can we enjoy social media without sacrificing academics or mental health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Writing Practice Schedule<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Week 1-4:<\/strong> 1 letter\/notice every 3 days (12 total)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 5-8:<\/strong> 1 paragraph every 3 days (12 total)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 9-16:<\/strong> Mixed practice letter + paragraph same day<\/li>\n<li><strong>Week 17-20:<\/strong> Timed practice (30 min total for both)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Get Checked:<\/strong> Have a tutor review your writing for grammar, flow, and mark deductions. <a href=\"https:\/\/studypointedu.in\/english-tuition-nikol-ahmedabad\/\">Study Point&#8217;s English tuition in Nikol<\/a> includes weekly writing correction with detailed feedback.<\/p>\n<h2>Section 3: Literature &#038; Grammar Score 48\/50<\/h2>\n<h3>Literature Questions (30 marks)<\/h3>\n<p>CBSE tests understanding, not memorization.
