Part 1

Concentration

1 Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?

Yes, I've got a poor concentration span. Well, a lot of the time, anyway. There are times when I can focus really well - when I've had a good night's sleep, or when I am feeling calm and confident. But if I am stressed or nervous, I find it hard to concentrate on things and I am easily distracted.

2 What do you do to help you concentrate?

I put on noise-cancelling headphones - you know, those kind of headphones that play music but do not allow other external sounds to enter your ears! I put on light classical music, and I make sure I shut the door and I tell my friends and family that I need to study in peace.

3 What may distract you when you are trying to stay focused?

When I am trying to stay focused I can get easily distracted by many things. Firstly, my own thoughts start to wander off, and I suddenly realise I am staring out of the window thinking about something completely different and not focusing on my studies. Sometimes if I hear music or my parents or friends talking outside the room I start to lose my concentration. Things like that.

4 When do you need to be focused?

Usually I need to concentrate and be focused when I am doing homework. Some people can study when there is a lot of noise around them, but I can't, I have to be in complete silence. I must be in a place where there is no music, no household noise, no people talking… total silence. Maybe I am not good at concentrating and I get distracted too easily… but that's just the way I am. It's my personality.
