Frank was a worry wart, which meant he worried all the time.   In the morning, when he woke up he would worry, “Ooooooh, I don't think I have enough time to get to work.” Because of that, he would always get to work late.

 

At work, he would always worry, “Oooooh, I hope I don't do a bad job today.”  Because of that, he didn’t get much work done.

 

At night, he would lie in bed and worry for hours, unable to sleep.

 

One day, his friend Nora said, “Frank, don’t be a worry wart, be a planner! Before you go to bed write down your plan for the next day.” 

 

That night, Frank wrote down his plan. In the morning, he got up early and got to work on-time.  At work, his plan helped him be very productive. That night, he wrote his plan for the next day and went to bed with no worries.

弗兰克是个喜欢自寻烦恼的人，意思是，他会担心很多事情。

早上醒来的时候，他会担心，“哦，我想我上班要迟到了。”正因为如此，他上班总是迟到。

​

在工作中，他总是担心，“哦，我希望今天不要犯错误。”由于他太担心了，他没有完成很多工作。

 

晚上，他躺在床上，几个小时都睡不着。

一天，他的朋友诺拉说：“弗兰克，别自寻烦恼了！你得好好计划！睡觉前，把你第二天的计划写下来。”.

 

那天晚上，弗兰克写下了他的计划。

 

早上，他起得很早，准时去上班。工作时，他的计划帮助他提高效率。那天晚上，他写好了第二天的计划，然后放心地上床睡觉了。
