same,i.e.managing time wisely.By learning the text,students will come to know the importance of managing time wisely.Time is as precious as gold.We should appreciate every moment we have and remember that time waits for no one.However,not all of us have realized that.Time seems to work better for some people,but not for all.Weve always heard the complaints that there isnt enough time in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done.In the text,a professor conducts an experiment which tells us that we should give priority to the things that are crucial to us and spend less time on the minor stuff.TextStructureText ABeginning(paras 1-2)Basic information about the _:1)The speaker:an old professor 2)The _:“Efficient Time Management”3)The audience:a group of _Body(paras3-11)1(paras
