Question

  Here's a good way to find out where you need the most improvement：check your report card. Don't just look at the 1       . Check the comments your teachers write about each 2      

  Very often when students 3        report cards,they check their marks very quickly. Then they stop 4        and put them away. However,this is not right. Your report cards may 5        comments from each teacher. These comments are more useful than the grades.

  Not all comments by teachers are useful. Some have a common 6        of how the class has studied in the 7        term. There may be only a few 8        on your own work,and sometimes such comments are mainly written about which is 9       ,but not about your weak points.

  Sometimes teachers' comments are written in a kind of secret code (代码) that I 10      "reportspeak". For example, "George has a good understanding of.…"It 11      good. But in fact,a "good" understanding may be the third,or the fourth best result below "excellent" and "very good".12       you realize this, "good understanding" isn't so good any more.

  Because comments on the report card don't 13        have the information you're looking for,the 14       way to discover where you most need to improve is to ask your teachers 15        if you want to use your report card better.
