How to Prepare for the First Time at Anything

如何為你的第一次做準(zhǔn)備

Plan and prepare

計劃和準(zhǔn)備

If possible, try to plan and prepare as much as possible before doing something new. This way you will gain more self-confidence, and by planning and preparing you actually may have a bit more control of things.

如果可以，在做一些新事情之前盡可能地計劃和做準(zhǔn)備。這樣的話你會變得更自信，事實上，通過計劃和準(zhǔn)備，你掌控事情的能力也會獲得提升。

But you don't always have that sense of control. For instance, if you are going out on a first date, you cannot plan every possible topic to talk about in advance — nor is it reasonable to do that.

但是你并不總是擁有那樣的掌控能力。比如說，如果你第一次出去約會，你不可能事前準(zhǔn)備每一個可能討論的話題，那樣做也不合理。

On the other hand, if you are going to take a certification test related to your profession, you can study and prepare sothat you can reach a whole different level when you take the exam.

另外一方面，如果你將要參加一個專業(yè)考試，你可以學(xué)習(xí)和準(zhǔn)備，所以你在考試的時候可以達(dá)到一個不同的層次。

【知識點津】

do something new 做一些新鮮的事情something 是不定代詞，修飾不定代詞的形容詞應(yīng)該放在不定代詞后面。

self-confidence 自信

reasonable 合理的

on the other hand 另一方面

take the exam 考試
