1. Lesson 1
It’s late at night, and it’s time that I 1 my homework. However, I feel sleepy
as I see the English assignment. I should write an introductory paragraph for an essay
on one of the five selected topics. I try to 2 some thought to the topics, but my mind
keeps wandering to the mosquito bites on my leg. 3 , I realize that in a few hours, I
will be sitting in English class, and I haven’t even started on my paragraph yet. This is
what always happens to me. My time is always running out. Because of my
procrastination, I have wasted a great
4
of time. Well goes the saying,
“Procrastination is the thief of time.” I spend a lot of time 5 excuses. I put off my
assignments in many ways. For example, I might watch a television show 6 for a
four-year-old. What’s worse, the more rushed I am, the more irrational I become. Sadly,
time never stops for procrastinators like me. While 7 students diligently do their
homework for that day, I diligently do my homework from the night before, or even
from a week earlier. Instead of 8 , I always feel that I am at the bottom of a pit,
trying to climb out. Catching up on my work is almost impossible. I can never
9
live in the present. Procrastination continues to rob me of time. I hope I will grasp the
concepts of organization and promptness soon, 10 I will be doomed to a life in the
procrastinator’s prison that I have built for myself.
