Question about intructions for a listening comprehension exercise (6)

Hi teachers,
This is for a listening comprehension exercise. If this is what the students will hear: "He ate quickly, and Marta watched him.", is this a suitable question to ask? Is there a better one?
Write down how he ate and what Marta did.

Thanks in advance.

As usual, I would make it more challenging as a listening exercise: Write down what each person did. In addition to being more challenging, it is also more natural. 'Write down how he ate' is not very natural.
