Sometimes, the students complain that the exam was too "tough" or that the questions were "unclear". While there may be small number of teachers out there who may intentionally try to trick their students by writing exams that are impossible to pass or even understand. Unfortunatelly, many teachers lack an understanding of how to use the different types of questions available. There are types of exam questions and using them effectively :
a. true/false questions.
b. matching.
c. multiple choice questions,
Common exam question terms and what they mean : word, definition, exposition, Analyse, Compare and Contrast, Narrative, descriptive, Division, and Classification. Using a mix of the above types of questions and making sure that your questions are well written, clearly explained and understood by your students.

Review of Dr.Day's video

I think I can get about extensive reading when I watched the video of Dr.Day that Reading is a number of interactive procesess. It means two ways, they are the reader and the knowledge. The reader when interacting with the text use the knowledge, knowledge of the topic to create to construct to build meaning.
Reading strategy helps us read to learn that’s why extensive reading is very important.The reader have to concern on the comprehension and fluency in reading. Because it’s really important. One good strategy is scanning. Extensive reading involves students in reading large quantities of material in the new language. The goals often goes beyond learning to read and may improve students’ overall language proficiency and their attitudes toward English and motivation for learning. It can be blended into any language course and program, regardless of the focus of methodology
The benefit of extensive reading
1. Better readers
2. Increased vocabulary knowledge because they find the new words.
