  2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析:你浪费时间的场合

  Describe an occasion when you wasted your time.

  You should say:

  Where you were

  When it was

  What you did

  And explain why you think it was a waste of time

  Emmm, there are a few occasions when I think that I wasted time. In fact, I am the kind of person who can be incredibly focused on work or studies at times, and on other occasions I can be quite absent-minded and find it hard to concentrate. I think a lot of people are similar – there are days when I can get loads of work done in a few hours and am highly productive, but other days, especially when I am worried or anxious about something, where I feel a bit guilty because I simply can’t focus or concentrate on the task at hand. The time I feel quite bad about was during the summer holidays at home when I had lots of work to do, and I just couldn’t relax or settle to do it. I left it all till the very last few days then got really stressed having to cram it all in. I should have just got down to it and done it little by little each day but I frittered my time away then had the huge project to tackle all in the last two days. I really don’t like doing things in this way, and I think it’s a bad use of time and causes one a lot of stress as well. I think good time-management skills are important and I have since trained myself to be much better in this regard.

  Part 3

  1. How can we avoid wasting time?

  We can avoid wasting time by planning things properly, managing our time well, keeping schedules, to-do lists, task list and things like this. These are the best ways to avoid frittering time away. Also, I’d say it’s a state of mind issue – you have get into the right state of mind and develop a positive mental attitude to planning and not procrastinating – you know, putting things off till the last minute is always a bad way to approach things.

  2. How can parents help children manage time?

  Most certainly parents can… they can teach children about good time management, as they get older, for example through structuring their time to do homework, to watch TV, etc. Parents can make sure they balance their leisure time with their work and study time. Parents should indeed teach kids about this kind of thing.

  3. Do you think having a rest is a waste of time?

  No, of course not, especially if you have done your work tasks or homework and other important domestic errands and things like this, having a rest is also very important to get your energy back, to get your head clear and to charge your batteries for the next time you have work or responsibilities that require energy and effort.
