qualify in this university. I found that the most popular programs in this university are engineering

marketing, and related support services (15%), health professions and related programs (21%).
Students who return after their first year were 90%.

Using what you have learned in this course, you are now going to help out a student named Rafael.
Rafael has problems in four areas:

Physical: He’s gained 40 pounds over the last year.

Emotional: His girlfriend broke up with him and he misses her.

Intellectual: He wants to get A’s and B’s, but is getting D’s.

Social: His girlfriend was his only friend, and he is lonely now.

What Super ELL techniques can Rafael use to improve his life? Do you think his four problems are
connected? Write three sentences giving your advice for Rafael.

Tip 1 – Rafael should do exercise 1 hour every day

Tip 2 – Study every night different subjects

Tip 3 – Make strong connections with neighbors and talk to anyone in school
especially the students that sit alone in lunch.
Part 3 –

Ask a friend or family member to complete the Instant/Lasting Zone chart, focusing on their use of
electronics. How are they using TV, their computers, or phones? Do they watch too much TV? Are they
not using their computer enough to do real work?

Have them share their chart with you and offer some feedback on how they can better use electronics in
their lives. Be sure to let them know that it is okay to spend some time playing video games, texting, or
checking social media, but your feedback and evaluation might lead them to change how they are
currently using their time.

should not waste their time in the Instant zone and that they should do the
lasting zone if they want to be successful in life.

How did they react to your Advice? Have they improved on their daily activities?

They reacted to my advice by doing more than they put in the lasting zone. Yes, I
have seen their progress every day since I told them my advice they have been
working really hard working and doing productive things.
