The document provides criticism of several exercises that ask students to fill in blanks in sentences. It criticizes the exercises for not being clear or descriptive enough in their instructions. It says the exercises should provide more context and explanation for students to correctly understand what is being asked and how to answer. More specific examples could help students learn when and how to use certain grammar rules like parts of speech, verb tenses, and sentence structures.

1. CRITICISM OF INSTRUCTIONS

2. Fill in the blanks with these words.
(quickly,pretty,terrible,good,easy,careful,carefully,loud)
• 1) He …… reads a book.
• 2) Mandy is a…. girl.
• 3) The class is …. loud today.
• 4) Max is a…..singer.
• 5) You can…. open this tin.
6) He is a ….. driver.
• 7) He….. drives the car .
• 8) The dog barks .....
This exercise is not given clearly because the student can slog away to find
the apropriate word and the student must know the word which is adjectives
and adverbs to fill into the blanks and whether it will come before the word or
after the word.Thus an adjective comes before a noun and an adverb comes
before a verb or at the and of the sentences.

3. Fill in the blanks with pronouns and verb 1
1) ……… dreaming. (George )
2) …... green. (the blackboard)
3) ……...on the wall. (the posters)
4) …….. running. (the dog)
5) …….. watching TV. (my mother and I)
6) …….. in the garden. (the flowers)
7) …… riding his bike. (Tom)
8) ……. from Bristol. (Victoria)
9) …… got a brother. (Diana)
Firstly,before the students complete the sentence with “she or he
”,they must know the gender of the names and they must also
know the singular noun and the plural noun and verb
1(am,is,are); later the singular noun follows “is” ,the plural noun
follows “are”and also I follows “am”and this structures must be
given clearly.

4. Fill in the blanks with will - future of the words below.
have – go – meet – visit – walk – have – buy – not be – have
Tomorrow I… my friend George. We … to the movies and
then we our dinner at the new fast – food place. In the
afternoon we … George’s uncle and play table tennis in his
garden. Then we… around in the shopping mall where
we … a look at the shops. Maybe I… new jeans. We… back
before 6 o’clock. I think we… a great day.
In this exercise,the clear verbs are given above and the
students can fill the blanks easily with future tense thus we can
say that this exercise is appropriate to understand the structure
of the future tense.

5. Write the verbs in past perfect tense
The floodwater destroyed the bridge the villagers ______ ( build ).
Alvin ______ ( not/be ) to Mexico before 2000.
The waiter served all the dishes that the customers ______ ( order ).
The farmer collected only some of the eggs the hens ______ ( lay ).
In this exercise,the past perfect tense can be explained how
it used or must be used,and about this exercise an example can
be given above and the students can easily fill the blanks.

It is a general exercise that includes some different ability and the student
must use his multiple ability,and the instruction is very short and it is not
descriptive.so, the student can answer this question with his four skills.

7. Use the given words/prases and form wh-questions (questions with question words)
1) on how you did plane feel the ?
2) kids doing are the what ?
3) why didn't me phone you ?
In this exercise,there are mixed verbs and the students must
order the mixed verbs with question words;so the students must
know the ordering of the word in grammatical rules and I think
there must be an example above such as the whole sentence.

8. Choose the word that best fits the sentence.
Hey, don't drive so fast or you'll get in an ________ .
a. accident
b. incident
The driver in front of me keeps changing ________.
a. lines
b. lanes

a. traffic
b. travel

a. fare
b. Ticket
This exercise is little complex because there are similar word and it can
be diffucult to seperate from the each other.some clues can be given about the
words and the student can associate with words in suitable blanks.

9. Topic: Doctor/Illness 1
Select the proper word.
1. I haven't been able to sleep in three days. I think I might have ________.
insomnia
a cold
the hiccups
2. Drinking water is one way to get rid of ________.
the hiccups
illness
fever
3. He smokes too much. Just look at the way he ________.
spits

coughs
This exercise is more clear than the former because the descriptive words are
given before the blanks thus the students can quess the proper word and as it is
mentioned in the instruction these words are relation to doctor and illness.

10. Complete the following exercise with past modal verbs.Use the correct
form of the verbs in parentheses.Choose between affirmative and negative.
1)I got a C on my math test.I……..(should/do)better than that.
2)Don’t be so hard on yourself.It……..(may/be)your fault.It just…..(could/be)a
more difficult test than usual.
3)No,it….(could/be)that difficult.The rest of the class did pretty well.I
….(should/study)harder.
In this activity,the instruction is given clearly so the student
fill the blanks easily.she put the modal verb after the subject
and later put the verb thus she will be complete the sentence.But
I think,the modal verbs must not be given and the student must
guess the verbs so the student can understand the subject.
