Question

You should mark the blank in the smile emoticon column if you like the activity. If you don't like an activity, you should check the box in the sad emoticon column. By doing that you should complete the table on the page. After you finish completing the activity table, you should have a conversation about that with your partner.

(Would you check the directions above? Correct the expressions which are ungrammatical, please. Thank you.)

Answer 1

I'd make the emotion words parallel.

"the smile emoticon" and "the frown emoticon"

OR

"the happy emoticon" and "the sad emoticon"

Other than that, I'd remove the "should" verb forms. All those need to be simple commands:

Mark the blank...
... check the blank ...
In that way, complete the ...
After you finish..., have a conversation ...

Answer 2

Sure! Let's review and correct the expressions in the given directions:

"You should mark the blank in the smile emoticon column if you like the activity. If you don't like an activity, you should check the box in the sad emoticon column. By doing that, you should complete the table on the page. After you finish completing the activity table, you should have a conversation about it with your partner."

In the revised version, the sentence structure and grammar have been corrected, giving us clear instructions on how to complete the activity table and discuss it afterwards with a partner.
