Good afternoon. Let me begin my presentation by asking you this question: how much time does it take you to sleep, eat, commute and maintain your personal hygiene
every day? Do some quick calculations, and it will occur to you that these essential activities take up an enormous part of your day, leaving only limited time to stay with
family and friends, pursue a hobby or work on personal development.

Managing your time effectively, therefore, becomes a matter of critical importance. It means that you will be able to accomplish much more with less effort in shorter periods of time. It will keep your stress levels to a minimum, boost your performance and give you a sense of accomplishment, leading to improved self‑confidence and a more positive outlook on life.因此,有效管理你的时间就变得至关重要。这意味着你将能够在更短的时间内,用更少的努力完成更多的事情。时间管理会将你的压力水平保持在最低,提升你的表现,并且为你带来成就感,从而让你增强自信,对生活有更积极的看法。
Importantly, effective time management will not only support your studies today, but also help you throughout your adult life. So, now that you understand why good time management is of great importance, how can you improve your ability to manage your time? There are many things you can do, but let me share with you what I
consider to be the three most important skills.重要的是,有效的时间管理不仅会助力你现在的学业,还将对你的整个成年生活有益。那么,既然你明白了为什么良好的时间管理非常重要,你如何才能提高管理时间的能力呢?你能做的事情有很多,但请让我与你分享我认为最重要的三项技巧。
now (that)...既然;由于
The first thing you need to do is to plan ahead. Get into the habit of thinking about upcoming events and making a monthly, weekly or even daily to‑do list. This will give you a measure of control over what is going to happen.
你需要做的第一件事是提前规划。养成习惯去思考待办事项并制定每月、每周甚至每天的任务清单。这会让你对将要发生的事情具备一定的掌控力。
get into sth.养成某种习惯,习惯于;参与,开始(某事);对…产生兴趣;开始熟悉,学会
to‑do list待办事项清单
a measure of一定数量; 一定程度
Whether it is a planner that you stick on the wall or a calendar app on your smartphone, finding an organizing tool that works well for you is essential. Then, record all important events such as exams, projects and rehearsals, so that you know all the dates and deadlines and can prepare accordingly. 无论是贴在墙上的计划表还是智能手机上的日历程序,找到一项适合你的时间管理工具是至关重要的。然后,将所有的重要事项记录下来,如考试、课题和排练,这样你就能了解所有的日期和截止时间,并做好相应的准备。
plan·ner 记事簿,规划簿;设计者,规划者;城市规划者
cal·en·dar日程表,记事本;重大事件(或重要日期)一览表
After you have all that needs to be done in mind, you can set about creating favourable conditions to actually get things done. This is about the skill of organization. Being
well organized includes making sure you have everything ready for tomorrow’s lessons and after‑school activities.
当你把所有需要做的事情都记在心里之后,你就可以着手创造有利条件来真正把事情做好。这是关于组织能力的技巧。良好的组织能力包括确保为明天的课程和课后活动做好一切准备。
have sb/sth in mind (for sth)心中有适当人选(或想做的事等)
organized(人 ) 有条理的;有效率的
well-organized组织良好的; 有条理的
It is also important for you to organize your personal space at home so that when you are doing your homework, you are in a tidy place, free from distractions. This includes putting away your mobile phone until you have finished
everything that needs to be done.
整理好家里的个人空间对你来说也很重要,这样一来当你在做作业时,就会身处一个整洁的地方,不受干扰。这包括把你的手机放
在一边,直到完成所有需要做的事情。
free from/of sth没有…的;不含有害物的,不受…伤害(或影响等的)
Most importantly, you must learn to prioritize all your tasks. There is only a limited amount of time in a day, and even with good planning and organization, it is not always
possible to complete everything that needs to be done. In such circumstances, you will have to decide which task should be completed first. 最重要的是,你必须学会将你所有的任务分出轻重缓急。一天中的时间是有限的,即使有良好的计划和组织,也不总是能完成所有需要做的事情。在这种情况下,你会需要决定应该首先完成哪项任务。
pri·ori·tize/praɪˈɒrətaɪz/ 按重要性排列,划分优先顺序;优先处理
According to Stephen Covey’s Time Management Matrix, there are four equal areas indicating the tasks that you
have to or want to do every day. You should classify the activities in the four areas and identify which are urgent and important, which are not urgent but important, which are urgent but not important, and which are neither urgent nor important.在史蒂芬 • 柯维的“时间管理矩阵”中,有四个相等的区域表示你每天必须或想要完成的任务。你应该对这四个区域的活动进行排序,并确定哪些是紧急且重要的,哪些是不紧急但重要的,哪些是紧急但不重要的,以及哪些是既不紧急也不重要的。
mat·rix /ˈmeɪtrɪks/ (数)矩阵;社会环境;线路网,道路网
Understanding that tasks can be classified in this way will help you prioritize what needs to be done.△While choosing which task needs to be done first can be a difficult decision to make, it is important not to let peer pressure or the quest for short‑term rewards influence you,but to focus on the goals you have set for yourself and stick to them.明白任务能以这样的方式进行分类,将帮助你为需要完成的工作分出轻重缓急。选择需要先完成哪项任务可能是个艰难的决定,但重要的是不要让同伴压力或对短期回报的追求影响你,而是要专注于你为自己设定的目标并持之以恒。peer pressure同辈压力; 同龄人的压力
quest (for sth) v./n.探索, 寻找,追求(幸福等)
To bring my presentation to a conclusion, let me point out that once you start taking little steps every day to plan, organize and prioritize the activities you intend to devote your energy, skills and talents to, you will immediately begin to reap the rewards of your actions.
在结束演讲前,我要指出的是,一旦你开始每天迈出一小步来计划、组织和优先安排那些你打算投入精力、技能和才能的活动,你会立刻开始收获这些行动所带来的回报。
con·clu·sion/kənˈkluːʒn/ 结束,结果,结尾,结局;结论,推论;签订,达成,缔结
point (sth) out (to sb)(向某人)指出
The well‑known Chinese writer Lu Xun said, “Time is like the water in a sponge. If you are willing to squeeze, you will always get some.” Time is a finite resource, but with a little effort you can always find the time to do what needs to be done. To say “I have no time” is only an excuse for avoiding doing something that could actually be done. I hope you have found my talk interesting and useful and that you never again have to say “I don’t have the time to do that”. 中国著名作家鲁迅说过,“时间就像海绵里的水,只要愿挤,总还是有的。”时间是一种有限的资源,但只要稍加努力,你总能找到时间去做需要做的事。嘴上说“我没有时间”只是一个借口去逃避做一些实际上可以完成的事情。希望你觉得我的演讲有趣且有用,并且你再也不用说,“我没有时间做那件事”了。

