A small practice for the final track

A practical exercise: Choose whether the abrupt ending is useful or needs a gentler transition.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Listening between the notes

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A playlist ends more abruptly than its maker intended.
  2. Choose whether the abrupt ending is useful or needs a gentler transition.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
