advance time management
Most students at present follow what their parents and teachers ask them to do.
This situation leads them to just follow the instructions from their parents and teachers,
which may cause them to lack the ability to organize their own lives.
However, if students have the opportunity to ___,
they can master some key skills relating to time management,
such as organization, prioritization, goal-setting, and delegation.
As a result, students can manage their time more skilfully
and therefore plan their tasks in advance and stick to deadlines.
Thus, they can keep all their work more organized and efficient.
Take one of my best friend Simon as a compelling example.
When he was a freshman in the university some years ago,
he found that he was confronted with many learning tasks every week,
which made his schedule very hectic and often caused him to run out of time for deadlines.
However, when he ___ at the second semester,
he learnt how to set short and long-term goals rationally,
how to prioritize the most important tasks, and how to postpone the less important tasks.
All these skills helped him handle with his learning more efficiently.
In contrast, if he had not engaged in ___,
he would not have achieved academic success during his university life.
