   In this post I would like to talk more about an application called Hot Potato. Actually, I have ever talked about this application on my previous post. However, I would like to share more on how to make exercise using "Hot Potato". "Hot Potato" is an application that is used to make exercises. Here you will have six types of exercises such as JCross, JMasher, JMix, JMix, and JCloze. You can use one of them or even you can use them all. However you need to download and install the application first, then you can make the exercises. And one important thing, the result of this exercise will be in the form of HTML which means you need to send the HTML file first to your students and ask the to download it first. Then they can do the exercises after they download the HTML files. 
    So now, without further some, let us start the tutorial!
