QUESTÕES EAM 
Read text I and answer questions 01 and 02 
Why you’re more creative in coffee shops 
If we’re already working in isolation at home, why do we miss working with our heads 
similarly down in a public setting? 
Some of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops. 
Pablo Picasso, JK Rowling, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, Bob Dylan – whether they’re 
painters, singersongwriters, philosophers or writers, people across nations and centuries have 
tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a café. 
Of course, Covid-19 has put the kibosh on lingering for hours in cozy rooms packed with people 
sipping lattes. As we begin another year living amid a pandemic, many of us continue to work 
remotely on our own. And if remote work becomes permanent for some – as many experts predict 
– we might ask ourselves why, when things settle down, we should bother going back out to work 
in public, only to ostensibly isolate ourselves with our heads down – something we’re already 
doing at home. 
But putting on your noise-cancelling headphones to toil away at your desk is actually different 
than doing the same surrounded by other people buzzing over your shoulder. There are many 
ways coffee shops trigger our creativity in a way offices and homes don’t. Research shows that 
the stimuli in these places make them effective environments to work; the combination of noise, 
casual crowds and visual variety can give us just the right amount of distraction to help us be our 
sharpest and most creative. (So, no, it’s not just that double espresso.) 
A sweet spot of noise and crowds 
Some of us stick in our earbuds as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. But scientists 
have known for years that background noise can benefit our creative thinking. 
A 2012 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research showed that a low-to-moderate level 
of ambient noise in a place like a cafeteria can actually boost your creative output. The idea is that 
if you’re very slightly distracted from the task at hand by ambient stimuli, it boosts your abstract 
thinking ability, which can lead to more creative idea generation.
