Talk about it

9 Work in pairs and discuss the following topics. 1 A:

How do you feel about your college life?

B: It’s amazing! But I also feel exhausted because I am always busy with study and all kinds of activities. I really don’t know how I could manage both work and play well. A: Yeah, it is really a challenge for a freshman. B: Can you give me some advice on what I could do to solve this problem? A: Well, I think you must learn to be more organized and disciplined. 2 A: You must learn to be organized and disciplined. I think it’s wise for you to have a study plan. B: Oh! That’s a good idea. But I don’t know how to make a study plan. A: As I know there are 5 steps to make a good study plan. B: Could you explain it in detail?

A: Sure. First, you need to make this plan a permanent part of your life, so buy a good quality notebook to hold it in. Second, start with your broad education goals. List the courses that you must take to satisfy your degree or diploma requirements. Third, get into passing each individual course. That involves keeping a weekly study schedule that includes all of your courses. Fourth, keep a daily “to do” list in your notebook. Most successful people consider it a necessary step for making the best use of their time. Last but not least, evaluate. At the end of each day, before you retire for the night, you should go through your study plan and see whether you have completed it. 3 A:

What is a good study plan like? B: A good study plan should be simple, specific, possible, and written. A: Can you give me some examples? B: OK. When you have yours committed to paper, it should meet the following criteria:

Simple — never complicated.

Specific — never abuse generalities. It should state exactly what

you’re going to do, when, where, and how you’ll do it.

Possible — never be impossible. A good study plan details things that you’re capable of doing frequently.

Written — not dependent on memory or willpower. That’s because

you’re more likely to do something that you’ve put down on paper. A: It is very kind of you to offer me such helpful advice! Thank you very much!

B: It’s my pleasure.
