Passage 1

The school year has begun and it’s easy to be frightened by so much schoolwork. Although it may seem painful to sit down and make a study plan, it really can take away a lot of stress. Here are some tips on making a plan that you can follow:

A timetable will help you see how you spend your time every day. For a one- week period, take notes of your daily activities. Record things like when you are at work, school, or home with family. This way you can find days and times that can be devoted to studying.

Set priorities. First find out areas in which you’re strong and others in which you

need more efforts. Then arrange your time accordingly.

Find your goals for each learning period, and develop a plan that can help you achieve those goals. Take into consideration tests, papers, and projects that will take more time than others.

Be flexible. When exams are close, cut time on parties, cinemas, etc., so that you

can pay more attention to study.

If you can, find time for study by yourself and time for study with friends. Try to choose those who can spend time together with you and those who can help you with your weak subjects.

One way to make you follow your plan is to find time for extracurricular activities, such as exercises, hobbies, and joining school clubs. When you are studying, remember to take breaks so that you won’t get bored. After some rest, you will get your min d more active for study.

Passage 2

If you are still a student, your financial picture is much different from someone in the workforce. You have not yet started making real money, and your focus is mainly on studies and having fun. However, it is important for you to manage money now because the mistakes you make in college can follow you throughout the rest of your life. Here are three pieces of advice you may want to hear.

1. Budgeting in College

You should create a budget, now. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun at all, but plan it in your budget. You do not need to get the latest cell phones, computers and clothes to have a good time. These things can come after you have your first real job. Set limits on all of your spending categories and stick to them, then you will start out on a great path and form good spending habits.

2. Credit Cards

You do not need a credit card to make it through college. Credit card companies work hard to get college students to sign up. They want to create customer loyalty. It is also common for students to spend more than they can afford before they really understand all what a credit card means. You should be living on a budget and any money that you put on your credit card should be taken from the budget. This will help you to pay off your card in full each month.

3. Working in College

There are many advantages to working while you are in college. Above all, finding a good college job will make it easier to manage your money. You may also benefit from the employee benefits offered by your company. Then, with a college job, you can gain work experience while at school. It will look great when you begin to apply for jobs. You can choose to only work during the summers so you can focus on studies during the schooldays. You may also take an internship. Your work experience can help you to move from college to work.

6. Why is it important for a student to manage money in college according to the author?

A. Because it is a course.

B. Because the mistakes you make will follow you throughout the rest of your life.

C. Because students are poor.
