—all required school activities

—work schedule

A master schedule can help you keep track of all the things that you need to do. If you know what you have to do and when you need to do it, you can prepare better to finish it on time.

【2】____________________．

Plan when to do all your tasks for the week. Schedule time to study for tests, read your textbooks, write papers, go to work, be at meetings. Leave enough time for your household duties.

【3】_________________．

Make a “to do” list the night before or the first thing in the morning. If you write down what you need to do, your mind will be free to study. You won't worry and spend time thinking about what you have to do next.

【4】___________________．

Use it for a few weeks, then ask yourself some questions. Are you getting your schoolwork done on time? Are you getting more things done? Do you feel you have control of your time?

Yes? Then you should look at your schedule to see how it can be improved. The following things may help you.

【5】_______________．

Break the big tasks down until they are small enough that you feel you know about how long it will take to complete them. Then fit them into your schedule. Follow your schedule closely. Even a well-planned schedule can't help you if you don't follow it.

【题目】Like many other places in the world, recently, Indiana education officials decided that the schools of the state will not be required to teach handwriting skills to students any longer. Instead, they will focus their energies on teaching students how to type. Is handwriting still an important skill? An online survey received some surprising responses.

Handwriting is not necessary. Students only need to know how to read it, and the only time that they must write something is to make a signature. Why stress them more than they need to be stressed? We already put so much pressure on them to perform on state tests. —Rita

Children don’t write letters now. They send e-mails or text messages. A lot of those old ways are going away. How many bills do you pay by writing a check anymore? —Brown

Although my son is not comfortable with writing, I bought a workbook for him to practice his handwriting. Can you imagine being an adult and not being able to sign a document? —Susan

What a shame! I guess one day it will be a lost art, because handwriting is that personal and beautiful. It has personality —Anna

The school where I worked dropped handwriting several years ago. Unless the students have computers in class, they will not be able to take notes at high speed. I have to speak very slowly and stop after a sentence or two because many students write very slowly. —Helen

【题目】Dear Mr. Plant,

I am an enthusiastic camper and longtime X-Ports customer, but after being offended（冒犯）for the third time at your Sierra Vista location, I am writing to complain about your impolite employees.

Several months ago ,I bought a tent that leaked（漏）the first time I used it and wanted it replaced . When I took it back, your employees accused me of tearing it myself. I left not only withm1, torn tent, but no refund(退款) and no satisfaction.

A couple of weeks ago , I bought a sleeping bag that was supposed to sleep two people comfort-ably. It didn't. Your employees refused to give me my money back even though I had the receipt. I was asked to leave the store, again with no satisfaction.

To my misfortune, my latest purchase(购买), of a piece of camping equipment at your store proyed to be another disappointment. The propane (丙烷) camp stove I bought didn't work properly. When I returned to exchange it, the rude clerk refused to help me because I did not have my sales receipt. It was an even exchange! He said that I was a problem and even asked if I had seen what products I-could purchase at one of your competitor's stores at comparable prices. Was he accusing me of something? Why would I have brought a receipt for an even exchange? Why would I know the price at other stores?

Furthermore, the clerk called security and forced me to leave your store-without my camp stove! How can I go camping now? The tent leaks, thesleeping bag is just wrong, and I don't have a stove to keep warm ! Who is going to refund my money for my stove? Who is going to help me get over the abuse I suffered in your store?

You, as the area manager must clear these matters up for me immediately! I am sending copies of this letter to your main office and the Sierra Vista Store.

Sincerely ,

Ima Kumpanee
