Speaking exercise

Describe a piece of advice that you were told.

I had a piece of advice from my best friend. I was used to make some decisions very quickly. If I want to do something, buy something, I will just do it, because I don’t want to have any regrets. Sometimes after I did something, I will say they are pointless. One day, my friend told me, before you do something, you can stay 6 seconds and to decide do it or not do it. Recently i tried it for something about my life, it’s working. I have a short time to think the result of some decision.

In Double Eleven, I add lots of things to my shopping list. On the day, i had much time to decide buying them. Finally, I just bought some one i needed and saved many money.
