Read the text then do the tasks below:
Do you sometimes feel that you’re wasting a lot of your time and not getting enough done? Don’t
worry – you’re not alone. Most of us fail to manage our time effectively. There are lots of books
about time management on the market, but you don’t need to waste time (and money) reading
them. Here are some tried and tested tips for getting things done.
Tip 1: _____________________________
It’s so easy to make excuses and find ways to avoid the thing you know you should be doing. Experts
advise us to break this habit by becoming aware of our own excuses. The ‘right time’ to do something
never arrives: the best time to do something is usually now. Once you’ve got started, you’ll probably
find that it wasn’t as hard as you thought.
Tip 2: _____________________________
It’s important to make yourself a ‘to do’ list or exam revision timetable, but remember that listing things
isn’t the same as doing them. Once you’ve worked out what needs to be done, decide which tasks have
the highest priority and which can be left till later.
Tip 3: Keep going.
It’s inevitable that things don’t always go as well as you expect them to. If you find that you’ve ‘hit a
wall’, there are two things you can do. First, persevere: with a bit more effort, you may find that you
break through the wall. But if that doesn’t work, try having a (short) break. Do something completely
different, and come back to the task.
Tip 4: _____________________________
Even if you’re under stress, there’s no point making yourself ill – that will just make the pressure worse.
Make sure you remember to eat regularly and healthily, and, even though it may be hard, try to get
enough sleep.
Tip 5: _____________________________
You can’t always make your brain work ‘on demand’. Don’t spend too long on one task, and learn to
recognise when you’re slowing down. Divide large tasks into smaller parts that are easier to manage,
and reward yourself for completing them by doing something fun.

Read the text about (My dream job) and do the tasks below:
Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of becoming a travel photographer. At first, it was only a
fantasy, but later I revealed this dream to my family and friends. They were surprised but supportive. I
love exploring new places, meeting people, and capturing moments through my camera.
This passion started when I got my first camera as a birthday gift. From that day, I knew I wanted
to turn this hobby into a real career. Traveling allows me to learn about different cultures and traditions.
Some people say this job does not offer much job security, but for me, the joy and passion outweigh
the risks. I believe that doing something you love is more important than choosing a career only for
money. Of course, I also need to make a living, and I plan to sell my photos and work with travel
magazines.
In the world of work, there are many safe choices, but I choose a path that makes me happy. I want
my pictures to inspire others to see the beauty of the world. My dream job is not just work; it is a way
of life.
