become organized.

How will you relate our lesson into our life? We need to become organized so that we know
when and how things to be done.

Precisely!
Always remember that we need to have structure
not only in grammar but also in our life because
structure is a way of organizing our life so that it
makes sense to us. This structure provides
direction in our life.
If we have directions/goals, we know where we
are going to.
