Adjectives and Adverbs

On Thursday my 9th formes wrote a test on adjectives and adverbs. I`m quite satisfied about the results. Having in mind that one my class is especially weak, there were only two students who got 4. There were no negative marks. We were working on adjectives and adverbs for three lessons, but the material wasn`t absolutely new. They were familiar to adjectives and adverbs.
I made the test myself. Some tasks were taking from students` grammar books, others from the Internet, some of them I created myself. I tried to include  as many different tasks as possible. While practising we were doing alike tasks.
