  1. Fill in the blank spaces in the text using the given words or terms.


The theory lessons in our education systems are not designed in such a way that it is possible to understand and memorize everything during the lesson because a lesson would take much longer, and moreover, this process is very individual. We need different approaches and it takes different amounts of time for each of us to understand and master the same lesson. So a good teacher should provide a structure for the lesson, like a map of the area, and then we should have high-quality teaching materials that students can use individually.
