Swift, a famous English writer, was travelling one day on horseback with his servant. The weather was bad, it was raining, and the roads were muddy. In the evening the two men came to an inn. Before going to bed Swift told his servant to clean his boots. But the servant was lazy and did not do it. In the morning Swift asked the servant why he had not cleaned the boots. "What's the use of cleaning the boots now?"said the servant. "The roads are muddy, and the boots will soon be dirty again." "All right,"said the writer. "Let's go. We must continue the journey." "But I haven't had breakfast," said the displeased servant." "Well, what's the use of giving you breakfast now?" said Swift: "You will soon be hungry again."

I'm in the first year at the university, where I'm studying English. My elder sister, Betty, is studying history at the same university. Betty can organise her time wisely, whereas I do not know what order I should do things in.
My sister, an early riser, is awake by 7 o'clock, refreshed and full of energy. While I'm wandering round the kitchen, fighting the urge to go back to bed.\At lunchtime I meet up with my sister and we have a snack at the university cafe. After classes I make myself go to the library where I spend about six hours a week reading for my seminars.
My sister and I come home tired. I always find excuses to put my homework off.
We try to relax on the weekends. One of my greatest pleasures is to lie in bed and read my favourite books.
<span>Every Monday when I awaken I think I should start a new life. I honestly think that I must become well-organised and correct my daily routine.But then I put off my plans till next Monday. It is always better to start a new life in a week.</span>
