 Why Do We Use Time-management Skills?
 It is important that you develop effective strategies for managing your time to balance the conflicting 
demands of time for study, leisure, and work. Time-management skills are valuable not only in job-
hunting, but also in many other aspects of life: from revising for examinations to working in a vacation 
job.
 Sometimes it may seem that there isn't enough time to do everything that you need to. This can lead 
to a build-up of stress. When revising for examinations, or during your final year when you have to 
combine the pressures of intensive study with finding time to apply for jobs, good management of your 
time can be particularly important. Once we have identified ways in which we can improve the 
management of our time, we can begin to adjust our routines and patterns of behaviour to reduce any 
time-related stress in our lives.
 Some of these skills include setting clear goals, breaking your goals down into several steps, and 
reviewing your progress towards your goals.
 Other skills involved include prioritising - focusing on urgent and important tasks rather than those 
that are trivial or don't move you towards your goals; organising your work schedule; list making to 
remind you of what you need to do.
Task 1. Read the text and select the statement that expresses its main idea.
A. Priority makes us have time-management skills and focus on urgent and important tasks.
B. Time-management skills help us do better in study and work and enjoy life more.
C. Good skills to deal with work may help you a lot in job-hunting after graduation.
Task 2. Read the text again, and then decide whether the statements are true (T), false (F) or not 
given (NG).
1. Time-management skills help us to balance our time between study, leisure, and work. ____
2. Time-management skills also bring more productivity in our work. ____
3. When we have good time management, we can reduce stress in our lives. ____
4. We should focus on achieving our goals, and spending time checking progress is wasteful. ____
5. Priority requires us to do trivial tasks first. ____

3. How can we reduce any time-related stress in our lives? V. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
 An important part of being an adult in the USA is becoming more independent from your parents. 
First, make sure you are living somewhere rather than your parents' house. If your parents own the 
property in which you live, they will have a say in how you maintain that property. If you want to be 
independent and make your own decisions about how you live, you will need to obtain your own housing 
that is completely separate from your parents both physically and financially.
 Second, generate your own income and be as financially self-sufficient as possible. One of the main 
challenges in becoming independent as an adult is acquiring a sufficient income to allow you to live 
without the financial assistance of your parents. This can be particularly difficult if you are still a 
university student, but it is not impossible. Seek scholarships and part- time jobs. If you are no longer a 
student, find employment that offers a salary that can cover your expenses. It may be necessary to obtain 
multiple sources of income in order to become financially self-sufficient and independent from your 
parents.
 Next, budget your expenses carefully. When first becoming financially independent, it may be 
necessary to cut back on some of your expenses and strictly stick to a budget. Determine exactly what 
you can afford in terms of rent, food, clothing, transportation and entertainment based on your own 
income, create a budget. While you may experience a dip in your standard of living at first, learning how 
to follow a budget and be self-sufficient will help you stay independent.
 Finally, avoid relying on your parents as a first resort option for help of any kind. This, in no way, 
means that you may never ask your parents for help again, it just means that as an independent adult, 
there should be other sources of support within your life that you can turn to when necessary.

 A. you learn how to set a budget that increases your standard of living

 D. you have to plan a reasonable budget and obey it strictly
4. If you want to be entirely independent as an adult, __________ .

VII. Read the text, and do the tasks that follow.
Every year 30,000 young people in the UK can learn what it is like to run their own business before 
leaving school. These 15-19 years olds take part in a scheme called Young Enterprise. It is organized by 
the UK’s largest business education charity, which was founded in 1962.
Young Enterprise’s objective is ‘to inspire and equip young people to learn and succeed through 
enterprise.’ Under the guidance of business mentors, who are volunteers from some of the country’s 
most well-known companies, each Young Enterprise group runs its own real company for a year.
It is up to the group to name the company, assign roles like managing director, marketing manager and 
accountant, decide on a product or service, work out how to finance and market it, and finally sell it. A 
year later, the business is closed, hopefully with a profit.
Young Enterprise gives its participants the opportunity to develop valuable skills such as 
communication, teamwork and decision-making. It also gives them an understanding of how a real 
business works. They will be able to use this knowledge and experience in the future.
Young Enterprise sounds like a good thing, doesn’t it? But does it really work? According to research 
in 2012, if you take part in Young Enterprise at school, you’ll be:
 • almost twice as likely to have your own business and employ people
 • more likely to have higher earnings
 • more likely to be successful in your career
 • more likely to be innovative and high-tech
So, if you could join a Young Enterprise group in your school, would you?
