Minh's Busy Week
Minh has a very busy schedule this week. He has a deadline for his English project on Friday, so he made a to-do list to organize his tasks. Every morning, he checks his calendar and sets an alarm to remind himself of important meetings. His teacher told him, "You should focus on one task at a time and take a short break every hour." Minh tries not to waste time on his phone, because notifications distract him easily. Sometimes he still delays things and has to burn the midnight oil to finish on time. But this week, he built a new morning routine, and he feels much more efficient. His new goal is simple: stop working against the clock and enjoy his free time instead.

Questions:

• 1. Why did Minh make a to-do list?
• 2. What does Minh's teacher advise him to do?
• 3. What is Minh's new goal?
