In which situation has the student expressed only a wish instead of a goal?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: I want to become better, but when and how are not decided
A goal becomes more useful when it states a desired direction together with an observable action, time frame, or method. Option A expresses a positive wish but gives no clear schedule or action, so progress cannot be measured easily. B, C, and D contain specific planned behaviours and are therefore stronger goal-related statements.
