  1. Read the text and guess the meaning of the highlighted words

We know very well how important it is to study effectively, but it seems that we tend to forget that effective rest is as necessary to our well-being as effective studying. If you don't rest properly, it may lead to burnout. If you suffer from burnout, you are less productive because you have no energy to do anything.

How to rest well? You should make sure you take regular breaks. When you unwind, it doesn't mean you lie down and stare at the screen of your phone. It won't lower stress, and you will still be tense after such a break: you might feel as if you had no rest at all. If you want to bust stress, you should go for a walk or meditate. Besides, there are many other ways to rest effectively.
