Lking at the undne hmewrk n his desk always makes David Grey feel uncmfrtable. Mre ften than nt, David leaves his hmewrk behind and surf the Internet r watches TV instead, waiting until the last minute. “But the lnger I wait” says David, aged 15, “the mre wrry.”
Everyne prcrastinates (拖延) because they want t feel gd nw.
