Question 1

Question
In the urban areas that [blank_start]SURROUND[blank_end] the city of Madrid, people spend too many hours on buses to get to and from their jobs. But when mobile internet equipment was [blank_start]INSTALLED[blank_end], people were [blank_start]TRANSFORMED[blank_end] into quiet people. Moreover, many of those who go by bus everyday are students, and this fact could [blank_start]INCREASE[blank_end] their academic productivity, too. The idea of installing free internet areas in public transport frequented by students arose in the USA during [blank_start]OCCASIONAL[blank_end] drives on school business when they [blank_start]REALISED[blank_end] that one person and the other one could work using a laptop. This idea was well accepted by the students, who improved their academic performance. However, [blank_start]DESPITE[blank_end] their effort, the [blank_start]AMOUNT[blank_end] of homework done as the bus picks and [blank_start]DROPS[blank_end] off studentes is so low. The majority of them prefer to spend their time playing games or visiting social media sites, not many students do make [blank_start]USE[blank_end] of their travel time to do something productive.
