So today, I'm going to talk about procrastination.

I imagine that this is a relevant topic for a lot of you because many people have a tendency to procrastinate.

So what is procrastination?

Well this refers to the action of delaying your work until a later time.

For example, let's pretend that you have a task that you're expected to complete by Friday.

Procrastinating on this task might mean that you start working on it on Thursday.

You postpone or put off this work until a later time instead of doing it earlier.

This habit is widespread.

procrastinate at school, at work,

and in their personal life.

And for the most part,

procrastination isn't necessarily a good thing.

Let's talk about some of the ways that procrastination can creep into our lives,

and we'll talk about how we can kick this habit.

Alright, first let's talk about procrastination when it comes to school.

In my experience, I find that the vast majority of students put off their assignments,

projects, and preparation until the last minute.

For example, when a teacher would assign an essay that was due the following week,

my classmates wouldn't even begin until the night before.

They would pull an all-nighter as we say in English and try to do it all in one go.

In this area, I can honestly say that I never procrastinated,

but I was practically the only one.

When I was given an essay to write,

I would split the work up evenly and write a little bit each day.

Let's say I had 7 days to write an essay and the essay was supposed to be 10 pages long.

What I would do is divide 7 by 10,

which is 0.7, and I would use that as the metric to know how much I needed to write each day.

I'd write 0.7 pages each day and then by the 10th day,

I'd have my essay finished.

Instead of cramming all my work into one day,

I'd space it out in a way that felt much more manageable.

I never stressed out about having to do a ton of writing on the last day.

This is one technique that you can employ in your own studies.

Try to do an equal amount of work each day,

and then you won't have to work against the clock to try to get your whole assignment

or studying done in one night.

Now let's talk about procrastination when it comes to work.

There's a common tendency to put off undesirable tasks until later.

While in the moment that might seem okay,

later on you often end up regretting that decision.

For me personally, when I put off an important task until later,

I often dwell on the fact that I haven't finished it yet

and I dread having to do it at a later time.

In other words, I don't even get to enjoy the time

that I spend not doing the task because I'm thinking about the fact that I still have to do it later.

I'm sure some of you have experienced this as well.

In my opinion, the best way to avoid procrastinating in this way is to do your most important

or difficult task first thing in the morning.

This is an important concept that can really change your life.

Suffer now so you can enjoy yourself later.

It takes a lot of discipline

and willpower to commit yourself to doing the hardest task first

but after you finish it the rest of the day is smooth sailing.

Alright, lastly let's talk about procrastination in your personal life.

Maybe you have some goals you want to achieve

or things you want to do in life but you never actually get around to doing them.

Well, one thing you can do to change this is to be more specific with your goals.

For example, instead of having the goal to get good at English as soon as possible,

make your goal measurable.

How about, be able to hold a conversation with the native English speaker by the end of the year.

This goal is actually something you can visualize, measure, and accomplish.

Don't be vague with your goals.

In this way, you can actually plan and take steps towards this concrete objective.

Okay, now I'm going to ask you three questions about today's video.

Write your answers in a comment down below.

Number one, what is procrastination?

Number two, what's one way to avoid procrastinating at work?

And number three, how can you improve your personal goals?

FOR YOU

為何要通過這個影片練習口語？

在這段影片中，您將能夠提高您的英語聽力和理解能力，同時也有機會練習口語表達。通過“看YouTube學英語”，您可以感受真實的對話場景，幫助您更好地掌握英語口語練習的技巧。此外，您可以嘗試跟隨影片中的對話內容，通過反覆練習，加強您在日常交流中的流利度。

語法和表達在語境中

在這段影片中，講者介紹了關於拖延症（procrastination）的概念，並通過以下幾點表達其中的語法結構：

I imagine that... – 這個句型常用於表達個人的看法和猜測，可以幫助您在對話中插入自己的觀點。
Instead of doing... – 這個結構能夠讓您談論替代性選擇，非常適合在日常交流中提出不同的建議。
It might mean that... – 這種表達方式用來說明某種情況的可能性，能夠幫助您討論不確定性。
For example... – 通過提供例項，您可以讓您的表達更加生動有趣，也能幫助聽眾更好地理解您的觀點。

以上結構在雅思口語練習中也非常有用，可以增加您表達的豐富性。

常見的發音陷阱

在影片中，有幾個單詞和短語可能會給非母語者帶來發音上的挑戰：

Procrastination – 注意重音的放置，發音時要清晰區分每個音節。
Assignments – 該詞的連讀可能讓發音變得困難，建議多次練習以增強流利度。
Pull an all-nighter – 這個習語在英語中常用，但其發音與書寫形式略有不同，需加以注意。

通過“英語影子跟讀”或“shadowing site”，您可以模仿影片中的發音，幫助您提高語音的準確性與流利度，從而有效應用於實際交流中。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	haven't finished · have experienced
動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞	start working · avoid procrastinating
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事	might mean · might seem
最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的	the best · the hardest

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
