• Question
  • Do you prefer to work in the ealry morning or at night?
• Answer (Correction)
  • I am actually a night person/a night owl so I prefer doing/working at night because in the morning there are a lot distractions. So if I do something in the morning I can’t concentrate on it.

• Question
  • Why do some people find it difficult to focus or concentrate at night?
• Answer (In my case)
  • I think many people are so tired at night, because of their hard working. They usually cannot concentrate something.
• Answer (Correction)
  • I think most people consume so much energy during the day time so at night they already feel exhausted, therefore it is hard for them to keep their focus at night.

• Question
  • What do you do to improve your efficiency?
• Answer (In my case)
  • I prefer to do something I should concentrate in the cafeterria. And hearing music by my headphone, I usually do that. It is because white noise makes me more focused.
• Answer (Correction)
  • For better efficiency I usually go to a cafe if I have to do something really important and listen to music while doing it. I think white noise/I think having a background music helps me stay focused.
