关于时间管理的英语演讲

Dear teacher and colleagues: my topic is on “spare time”.

It is a huge blessing that we can work 996. Jack Ma said at an Ali's internal communication activity, That means we should work at 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week .I question the entire premise of this piece. but I'm always interested in hearing what successful and especially rich people come up with time .So I finally found out Jack Ma also had said :”i f you don’t put out more time and energy than others ,how can you achieve the success you want? If you do not do 996 when you are young ,when will you ?”I quite agree with the idea that young people should fight for success .But there are a lot of survival activities to do in a day ,I want to focus on how much time they take from us and what can we do with the rest of the time.

As all we known ,There are 168 hours in a week .We sleep roughly seven-and-a-half and eight hours a day .so around 56 hours a week . maybe it is slightly different for someone . We do our personal things like eating and bathing and maybe looking after kids -about three hours a day .so around 21 hours a week .And if you are working a full time job ,so 40 hours a week , Oh! Maybe it is impossible for us at

here .Anyway, it is normal we work around 60 hours a week .

We can easily find that at least 31 hours for other things .The space is incredibly important to us. That's the space where we do things that make us individuals .But when most of us have bits of time, what do we do? Pull out the phone ,right? many apps like Tik Tok and WeChat , We spend much time on watching video clips and moments . We never get to the end because they don’t give us a stopping cues . The news feed just rolls on .And now take a moment together and think how our spare time be stolen .

We live in a busy world especially in Shen Zhen . Every time I sort of pushed one down, another one would pop back up again. And I had a questions in my head. is it possible, or even desirable, to do something I really want to do with my own time? if you want to do exercise or do some reading even you are very busy at that day. maybe you could give up your delicious night snack which will take your one hour away or stop playing the game. And you will be surprised to find out that time is highly elastic . We often get the idea that if we save a bit of time here and there, add it up, we will finally get to everything we want to do .But this idea has it completely backward. Because we don't

build the lives we want by saving time. We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.

Above all, we actually have enough time to do things that make us individuals even we have to earn for living at the same time. It depends on what you choose to do .And I also want to share you with the sentence written by Shakespeare as the ending “The man who abandon time will be abandoned.” Thanks for your listening ！
