Amanda goes to work every day. She works in an office. She works very hard. She starts at 7 o'clock in the morning and finishes at 10 o'clock at night. She likes her work, but she has one problem. Her boss is not a very good boss.
He tells her to do one thing, and then he changes his mind. Later, he tells her to do another thing, and then he changes his mind again. Amanda doesn't like this. She says, "This is a waste of time!"
Today Amanda decides to talk with him. She goes to his office and says, "I like to work. I am a good worker. But I can't work like this. We have to work better. You need to tell me what to do without changing your mind."
Amanda's boss listens to her. He thinks that she is right and promises to accept her advice. Now Amanda is happy. She comes to work every day. She starts at 7 o'clock in the morning and finishes at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but she completes much more things than before! Amanda and her boss are happy.
— I am sorry. He ______________________ an important meeting in his office now.
Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a top student. In fact, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well, you may improve your study without much work. Here's how.
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time, you should make a list of things that you have to do. First, write down the time for eating, seeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good time for study. Of course, study shouldn't take all of your time. Don't forget to leave yourself enough time for hobbies.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television! When you sit down to work, think only about the subject!
Make good use of your time in class. Listen carefully to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. You also need to take notes in class, because it can make it easier for you to learn well.
There are only a few ways mentioned here to help you with your study. I believe you can find many other ways besides these.
