基础英语 C 综合教程 Book 3 Unit 2 9 Organize yourselves into groups of five or six and discuss the following issue. Do you think the world is partly created by lazy people? Organize yourselves into groups of five or six and discuss the following issue: In view of time management, do you think efficiency is the best description of good time management? What is the relationship between efficiency and effectiveness? Which is more important? Writing practice Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic: Time Sample writing : Time flies so fast that we waste time without knowing it. Time is beyond our control. No matter how badly we want to hold it back, it just flies away. Time is a thing we can neither see nor touch. So when we realize that we have wasted our time, it is already too late. Although we can’t prevent time from slipping off, we can save it. In other words, we can do more things in a certain period of time; by doing more, we are making good use of our time. One of the motivations for our inventors is that inventions can improve our work efficiently and save time. Many people treasure time, thinking that time means money and that nothing can be more precious than time. For example, promptness is valued highly in American life. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. If a person is five minutes late, he is expected to make a short apology. Now it suddenly occurred to me that I have to offer an apology for having wasted a lot of my readers’ time. I really think that their time can be better employed doing something else rather than reading my opinion
