Suggestion Exam 4th of ESO

Today in class we did an individual suggestion for an exam for 4^th of ESO. It should consist of 10 tasks and it has to follow a special orden. The order is Listening, Vocabulary, Gramar, Reading, Writing.

We had a level of difficulty from 1 to 3, 1 being the lowest level. I chose for my exam level 2. 

At the beginning for example I chose an exercise to use the Past Simple, Past Perfect and Past Continuous. The exercise consisted in a mix of all this three tenses but after consulting with Iñaki, it turned out to be to difficult. In the end I changed the exercise and I had to raise the level to 3. I would like to show you the suggestion of my exam.
