Dear Grandma,

It was nice seeing you at Christmas. You looked so happy!

After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on（反思） what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．

I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks. We made many "playhouses" in the woods．

We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．

You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．

But you taught me how to fix it．

I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．

Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．

Love always,

Kelly

Do You Have the Time? In English, this question has two different meanings. The first one is “Do you know what time it is？” While commonly, this is less frequently used than the simpler question with the same meaning “What time is it？” The other is “Do you have the time (e.g.to do this or that)？” This is a very commonly asked question, whether in American, British, or Australian English. I think the response “I don't have the time” is most commonly used year after year. _1.

Think about how often you (and I) have used this as an explanation of why we couldn't do something, take on a new task, help someone, visit someone, etc. Sometimes it's a statement of fact, and sometimes it's just an excuse. 2. However, deep down we each have a pretty clear idea of the difference. In practical terms, the lack of available time seems to be and often is a true reason for why we cannot take something on. 3. “I just don't have the time” is too often an escape. Once we get to a certain age, when we are generally considered to be grown?ups, we are expected to have developed time management skills. In many instances, “I don't have the time” has the same meaning as “I am not willing to make the time”. Sure, we're all busy, but in the end, it's a matter of which is more important.

4. It doesn't grow on trees or fall from the sky like raindrops. You make the time as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. 5. If you don't decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. It's really up to us to decide on how to balance and manage time, and that's a challenge.

A．No one gives you the time.

B．After all, it's so convenient as an excuse.

C．The key is what criteria you rely on to make decisions.

D．The distinction here between them is blurry (模糊不清的) and subjective.

E．Be aware it's the world's most common excuse, whether you speak it out or not.

F．But it does mean we need to develop a clear approach to time management.

G．Actually if we try to rearrange our time, or make a sacrifice, we can make it.
