Problem Situation exercise

1. Do you think that John and Emily are deceiving themselves about being able to do well in their English class?

Yes.  Because they close at the end of the semester is more busy than before, but also to practice in order to be selected as King and Queen for the dance, and they have to take part in the post – season games as well, so they don’t have enough time to complete the final project, because they a semester score, with the only sports activity at ordinary times, they can get C, but now their things so much, they are not likely to be beyond the usual level.

2. What do you think might be the result of the schedule they are following?
They will spend most of their time in post-season games and practicing dance, and the rest of the time will be spent on projects.

3. If they don’t do well on their English work, will they blame others or themselves?

Maybe themselves. They also know that they have other activities, which will lead to insufficient time. They also know the importance of this project. If they reduce some activities appropriately and give more time to the project, they will get good scores

4. What, if anything, might you do differently if you were in their place?

If I want to improve my English, I will put the production of English project in the first place and arrange other things after making sure that I can do my best. As for being elected King or Queen at the ball, it’s actually less important than the other two things, so I don’t spend a lot of time practicing.
