Maisie: Hi Bruno, how are you finding life at senior high Bruno: Oh, hi Maisie. Well, it’s OK, I guess. The one problem is that I just don’t seem to have enough time for everything. There are basketball games, the music club, the school party. Maisie: Wow, you’ve got a lot on. But it’s more or less the same for me. And I find I always forget something. Bruno: Me too. We need to do something about it. My father told me that I should make a to-do list. What do you think Maisie: It’s a good idea to list the things we’re going to do. Bruno: And how about recording the time it takes to do the activities We can then see what takes up most of our time and make better plans. What’s your opinion Maisie: Great idea. And I've got two more ideas. Number one, only do one thing at a time. That way, you’ll get things done more quickly. For example, if you do your homework while watching TV, it will just take longer to finish your homework. Number two, do important things first. Bruno: Nice ideas! Maisie: How about we try all of them for a week and see if things get better

Then we could possibly take part in the English Club Drama Day from 6 to 8 pm at our school close to my home. What do you think B: No problem! It would be a good idea to watch a new English-language film at the cinema at 12:30 pm on Sunday. A: OK. But before that, how about going to the bookshop to buy a new dictionary first at 9 am on Sunday B: That’s a good idea. A dictionary is a necessary tool for us to learn words. A: Yes. If we have any problems, we can turn to it for help. B: Let’s record the things we’re going to do and the time they take. A: Cool. On Saturday afternoon, we’ll review this week’s English lessons together at my home from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. After that, we take part in the English Club Drama Day from 6 to 8 pm at our school.
