9 B2 | 7. Klasse | Unit 01: Ready to rumble getting (9) dist (inattentive) the way I used to before I learned to do this: once I make up my mind to do something now, I also finish it. Bullet point: Function word: analyse / describe / speculate 4 I think lots of students procrastinate because their workload is (10) overw (too much): there is always homework to do, there are presentations to prepare and tests to study for. When you feel as if you aren’t in (11) con (in charge) and you’ll never get everything done anyway, sometimes you don’t even want to start. So, you do something fun like playing games on your phone and (12) p (postpone) the hard work until later. Of course, that means that you panic later on when you run out of time. Bullet point: Function word: analyse / describe / speculate Writing tip Pay attention to the function words in the prompt. They tell you how you should organise your thoughts in your text, for example: analyse – you should explain something in a logical way describe – you should give details that show your reader what you mean speculate – you should share your thoughts and theories about something In addition to three content paragraphs (one for each bullet point), a blog post or comment needs an introduction and a conclusion. Which of these introductory paragraphs and closing statements work better for a blog? Why? Introduction: (1) I love your post, Gerry, and I totally agree with you! I feel better because I am not the only procrastinator here. Of course, lots of students procrastinate … (2) In the following text, I would like to state my opinion on the topic of procrastination among secondary school students and offer several solutions for this problem. Closing statements: (1) I’m sure that with a little bit of help and encouragement, we could all stop procrastinating. Fingers crossed! (2) It should be mentioned that meditation and mindfulness often work for students. 8 Put together the complete blog posts from the different elements (three content paragraphs, introduction, conclusion) in tasks 7 and 8.
