There is another thing to thatch out for. I was listening to a student complain to his instructor that the air to ground and AFIS stations he'd called whilst inbound in the last 2 flights had been too helpful in giving out the airfield information the minute he'd announced, "Station radio this is G-WXYZ", meaning he didn't get to proactive his full, "G-WXYZ is a Cessna 152, Leicester to Sywel, currently etc."

I have found this too and although if you're use to listening for it, it helps reduce time on the radio, for those learning, it doesn't help, and also usually catches them before they've picked their pen out of their kneeboard!
