READING

1. Work in pairs. Discuss the following question.

How is a well-balanced life important for students?

Answer:

A well-balanced life is crucial for students for several reasons. Firstly, it helps in maintaining good physical health. Balancing academic demands with regular exercise and healthy eating habits ensures students have the energy and stamina needed to excel in their studies. Additionally, mental health is equally important. Taking breaks, engaging in hobbies, and spending time with friends and family can alleviate stress and prevent burnout. Moreover, a balanced life fosters emotional well-being, providing students with the resilience and coping mechanisms to navigate challenges effectively. It also encourages personal growth and development by allowing students to explore diverse interests and passions outside of academics. Ultimately, a well-balanced life enhances overall academic performance, promotes holistic well-being, and prepares students for success in both their academic and personal lives.

2. The following text is about how a successful teen celebrity kept a well-balanced life when he was at school. Read the text and match each highlighted word with its meaning.

Firstly, I managed my time properly. I started to plan my schedule, made a weekly work list and gave priority to some of my work. This helped me concentrate my efforts on my most important tasks.

In addition, I communicated with my family, friends, and teachers about my busy schedule and problems, so they would offer me additional support.

I also took breaks appropriately because they helped me keep away from stress and anxiety and gave my brain a rest and improved my mood.

Finally, I looked after my physical health. I got at least eight hours of sleep a day. I played football with my classmates twice a week and went for a walk with my grandparents early every morning. Besides, I also tried to follow a healthy diet. I ate a lot of fruit and vegetables. I ate little fattening foods and avoided junk foods like chips, cookies, pizza, etc.

Answer:

1 – c. anxiety: the state of feeling nervous or worried that something bad is going to happen

Answer:

Most of the students asked often create and follow a schedule or to-do list to manage their time efficiently.

Fewer of the students surveyed use productivity tools or techniques to enhance their time management skills.
