Rewrite the assignment: Look at the picture and fill in the gaps with the words from the box.
Provide a box with words that should be used and indicate how often you can use a word.
Rewrite the text and make sure that there is only one right solution (from the boy)
For more authenticity: Create a dialogue with gaps between Amy and her mother in which they are talking about the things in Amy‘s room.

In order to increase the task's validity, make sure that the students know what the teacher expects them to do

Students can write about their own weekend.
New task: Write two sentences about what you did on the weekend and two sentences about what you didn‘t do on the weekend. Use the Simple Past.

The teacher should give clear tasks -> "Look at the pictures and write down what Amy and her friends did. Use the simple past."

'Not in the text'-column should be removed (just confusing). Questions should be more complex then.

Improvement #2
Maybe even remove the whole table and instead. ask specific questions about the text.

Explicitly ask the students to use simple past forms

Ask the students to write one sentence per note

Make clear whether Amy did or did not do the things she had to do

The teacher could give hints as to what the students should write in a broad and not too specific sense, maybe even write an example sentence

The last sentence appears to refer to an event that happened much later. Leave it out, mark it as happening later or use a stanza

Rewrite task:
Think about the last four days. For each day write a sentence about the weather and a sentence about an activity you did on this day. If you did the same thing on all four days, imagine an activity or what you would have liked to do. Use the Simple Past.

# data[].attributes.body
The task and what is expected should be stated specifically. I would also suggest using different pictures and adding a task that specifically asks for the weather. I’d then add the task asking the students to write - again, using specific instructions-, if students make mistakes and confusing any weather terms in both tasks, I’d take the point off in task 1 and focus on what’s written in task 2.

Better pictures (clearer, colourful)

Validity: Task asks about "weather vocabulary", not the "simple past"

-> already give the weather conditions (vocabulary), so student can form a sentence in the wanted tense

Using proper black and white pictures will make for clearer pictures. This mess is created when photocopying coloured pictures. No school will hand out colour copies to students.
