2019年9月-12月雅思口语Part 1 Topic 25 Plan/Time management

1. Do you make plans every day?

I don’t make plans every single day268, but I do most of the time. I like having things organized and planned out. It makes everything a lot less stressful. I don’t really play it by ear269 when it comes to my daily schedule. It’s better to have everything in order.

2. Are you an organized person?

Yeah, I think I’m a fairly270 organized person. I keep track of271 all the tasks I have to do, and I always put my appointments on my calendar in advance272. It might sound like a chore273, but it honestly makes life a breeze274 when you stay on top of things275. It’s a lot less stressful that way.

3. Are you good at managing your time?

I think I’m pretty good at managing my time. I can definitely get distracted from time to time. That means I waste a lot of time doing unproductive things. But for the most part276, I know how to spend my time well. It makes things easier when you have that skill. It comes in handy in the long run277

4. What is the hardest part of making a plan/managing your time?

Well, the hardest part is actually sticking to278 your plan. Whether it’s an actual plan or just something you want to do with your time, it can be hard to follow through sometimes. For example, something fun might come up when you already have plans to do something else. It’s hard to stay on task279 all the time.

5. What is the latest plan you made?(请根据复习的当下时间调整时态)

I just made plans to see a movie with my mom. It’s our way of 280 celebrating Mother’s Day281. You know, it’s really important to spend quality time with your parents. So I think this will be a great way for us to bond. We can see the movie and even go for dinner after. It’ll be a blast.

6. What do you usually do on weekends?

I usually catch up on sleep282 or spend time on my hobbies during the weekend. Sleeping in on a Saturday morning is one of my favourite things to do. I also love spending the day reading books or watching movies. It’s a great way for me to kick back and relax after a long week of work.

7. Do you like spending more time with friends or with family?

It’s hard to say because I love both my friends and my family. But right now, I guess I like spending more time with my friends. They have really similar interests, so we always have lots to chat about. I can just be myself around them283 and have a blast hanging out with them.
