Dear friends,
I’m an English learner,I’ve been learning it for nearly 3yearsbut now in this point I have to confess I’ve not learned anything,may be it’s because I don`t have anyone to compare my ability with or because I don’t have a teacher,you know I’m a house wife and learning on my own.

Before, when I had proplems or mistakes in my excercises I didn’n know what to do,it made me feel hopeless.But now I’ve found a very interesting way in correcting my mistakes I do it and then ask it in Yahoo,then great people like you read it and correct my mistakes.

This exercise has two parts,in part A we must fill the gaps with verbsor in part B we must fill the gaps with one of the expressions from part A.
Please check if I’ve done this exercise correct.

(Take)his work first.
(Take)part.
(Take)a risk.
(Take)place.
(Take)my advice.

Part A looks very good--the only change I'd suggest would be for the second one, "Put" sb in charge of --when you put someone in charge of, you are giving them the responsibility for getting it done. The same expression is used in #9 of part B--I was delighted to be put in charge of under fives....
I would also say, in B, #4, the police put a very good plan into practice, rather than on... Also, in B#8, he puts his work first--you are saying that he places it first in his priorities.

First of all, you spelled "exercise" wrong but to continue:
Part A: (Take)sb in charge of should be PUT
(Take)his work first should be PUT
The rest are correct
Part B: #8 should say "puts his work first"
#9 should say "to be put in charge
The rest looks fine
