I’d like to talk about my older sister Achieng, who lives in Kisumu. She works as a pharmacist in a hospital and she’s also studying for a master’s degree in the evenings, so her days are extremely busy. To stay organised she uses a paper planner and a calendar on her phone, and every night she packs her bag and lays out her clothes for the next day. On Sunday evening she sits down for ten minutes and plans the whole week. She also sets reminders on her phone for small things like paying bills or calling our parents. I notice this most when our family organises something together. Last year our mother turned sixty, and Achieng put the guest list, the food and the transport on one page, so everything went smoothly on the dayАлдыңкы иш-аракет менен так байланышкан натыйжа сүйлөмү. I also see it in the way she studies: her notes are colour-coded and she knows exactly what she’ll revise on every dayПредлог катасы: «revise each day» же «on each day» болушу керек. Her friends sometimes tease her for always arriving early, but she doesn’t mind. Being organised matters to her because in a pharmacy a small mistake with a doseТак, теманы камтыган зат атооч айкашы could seriously harm a patient. It also means she hardly ever has to panicСебепке кайтуучу табигый байланыш when she’s tired. When I asked her how she does it, she said that a plan takes ten minutes but saves her hours. Honestly, I’m not like her, I usually leave things until the last minute, so she’s a real example for me of how much calmer life can be.

Band 8

I’d like to talk about my older sister Achieng, who lives in Kisumu and is easily the most organised person I know. She works as a pharmacist in a hospital and is studying part time for a master’s degree, so her days are tightly packed. To keep on top of everything she uses a paper planner and a phone calendar, and every night she packs her bag and lays out her clothes for the following day. Every Sunday evening she sits down for ten minutes and maps out the whole week. She even sets phone reminders for small things such as paying bills or calling our parents. I notice this most whenever the family organises something together. When our mother turned sixty, Achieng put the guest list, the food and the transport on a single page, and nothing went wrong on the day, whereas I would probably have forgotten the cakeЖеке өзгөчөлүк кошкон conditional менен каршы коюучу сүйлөм. I also see it in the way she studies: her notes are colour-coded and she knows exactly what she’ll revise each day. Her friends tease her for turning up early everywhereТак мааниси бар табигый, бейрасмий phrasal verb, yet she takes it as a compliment. Being organised matters to her because in a pharmacy a small mistake with a doseТак, теманы камтыган зат атооч айкашы could seriously harm a patient, and being methodical is part of being responsibleАдатты мүнөз менен байланыштырган абстракттуу байланыш. It also spares her the panic that comes from rushingЖеке пайданы түшүндүргөн табигый, ийкемдүү түшүндүрмө. When I once asked her how she does it, she laughed and said that a plan takes ten minutes but saves hours. Honestly, I find it both inspiring and slightly intimidating, and I’m slowly borrowing a few of her habits.
