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

Charles
 Hey, Rica. Are you busy?
Rica
 Hmm… Yeah, a little.
Charles
 I see you’re still playing on your smartphone. It’s been hours! Maybe you should take a break.
Rica
 It’s how I relax. I don’t think it’s a problem.
Charles
 But you’ve been using it for too long! Your eyes and fingers must be tired by now.
Rica
 I think playing for five hours straight is not bad.
Charles
 But don’t you have other things to do? Have you finished your chores?
Rica
 I know, but I’ve had a tough day. Adding an hour to my smartphone usage won’t hurt.
Charles
 It can become a bad habit, though. It’s important to balance your time.
Rica
 I guess you’re right. Maybe I’ll take a short break.
