XIX. Describe your usual day. Is it different from this girl’s day?
XX. Read the text and be ready to discuss it: planning one’s daily schedule
Have you ever thought that twenty-four hours are not enough to do everything you have to do? All of us have so many duties! In addition to the daily routine at offices, schools, hospitals etc, we have always a lot of housework to do, i.e. to do the cleaning, to shop and cook, and to do the washing as well as the ironing. It’s really surprising how much work some people manage to do! It often happens that we don’t have enough time to do everything, and thus put off till tomorrow. What do you think is the reason? Why do some people manage everything while others can’t?
A lot depends on how you plan your daily schedule. If you plan your day carefully, you’ll be able to do more, and it’ll take less time. If you ask someone to see you at a definite hour, for example, the other person will also plan his day accordingly. If you know how long you can keep your visitor, you will try not to waste his time and have everything ready when you meet. Your visitor, in turn, won’t keep you longer than necessary and will leave as soon as you’ve discussed the problem. It doesn’t mean that you’ll interrupt before you finish the discussion. No, you’ll go on discussing the matter until you settle every point. But the time limit you set will help you speak to the issue and not waste time.
Planning the day is especially necessary for people who want to make time for other things. Many successful people say that a daily timetable has helped greatly. There are some people, however, who will say that a strict timetable makes life dull and uninteresting. What do you think?
XXI. Topics for discussion:
-
Do you think that twenty-four hours are not enough to do everything you have to do?
-
Do you like to put things off? Do you often have to do so? Why?
-
Is it true that some people manage better than others? What’s the reason?
-
Is it necessary to plan a daily schedule?
-
Do you manage to keep all the appointments you make?
-
Is it always easy to speak to the point and do you always manage to speak to the point? Upon what does it depend?
-
Can you achieve anything really important if you don’t plan your time?
-
Do you find that strict timetables make our life dull?
