Hi Aisha,

I like the image you posted. What about the script or the sound? I think it's necessary to hear or read it to comment.

I know that it is important to include the script or the sound. the problem is that I couldn't upload it!

Hi Aisha,

You can copy and paste the script after the item. We all know that it won't appear in the test ;-)

Hello, Aisha. I think the instructions are quite clear and layout is good. I understand is a pre-intermediate level; however, some other items might interesting, not only multiple choice. For instance; you can use completion of information, true or false and also matching of options. It also depends on the lenght of the script.