B.If you were to give a lecture about time management, what information would you like to add to the lecture transcript?
First, I would like to share some examples of how people use their time effectively and achieve continued success. In this way, the audience would understand better how to improve their time management skills and the benefits they may receive.Second, I would give more tips about time management.
For instance, you can take note of the time of day when you are most productive and creative, and use it to work on the most demanding tasks. This could be early morning, late afternoon or after dinner. You should identify those times and schedule your tasks accordingly.Another useful tip is to get into the habit of setting a time limit for a task and sticking to it. Certain tasks can easily take the whole day or demand your constant attention. By putting a specific amount of time aside to do a task, you can focus better on it and also develop a regular sense of accomplishment.
productive有效益的;富有成效的
C.Give an example of using your time effectively and share with your classmates.
Last month I had to do a science project for school. It involved doing research,creating and recording an experiment and making PPT slides. With so many different tasks to do, I developed a to-do list to prioritize them. I also decided to break down each activity into smaller tasks, making them more manageable.
man·age·able /ˈmænɪdʒəbl/ 可操纵的,可处理的,易管理的,易控制的,易办的
Doing this allowed me to schedule smaller blocks of time that fit in better with my already busy school schedule. In the end, I managed to complete my project by the deadline, and I also received a good grade for it.通过这样做,我得以安排出更短的、更符合我繁忙的学校日程的时段。最终,我按时完成了项目,并且还因此获得了不错的成绩。
sched·ule /ˈʃedjuːl/ ~ sth (for sth)安排,为…安排时间,预定; ~ sth (as sth)列入,收进(正式目录、清单等中)
block(东西的)一批,一组;(时间的)一段
fit in (with sb/sth)(与…)合得来;适应

