Activity 2 | Article

Directions: Read the article aloud with your teacher.

Time
Time is probably one of the most important things in our life. Time is measured through hours,
minutes, and seconds. There are lots of ways that we can use and define the word time. This
word can be used to represent morning, noon or night. It is also used to state an indefinite
continuous development of presence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a
whole.
Time matters a lot. For students and workers, deadlines and schedules are all set for them to
keep track of time and ensure that objectives can be reached at a certain time. When a person
is ill or dying, he or she needs to battle for time. The existence of time gives us the opportunity
to put importance on the activities that we are going to do and decisions that we are going to
make. We need to prudently choose as to how, when, where, whom with we spend our time.
A tremendous impact will be brought upon us if we end up being deprived of time. Time is the
equivalent of life, and every single time that was spent for something irrelevant is like spending
our life for nothing. Therefore lets make our life count and spend our time wisely.
