Dear Mike, These days, I find that I have a growing interest in listening to music. Taylor Swift is my favorite singer. But I' m spending so much time listening to music that I'm having problems with my schoolwork. I have a lot of schoolwork to do these days. What can I do about this problem? Wu Yu |
Dear Wu Yu, It’s nice to hear that you’re spending much time listening to music. I also like to listen to music often, and I even play it myself. I think it's a fine hobby. But how much time do you need to spend listening to music? It’s hard to say. If listening to music is stopping you from finishing your work, then maybe you should listen a little less. Every hobby must be enjoyed in moderation (适度). There is such a thing as“too much of a good thing” . Here's an idea: why not listen to some other kinds of music when you study? It's OK that you can do both at the same time. The key is to choose music that isn’t too distracting (使人分心的)。There are many kinds of quiet music you can enjoy. If you choose it, I think it' s all right to listen to music when studying. Mike |
