I will give you recommendations for summer on Friday. You should know how you are doing. If your tests have been 4/6 and 5/6, then you are good for the next level. If your tests have been 2/6 and 3/6, then you should stay at this level.
Do you want to go to the next level in the summer? You may want to stay at this level since summer is such a short course.

that – things, sometimes people (doesn’t sound respectful)
