CHOOSE TEXT 1 OR TEXT 2 AND ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS FROM THAT TEXT ONLY. TEXT 1: MUSIC THERAPY AND MENTAL HEALTH Research shows that music therapy has benefits for various mental health conditions, including depression, trauma, and 1 schizophrenia. Music acts as a medium for processing emotions, trauma, and grief —but it can also be used as a relaxing or 2 calming agent. Because of its rhythmic and repetitive aspects, music affects the neocortex of our brain, which calms us and reduces 3 impulsivity. Depending on its content, music can match or alter our mood. Of course, there is music that can keep patients stuck 4 in a depressive, angry, or anxious state. However, therapists can choose a music that matches their patients’ current mood and 5 then slowly shift to another that evokes a more positive or calm state. 6 Music therapy is not only about music itself. Mental illnesses are often treated with talk therapy, but it may not work in cases 7 where the patient is not ready to speak about some topics. In such cases analysing the lyrics of songs may provide a less 8 threatening approach to processing emotions. We all have a song that we appreciate and deeply connect to. Analysing lyrics 9 encourages individuals to identify and focus on those songs, and this allows them to talk about ideas and feelings that may correlate 10 with their own experience. 11 Finally, writing song lyrics, or even composing, may also help patients to express themselves in a positive and rewarding way. 12 Anyone can create lyrics that reflect their own thoughts and experiences. Some people can even select the instruments and sounds 13 that best go with the emotion behind their lyrics. This process can aid in building patients’ self-esteem, because they feel better as 14 others listen to the lyrics they have created. 15 CHOOSE AND WRITE THE CORRECT OPTION (A, B, C or D).

She will also be remembered by someone who only lived with her for five days in 1984: Hugh Elliott, the current British 2 ambassador to Spain. 3 At age 19, Elliott arrived in Burgos without a place to stay. He was planning to pedal to Santiago de Compostela from there, 4 but his bicycle did not arrive in the same train as him. It was lost. Lourdes, who had never met him before, gave him food and 5 shelter for free until the bicycle appeared. But after those few days, Elliot never saw or heard about her again. 6 Thirty-five years later, the story has gone viral. The diplomat was recently in Burgos for an official visit and tried to locate the 7 woman who had helped him years ago. His message on Twitter soon surpassed anything he could have expected and thousands 8 of people shared his video online. That is how Alfonso Arnaíz, now 63, learned that the British ambassador was looking for his 9 sister, who had passed away in 1997 due to multiple sclerosis. 10 Alfonso himself knows what it’s like to need assistance while traveling abroad. He was once on a trip in a car that broke down 11 and was forced to find help. The mechanic fixed the car for free and Alfonso could finally come back to Spain. Looking back with 12 nostalgia, Lourdes’ brother feels that times have changed and that people are not as helpful today as they were in the past. “It is 13 harder for people to give something of themselves”, he said.14 CHOOSE AND WRITE THE CORRECT OPTION (A, B, C or D).
