Question 1

1.

Read this summary of the text and the directions that follow.

In this chapter, L.E. tells the reader what to do if you are not sure how to identify a broken soundtrack. Step 1 is to write down a goal. The goal can be big or small, you just need to notice it and write it down. Step 2 is to listen to the soundtracks that naturally play in your head when you write down your goal and see if they are positive or negative. McRae ends the chapter by telling the reader about three magic questions she is going to introduce which can help you to change your mindset when it comes to negative soundtracks.
