 Hey, Roland. Have you started preparing for the math test?
Roland
 Not really. I’ll study the night before.
Harry
 Don’t you think it’s better to start at least five days earlier?
Roland
 I get that, but cramming works best for me. It helps me remember things better. Plus, I don’t want to lose sleep over several nights.
Harry
 I see, but I prefer studying little by little. It keeps the lessons fresh in my mind and helps me feel more organized.
Roland
 That makes sense, but I like taking notes first and then reviewing everything in one go. It keeps me focused.

 That’s true. In the end, giving full attention while studying is the most important thing.

 Good luck!
