The document discusses the clarity and effectiveness of instructions for different language exercises. It provides examples of instructions and analyzes whether they are clear enough for the intended exercise. Overall, it suggests that instructions could be improved by providing more context about what is being tested (e.g. vocabulary vs. tenses), stating the action required more explicitly (e.g. "fill in" vs. "complete"), and using simpler language appropriate for the audience.
