After learning French for a number of years I decided it was high time I took an exam. I didn't want to put off revising for the exam till the last moment, so I prepared a great study schedule. I was going to learn a bit every day. It worked well at the beginning. After lunch, I would go to my room and study for about two hours. It all went wrong one day when I needed to use an online dictionary. Having gone online, I saw some new messages from my friends, replied to them, watched a few videos and, before I knew it, it was dinnertime. In the end, I did very little revising and I failed the exam. Going online while studying is not always a good idea! Recently my dad has shown me an application which he uses to manage his time at work. It simply blocks access to Facebook and other pages. If only I had discovered it before! Maybe I'd have passed the exam and wouldn't have to retake it now!
