Personally, what I do if I am running out of time, well to be honest, nothing comes to mind. But if I were in this situation, I would probably just keep doing my best.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. The phrase 'numerous backlogs' is good, but the rest of the vocabulary is quite basic. To improve, try to incorporate more specific and descriptive words related to time management and problem-solving.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy
