Pre-teens Intermediate + Term 1 Test Starter Unit _Unit 2 Test Reading Making your mind up! – by Amy Wilson Have you hesitated to make a decision or even put off making one? If, like me, you answer ‘yes’, read on. In my experience, it’s all about confidence. I have come up with some ways to help you feel more confident and become more decisive. • Learn a new skill. Take up a new sport, learn a new language or learn to play a musical instrument. I’ve been taking art classes for two years now. I’ve discovered that I’m able to concentrate more easily. • Have lots of experiences. Get together with your friends and do different things. I’ve always accepted every invitation to see and do new things. These experiences have given me more confidence, and the knowledge that I can do things myself. • Don’t always ask other people for their advice. Some people think very differently. What is right for them may not be right for you. Think for yourself! • Write down all the pros and cons about something – I still haven’t found a better way to make a big decision. In this way, I can see whether there are more advantages than disadvantages. So follow these tips and you’ll never have to avoid making a decision again! 15. Read Amy’s blog post.
