I’m fond of acting, so I’d like to join the drama club which is held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Wednesday in Room 201, where the experienced director will help me find my inner star.

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 toid me that I shouid 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 long
