Many people often lose their chance to live life to the fullest because of procrastination (延迟，拖延), which means that they always delay (使延迟) doing
something that must be done at once. Moreover, because they often put off their plans till “tomorrow”, they are less likely to achieve their goals and will give up their dreams and goals finally. As a result，we can say that procrastination is the enemy of a
progressive lifestyle.
Now that we know procrastination is something bad, why do some people not take immediate action? Well, there are some things that result in procrastination. Depending on someone else rather than doing by oneself is one of the things. Whenever you wait for something to happen before you act, you make it easier to
delay your goals and dreams until “someday”. Another cause of procrastination is that people do not value each moment in their day. Actually, it’s surprising how much you
can do if you just decide to do little things with the little time you have. Also those who often procrastinate can always find a good reason for something they refuse to do at once.
If you are one of those who often delay, then it’s time for you to make a decision to act now because things happen only when we decide to act. Get down to doing something like losing weight, saving money or spending more time with family.
Don’t let these things continue to be a desire for you to do “someday”, but make a
decision to do it at once.
Once you have made your decision, write down the plan and take action immediately. Making plans can help you think carefully about how you are going to do what you need to do. After understanding how to do what you want to do, get doing with the plan. It doesn’t matter how small the move you make is as the little
things you do accumulate (累积) over time and move you to be closer to your goals.
So, don’t wait until tomorrow; instead, start now! Just make use of every moment you have to do something that is helpful in realizing your dreams and goals.
Here is a challenge that will also move you to be closer to your dreams and goals
if taken seriously. Make a list of ten things you have been putting off. It could be anything from getting a health examination, calling a friend or family member, to getting the car fixed and cleaning up the garbage, etc. And then try to develop the habit of doing them immediately!

Now young people use abbreviations (缩写) all the time. Are they lazy or is it a must?
We asked 50 young people about the abbreviations they used and why they used them. Most of them said they used abbreviations when they were chatting online or sending SMS messages to each other. Oops! There is an abbreviation already! SMS is Short Message Service or a text message on a mobile phone.
Of course, abbreviations make it possible for us to send more information in a shorter message or write a message more quickly because we do not have to type ( 打字) a whole word. Some of the most often used abbreviations are “How r u?” (How are you?), “B4” (before) and “H2CUS” (hope to see you soon). You may have noticed that these abbreviations use a letter or number to create (创造)the sound of the word it is replacing (替换). In these examples, “r” is used to replace the word “are” and “2” is used to replace the word “to”.
However, not all abbreviations use a letter or number to replace a word that has a similar sound For example, “AML” means “all my love” and “BRB” means “be right back”.
Maybe the number of abbreviations we use in chatting and in sending SMS messages is growing quickly because there are simply more abbreviations being used in the world around us. Take computers as an example. If you go into a shop and ask
for a Compact Disc Read Only Memory, the shopkeeper will probably not understand and look at you strangely. That is why you would ask for a CD-ROM.
With all of these abbreviations being used, what is happening to the English language? Some people say that they do not enjoy chat rooms because they do not understand what is being said, even feeling like being in a foreign country. Others feel
that these changes show our language is alive and evolving (逐步发展的). Whichever

You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. However, you may not really understand how to achieve it.
As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for fun to begin with. As you go through the work, think about whether or not it is “easy” reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget about the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These
situations may be a chance to learn from the writers mistakes. In fact, the reader
should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing”... he should be able to just enjoy and learn.
Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books is to pick a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer (消费者) rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic (基本的) level, however, nothing is more
suitable than your love for reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book’s worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺).
As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Choose authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.

Titles
Improve your writing by reading

Facts
Reading good writing 71 you become a good writer.
However, 72 you don’t really understand how to achieve it.

73
To 74 with, read not to learn but for fun.
Develop a great 75 in the subject and flow of the writing. Learn from the writer’s mistakes if 76 .
Read as a common consumer 77 of a critic.
Be fond of reading poems and enjoy the lines.

Conclusions
Don’t make yourself 78 with reading.
Choose your 79 authors and enjoy their works. You are sure to make yourself 80 at writing.
