Could these be appropriate directions?

Hi teachers,
Change these sentences by using the correct form, comparative and superlative, of the underlined adverbs. Make all the necessary changes.
1. She doesn’t speak very clearly.
2. You have to study hard for your test.
3. I got up late this morning.
4. She works too slowly on the computer.
etc.

Thank in advance.

I cannot do the exercise myself from the directions you have given, TS. I don't understand what is wanted. Please supply an example response.

Change these sentences to two new sentences by using the correct comparative and superlative of the underlined adverb and relating the subject of the sentence to another person of your choice. Example:

a. They speak English well => They speak English better than I do; They

Hi TS,

Are you sure that the English in these instructions will not be too hard for the students who will read them? They seem to me too difficult.

Hi Clive,
Thank you very much for your concern. But they don't to me. If you think they are, could you tell me yours please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If they seem OK to you, just go ahead. You are the best judge of what to do.
But I think your students must speak quite good English.

Hi Clive,
Thank you for your reply and care. That exercise is for low intermediate students. The only problem they may have is with the word, 'relating'. But if I tell them that it means 'connecting' or 'making a connection with', I don't think they would have any problems at all.

Hi,

I don't know about your low-intermediate students, but if you gave me that direction I'd have trouble figuring it out.

I think the instructions are more complicated than the grammar point.

I'd consider simply
