Many pupils tell us that they are busy with their study every day and don't have enough time to do
what they like to do. Brian, 13, said, "I don't have much time for friends. I wish I could talk to them more."
Mary feels that she never has enough time to practice her violin and play with her friends. She spends
most of her time studying and doing her homework.
Alice, 14, wants more time for skating and Rick, 15, wishes he had more time to watch TV. Morgan,
12. said, "I never have time just to be myself, talk with my friends and write in my diary!"
Well, time is the same to every one of us. We can't get more time or make time slow down. What we
CAN do is try our best to manage (明智的使用) it. This means that we should know about everything we
HAVE TO do and WANT to do. For example, we have to study, sleep, eat and make our house clean. We
want to do things that make us feel relaxed (放松的) and happy. Then we should try to understand how
much time each activity will take in a day. After we know that, we can make a plan to help us get through
the day without too much hurry.
I think that if all of us use our time properly, we'll feel happier.
