Task 1. Read the blog post and fill the gaps. Posted 2 hours ago by Amy
I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget to do it. Me,
on the other hand, … OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself organised!
But lately I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when
it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.
So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organised? Post a comment below. I’m hoping
we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills.

Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop
on my computer. I make a backup of important documents. I delete things I don’t need any more
and put everything into the correct folder.
Amy Nice tip, Hana. I think it’s a good idea to do a little bit of tidying up every day. Then it becomes a
habit and your desktop is always organised.

The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until
the night before! That’s just common sense, I think.
Amy
Thanks, Gloria! I agree.

Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divided into different sections. I’ve
got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a section for each school subject and another one for other stuff.
I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I
remove something from the board!
Amy
Great tip, Lou. I’ve got a cork board with pins. I use it in the same way.
Read the text again and fill the gaps.

she forgets. Hana thinks it's important to keep your computer 4 clean and tidy.
She deletes things she doesn’t need and puts her work into separate 5 . Gloria
says it's important to start studying in plenty of time and not to leave things until the night

Thank you for the letter. I'm writing to tell you about animals at our zoo.
I go to the zoo every summer. I can see a lot of animals there. There are lots of different kinds of animals. There are African savannah animals, like lions or giraffes in the east of the zoo, they usually sleep or eat in the zoo, because they are very tired of humans. The absolute opposite of them, Arctic and Antarctic animals in the west. For example, there are some penguins and polar bears. They don't like sunny weather, so they often become ill in the summer. So, just swim in the cold water or lay in the aviary. What animals do you have at your town's zoo? I hope to see them as soon as possible!
I have to go. Write back soon.
Love,
