UNIT 10 Rate your progress
A C
Mark has just received this report from his guitar
teacher: “Mark tries hard and is getting good at
reading music, but needs to practice more because
he often gets notes wrong. He has a hard time
concentrating and often gets distracted. However,
his finger work is good.”
Mark is going to audition for a friend’s band in a few
months. Help Mark rate his progress in different
areas and then draw up an action plan for the
GET ORGANIZED
summer to improve his guitar playing.
B
You have discussed internet use in class and you
have all agreed to reduce the time you spend online.
Your teacher would like to hear your feedback after
two weeks. You have decided to develop some
personal strategies to limit the amount of time you
spend in the evening on social networking sites and
the internet. You know this will be difficult because
you are used to catching up with your favorite sites
and chatting with your friends for several hours
every day, but your aim is to go online only on
weekends.
