I think this item can be difficult for beginners! The instructions are too long. Also, in my opinion, I think you shouldn't mention the marking criteria.
Hello!!
I think Alexander mentioned the marking criteria just for explaining the way he is going to correct the students' production. It won't appear on the test, will it?
Aurora.
Criteria won't be printed in the text. However, students will be instructed on such criteria.
