Strengths:
1. you put pictures in your assignment, it's good. your student will more interested.
weaknesses:
1. i think you don't need to put explanation about generic structure, because i'm sure this is already taught in classroom.
2. this is about listening, you don't have to put text,. your student will confuse.. and think "this is reading or listening?"
suggestion
1. put more clear instruction in each assignment.
2.put instruction about how your student answer it..sending via email?
