Procrastination

Guidance for Reciting

We are always advised that today's work is not to be left until tomorrow in that procrastination is the thief of time.

Remove from your vocabulary phrases like“one of these days”or“someday“;let's write that letter we thought of writing“one of these days”!

Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;every day,every hour,and every minute is special;and you don't know if it will be your last.

Notes

1.remove [ri5mu:v] v. 除去,迁移,开除,移交

2.someday [5sQmdei] ad. 改天,总有一天

拖拖拉拉

诵读导言

我们受到的教育总是“今日事今日毕”,因为拖延即浪费时间。

从你的词汇库中删除所谓的“有那么一天”或者“某一天”;曾打算“有那么一天”去写的信,就在今天吧!

对于任何可以给你的生活带来欢笑与快乐的事情,不要拖延;每一天、每一小时、每一分钟都是那么特别;你无从知道这是否是最后时刻。

口语点津

“今日事今日毕”,说起来简单,做起来难。现在已经是十二月份了,在诵读口语的过程中,你是否因为没有坚持住而出现过偶尔的中断呢?你是否打算非要等到过新年的时候再给自己制订一个宏伟的目标呢?但愿阅读本文会让你摆脱拖拉的作风,立即行动起来!
