Part 1

Plan/schedule

1. Why is it that some people don’t make plans?

答案:

Some people prefer not to make plans because they enjoy the freedom of spontaneity. They feel that having a flexible schedule allows them to seize opportunities as they arise. For instance, I have a friend who often decides on weekend activities at the last minute, which leads to some exciting adventures. This approach makes life feel more vibrant and less routine.


助记: plans, spontaneity, flexible, seize opportunities, exciting, vibrant, routine

有些人不喜欢制定计划,因为他们享受随性的自由。他们觉得拥有一个灵活的日程可以让他们抓住出现的机会。例如,我有一个朋友经常在最后一刻决定周末的活动,这导致了一些刺激的冒险。这种方法让生活感觉更加生动,而不是单调的。
