S: Excuse me. Can you tell me what an exercise is, please?

L: Well, it's sort of like a series of questions numbered one, two, three, four, for example. And one might be a definition. Another might be a calculation. Or you might have to describe information on a table. Little short answers, a number of little short answers.

S: So it's a bit like what you do in an exam.

L: Yes, often an exam is very much like an exercise.

S: OK. Thanks.

L: Thank you.

I am trying to be competent in English writing. Therefore I am here to learn but I am confused about how could this practice enhance my writing competency. I got 83% by several attempts of repeating the record.

Hello kamal111,

Please read the instructions. This is not an exercise in which you type the answers – you move the words in the green boxes at the top into the gaps.

Best wishes,
Kirk
