Question on information for a listening comprehension exercise

Hi teachers,
This is for a listening comprehension exercise.
If this is what the students will hear, ‘He moved quickly and stayed away from towns and villages’.
Will this be the correct information to be asked?
Write about how he moved and where he stayed away.

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Do you need to say 'write'?

How about just this?
How did he move?
Where did he stay away from?

Hi Clive,
Thank you for you reply. Yes I do need to say write. Because it is a listening comprehension exercise.
Before I used to ask them question like the ones you have written, but this was just to parrot back what they've heard.
But now what I want to test is comprehension. I know it is harder because I have to
