北师大版高中英语模块7--Unit 23 Lesson2-3

[00:00.00]Wow, 40 percent of the population
[00:03.63]is a lot of people!
[00:05.32]Yes, and despite these facts,
[00:07.50]students nowadays are often sacrificing sleep
[00:10.21]for extra study time.
[00:12.13]It may seem like a good idea to stay up late
[00:14.87]for a few extra study hours,
[00:16.89]but lack of sleep is actually detrimental¹
[00:19.22]to studying.
[00:20.60]So what is the right balance?
[00:23.27]There are 168 hours in a week
[00:25.85]so I imagine that managing this time
[00:28.09]is very important.
[00:29.39]You're right.
[00:30.33]Students need to use their study time wisely.
[00:33.10]The first thing they should do
[00:34.53]is make a list,
[00:35.91]prioritizing the tasks they need
[00:37.50]to do each week,
[00:38.91]and then do the most important first.
[00:42.43]Then they need work out how much time they
[00:45.38]need for each task and they must be realistic².
[00:48.39]They should challenge³ themselves
[00:50.06]but not set unrealistic goals.

[00:52.65]Finally, it is essential⁴ to make time
[00:54.86]for seeing friends,
[00:56.16]relaxing and getting enough sleep.
[00:58.52]These are just as important as studying
[01:00.92]and if students are healthy and happy,
[01:03.17]they'll study better.
[01:04.77]Well, thank you ladies,for you wise words!
[01:06.40]
