Your Part in the Friendship W1-mt_z98J_Zg2L3-s1

  1. False · Self-reflection includes looking at your own actions. It is not limited to what your friend did.
  2. I chose the game at all three meetups. · Choosing the game at three meetups is a repeated action by the speaker. The other notes do not identify a pattern in the speaker's actions.
  3. An action you can choose and check later · A useful goal tells you what action to try and gives you a way to check whether you tried it.
  4. I listen carefully and want to say when I disagree. · Listening carefully is a strength. Saying when you disagree is something to practise. The other reflections leave out part of this check.
  5. She often shares her plan before asking for ideas. · Sharing first happens four times, so it is a repeated action. The record does not show that Lina always refuses to listen.
  6. I will wait for a speaker to finish before I reply. · Jake can check whether he waited for the speaker to finish. This is a specific action he can choose himself.
  7. Review his response, without taking blame for the insult. · Ravi can consider a different response while still asking his friend to stop insulting him. Reflection does not make him responsible for the insult.
  8. Avoiding confrontation · The question states that Mia stays silent to avoid an argument. That repeated response can be called avoiding confrontation.
