2021年9-12月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 17 Plan 计划

1. Do you make plans everyday?

I think it is a very good idea to make plans every day. Organizational skills are very important and making plans is a good way to ensure that you are being productive. So, I try to make plans most days but I do not make them every day. I think it is also important to have days to relax where there is nothing definite you have planned to do. It is important to have balance in life.

2. Are you good at managing your time?

I am quite good at managing my time. When I was young, I used to be quite bad at time management. I would get distracted (干扰、思想不集中）very easily and often forget to do things. Then my friend suggested that I write lists and use them to help me manage my time. Ever since then I have been far more focused and efficient in my day to day tasks. Following lists is a very effective way to manage your time and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is distracted easily.

3. What is the latest plan you made?

I am an actor and I recently was given a leading role in a new play. There were a lot of lines I had to learn for this play, so I planned a schedule for how and when I would learn the lines. I dedicated different times of the day for the different scenes I was in. I followed my plan in a committed manner every day and I learnt my lines very quickly. Following a plan is a very effective way to achieve your goals.

4.What is the hardest part about making plans?

Personally, I believe the hardest part about making plans is finding a balance between work and relaxation. It is very important that we reward ourselves for hard work and take well deserved breaks. Giving yourself time to relax is important to achieve long term productivity. However, I often struggle to plan breaks when there are a lot of things which I have to get done. I am trying to figure out a good way to ensure I am finding time to relax in between work.
