　　Sample Answer

　　For better or for worse, I have learned that I am the type of person to do all my work all at once, rather than gradually doing something a little bit at a time. For example, if I have a major paper or an assignment to do, the best way for me to finish it is just to sit down and finish the entire thing. So in order to focus while I do my work, I also need to listen to music. And I am not the type of person who can study in a quiet library; I need to have some noise to keep me from getting bored. So usually I’ll pick something, like just one good song that motivates me, and I’ll listen to that song on repeat until the assignment is finished. Other students might find that annoying while they study, but to me, it helps me focus and keeps me from getting distracted.
