In the first exercise, the passages provide factual information about an educational app and its features, such as tutors in remote areas often charging lower rates and the app not yet being very well known. The second exercise tests understanding of true/false statements about redesigning an old product and its specifications. The third exercise involves longer passages about the concept of "digital detox" and strategies recommended in a book, such as removing notifications and replacing digital distractions with real-world ones.