Michael kept looking at the clock on the classroom wall. He couldn’t wait for his Science lesson to end so as to get to his basketball practice on time. As soon as the bell rang to end the lesson, Michael grabbed his bag and dashed out of the classroom. As he turned the corner, he ran straight into a classmate, scattering the schoolbooks he was carrying all over the floor. No sooner had he said sorry and
picked up all his belongings than he started to run again.
他一边说着抱歉,一边捡起自己所有的物品,然后又开始匆匆跑开了。
scat·ter /ˈskætə(r)/ 播撒,(使)散开,(使)散布在各处
After the basketball practice, Michael hurried to join the other members of the school Debating Club. They had an important debate that day. To nobody’s surprise,Michael arrived late again, still wearing his sports clothes and sweating from basketball. Unfortunately, Michael hadn’t prepared his arguments properly and performed badly, letting his team down. Eventually, at the end of a long day at school, Michael arrived home, tired and unhappy.
In his bedroom, Michael sat down at his desk and sighed heavily as he looked at all his schoolbooks. He had to make preparations for the upcoming exams, but he could barely keep his eyes open. The next thing he remembered was his mother waking him up. He had fallen asleep with his head on the desk. As he sat up, his mother gently removed a sheet of paper that had stuck to his cheek. She smiled lovingly at her son and smoothed his untidy hair.蓬乱的,凌乱的

smooth 抚平,使平整,使平坦,使平滑,使光滑•
He smoothed his hair back.他朝后捋了捋头发。
“So,” she began, “how was school today?”
Michael looked nervously at her and took a deep breath. “Well, to be honest, not so good,” he said sheepishly. “I couldn’t focus on my lessons, I ran into a classmate and I let my debating team down. It doesn’t really get much worse than that, does it?”这种情况其实已经糟糕到不能再糟糕了
“Well,” Michael’s mother said gently but seriously, “I think you have been taking on too much.”

B2. How could Michael manage his time more effectively? Think about Michael’s problem, possible solutions and subsequent improvements. Write two paragraphs to complete the story. The first sentence of each paragraph has been given.
The next day, Michael set about making changes to his busy schedule. …
After Michael put his new schedule into practice, things began to improve. …
The next day, Michael set about making changes to his busy schedule. With the help of his parents, he prioritized his commitments. They all agreed that Michael should make schoolwork his top priority. He must concentrate on his lessons and complete his homework to a high standard. Next, to create a balance between his after-school activities, Michael promised himself and his parents that he would not engage in more than one after-school activity every day. In other words, he would attend basketball practices only on those days when the Debating Club had no meetings.
commitment已承诺(或同意)的事;不得不做的事
After Michael put his new schedule into practice, things began to improve. Once he recognized that his schoolwork was the most important thing for him, he could better
concentrate on his lessons and homework. Soon he found studying became much easier and more rewarding. No longer in a rush for basketball practice, Michael enjoyed
basketball more than ever and his skills also improved.

Meanwhile, he had more time to prepare for debates, so his performances in the Debating Club were improving, much to everyone’s delight.

Now he felt more confident and enthusiastic, and better able to focus on the things he had to do and on those he enjoyed doing.
