TASK
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Because modern life is very complex, it is essential for young people to have the ability to plan and organize.
TASK FOCUS modern life, complex, essential, young people, plan and organize DISCUSSION. Agree: 1. Young people today may confront with multiple choices and complicated situations about their life, such as colleges, employment and marriage. The ability of planning and organizing in advance will guide them to make wise choices in significant turning points in their life, thus they will go smoothly in future. 2. Youth is the best time of a person's life. If they master the ability to plan and organize, they will save much of their best time to fulfill the wish of making a difference and achieving accomplishment in their life, which is likely spent on mistakes and trials for suitable directions if without any plan and organization. Disagree: 1. Modern life is complex since the unexpected changes may happen all the time. The ability to plan and organize could not guarantee the situations we may face become easier and simpler. 2. As the young people in a modern society, the most important quality for them is to embrace the unknown world even if they are frustrated by reality many times. To plan and organize like a sophisticated adult will not excite the young life and add joy to life experiences. Step-by-step life may seem to be less risky but lacks creativity and vitality.
TEST TAKER'S TASK RESPONSE.
Nowadays with the rapid development of science and technology, the world is filled with diversity and our daily life becomes more and more complex and colorful. From my perspective, it is crucially important for people to lead a wonderful life with the ability to plan and organize. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, since young people are more likely to confront with multiple choices and complicated situations in this fast-changing world, the ability to plan and organize will help them to separate useful information from others which might be nonsense in some essential occasion. As an undergraduate student, I have many choices after graduation, such as going to work, further study domestic or overseas… And for each choice there are lots of things to prepare and enormous information to get to know. As I had already planned, I decided to study overseas and now I only concentrate on part of the information about this and do not need to prepare for other choices, which greatly enhance my efficiency and allows me to do better.
The other reason is that with the ability to plan and organize, people will become more efficient and rational when dealing with some sophisticated conditions, which will help them to gain great amount of competitivity. It is a welcomed characteristic being calm when facing sudden changes, which is often seen in this fast-changing world. When I was travelling this summer vacation with a tour group, we are asked to get tested every 48 hours to confirm that we are not infected by COVID-19. One day due to the long car ride, our test reports are overdue and we were facing the risk that we would not be allowed to settle down that night. However, the guide rearranged the timetable, setting aside a period of time to take us to get tested. Thanks to her ability to plan and organize, our trip went on as usual, and she is highly praised for how she had done to deal with the sudden changes.
In conclusion, I cannot agree more that it is crucially important for people to lead a wonderful life with the ability to plan and organize, since it can help us get the best choice and react smartly when facing emergency.
