Maybe I’m messed up somehow (I guess I am in the 98th percentile of dyslexics), but the instructions aren’t clear to me at all.
This happened a lot to me in reading comprehension exams in highschool as well. I would have hated the teacher and the class had I received a question like this, because I genuinely don’t know how to proceed.
Funny, I did so badly in highschool until grades 11 and 12, where I started the IB, got a different set of teachers, etc. And suddenly I get straight As (or in IB lingo, 7s) instead of Cs. And I think a big factor, not kidding, was the style and formulation of exams like these. It really does make a difference for some people.
Good test design would be to have Bob‘s first answer already filled in, so you get a pointer to how the dialogue is supposed to develop. Or just to have an oral exam, which I think are superior anyway.
Seems pretty clear to me. You see “Task 3,” instructions (“Continue the dialogue with Bob:”, capital C for continue and colon ending the clause), and then “Task 4.” But you can come to your own conclusions, if you think context is missing.
Forgive me if I am not so sympathetic with the teacher who created/graded this. My experience of school was much closer to a torture experience conditioning me to be a good little servant than anything else. I had overwhelmingly bad teachers who made that experience all the worse and should never have gotten and kept their teaching positions. Though I remember the few good teachers all the more favorably, and have stayed in touch with a few of them. This is just to say that I’m a little biased, but that bias is also rooted in reality.
This act you’re doing where you pretend to care about something which is not relevant here is pretty tiring. We cannot see the entire test and therefore random shit we pull out of our ass about how the test is poorly designed is meaningless as fuck.
What we know is a kid was a smartass and you’re on their side because you were that smartass and now you want to play the victim. Future replies will be blocked.
Cool. I didn’t read your post history. But I can see here that you have no empathy for a teacher but will bend over backwards for a student trolling them.
I have plenty of empathy for good teachers that give a damn about the kids and don’t just write them off. But I guess your version of a good teacher is one that teaches the prime lesson: OBEY
No you don’t. Nothing you’re saying has anything to do with this post, it’s just shit you made up. You do however have plenty of empathy for shithead students. You actually fit a comment I made earlier more than I knew:
Kinda weird how people hated learning so much they wanna project bad intentions on some question marks and innocence onto the little shit who thought they’d be “cute” and waste everyone’s time. This teacher had a stack of papers to grade. And it was a pretty meh joke in any case.
I’ll still reply to clarify for others that I loved learning. The problem was that my teachers hated teaching. This is something that people like TrickDacy will never understand, as they simply block anyone who disagrees with them so they can safely live in their little echo chambers. That is the very definition of a person who hates learning.

This is a tiny cropping of the page. There’s barely anything to go on, yet you and op jump to conclusions that it’s unclear.

Judging from your post history, I only get the impression that you like to argue.

Don’t bother replying as I’ve blocked you.
