I have a question that I need some input on. Can you please let me know what you think of the following?


A Korean teacher asked me whether or not the directions for the exercise below are correct or not. Although I think they could be improved, are they WRONG as is?

---------------------------------
Complete the sentences using the words from the word box and rewrite.

[care, drive, teach]

1. My friend really wants to English in Korea. ________________
2. I always to work. ________________
3. Take and see you again soon. _______________
--------------------------------

I know that what students are expected to do is obvious once you read the sentences ... but ....

* Is "Complete" being used correctly?
* Isn't rewrite a transitive verb?

Thanks for any opinions.

Complete the sentence using the words from the box and then rewrite them on the line.

[ontheway]

The sentences have no blanks in them, so they are already complete, but incorrect.


"Correct and rewrite each of the sentences below, using the appropriate words from the word box."

It all depends on whether or not the students are already trained to interpret the directions the intended way. Personally, I would put the blanks in the right place, NOT on the right.

I would probably add a statement that the following sentence are scrambled or out of order or some such and a word is missing then the "Complete the sentences....."

Thanks for the above ideas and opinions. I really appreciate them. Since nobody has said "They are fine as is." I wonder if I can say that they
are "wrong".

Just say they are unclear.

Better instructions might be, rewrite each sentence, correctly using 1 word from the word box.

or

Correctly rewrite each incomplete sentence using the appropriate word from the word box.
