Judith:
Oh, my God! How __________________ (she/manage) to do it?

I don’t have a clue, but her plans to complete everything she __________________ (do/ always) are so accurate. I really admire her ability to organize herself.

Are you kidding!? That’s amazing!

I liked this item. I think instructions are very clear and well-contextualized. However, some of the item to complete are a little bit confusing (do/always? Adverbs of frequency, too). I also think you are testing future here (going to) (marry part)
I think this item is very authentic and it is contextualized, but you are assessing also future and adverbs of frecuency check that!
