Question

Work in pairs and compare your ideas. Do you think each speaker manages their time well? Why? / Why not?

Answer

The suggestion is that Martin and Rachel’s mother organise their time quite well. Martin has a lot to do and seems to be planning ahead. Tula and Rachel do not organise their time well: they leave things to the last minute, get distracted by others, forget things; Rachel wastes time watching TV.
