Hi Iris, In the text that you have created to recommend not to use "click here" I think that it is important that you also explain that the same text of a link should not be used to point to different resources. For example, you recommend to use "more information" I believe that it is important that you explain that it should not have more than a link with the text "more information" or something similar if they point to different places.
