ENERGY CRISIS

Hi Aurora,
I think this is a grammar item because you're asking them to identify the correct tenses for the conditional tenses. It's kind of difficult to understand the reading with those interruptions.

Hi Aurora,
I agree with Nahir, you are assessing grammar and not READING COMPREHENSION! When assessing reading, you should include questions that assess students' comprehension of the text, charts... etc. And not grammar or vocabulary!
Hello, Aurora. I think you are still a little bit confused with checking grammar within reading. This item does not look as if it were a reading item but a grammar one. In addition, the layout of the reading item turns out to be somehow difficult to read.
Hi everybody:
Thanks a lot for your comments, I already published another item.
Aurora.
