A simpler answer

Checked at band 6 · 167 words

I'd like to talk about my older sister, Mei. She works as an accountant at a small company, and she is one of the most organised people I know. She is not strict with other people, but she likes to have a clear plan for herself.

She usually writes her tasks in a notebook every morning. She puts the most important things at the top and checks them when she finishes. She also keeps documents in separate folders on her computer, so she can find them quickly.

I have noticed this at family gatherings and when we travel together. For example, before a trip, she checks the train time, books the hotel and makes a list of things to pack. At home, she remembers birthdays and prepares food before guests arrive.

I think being organised is important to her because her job has many details and deadlines. It helps her avoid mistakes and feel calm. I also think she enjoys knowing what she needs to do next.

Honestly, the most organised person I know is my older sister, Mei, who works as an accountant for a small company. She isn't the sort of person who makes everyone follow her rules; she just feels more comfortable when she knows what needs doing.

Most mornings, she spends a few minutes writing a to-do list in a notebook. She marks the urgent jobs, then crosses them off as she goes, which stops small tasks from slipping her mind. She also saves work files in clearly named folders on her computer, rather than leaving everything on the desktop. It sounds simple, but it means she can find a document almost immediately when a colleague asks for it.

I've noticed this especially when we're travelling or getting ready for a family gathering. Before a trip, she'll check the train time, confirm the hotel, and make a packing list, so we rarely have a last-minute rush. At home, she remembers everyone's birthdays and starts preparing food before guests arrive. Even if plans change, she can usually adjust because she has already thought through the basics.

I think organisation matters to her because accounting involves lots of figures and deadlines, and overlooking one small detail could cause a real problem. It also gives her a sense of control after a busy day. If she didn't plan things, she'd probably feel distracted rather than relaxed. So for her, being organised isn't about being perfect; it's a practical way to stay calm and make time for the people around her.

    • ·Writing tasks down and setting priorities is more reliable than remembering everything.
    • ·Tidying the desk before leaving saves time searching the next morning.
  2. 2

    Why is it important for people to be organised?

    • ·Clear organisation reduces forgotten tasks and last-minute confusion.
    • ·Colleagues trust you more when they know when your work will be ready.
  3. 3

    Do you think children should learn to be organised from a young age?

    • ·Putting toys away and packing a schoolbag teach children responsibility.
    • ·Expectations should suit their age, without scheduling every minute like an adult.
  4. 4

    • ·Organised people miss fewer deadlines and are more dependable in a team.
    • ·Success also requires ability and opportunity; neatness alone does not guarantee results.
