Cara is a person with no time to waste. She multitasks by listening to the teacher but also reading, this keeps her caught up with the class and also further along in her book. If she didn't multitask like this, she would have to take more time to read and it would take more time in her day. Overall, she saves time by multitasking instead of doing one thing at a time. This makes her a time-oriented person who makes the most of her days.
You should do your homework so that you understand the subject taught in class. If you don't do your homework, your grades will drop and you will not receive a good grade in the class.
