In this example, you need to name some activities that you like to do in class and others that you don’t. We can start by selecting activities for both categories. The answers may vary, but some possibilities for activities you do like could be:
-do the homework for literature class
-answer the teacher’s questions in math class

Some of the activities you don’t like could be:
-wake up early to go to school
-study late for the physics exam

In this example, you are asked which class rules you don’t like and why.
Step 2

Next, you say why you don’t like those rules
