The issue with learning a language is that you need to walk before you can run. You *need* the simple, repetitive exercises so you can learn the building blocks of the language. 

In high school French I remember we were listening to some pre-recorded exercise where we were practicing conjugating two verbs, *jouer* (to play) and *aimer* (to like something) plus a direct object. So the announcer on the recording said "We are all going to play tennis, and like it." 

The class had a good laugh, but we all needed to go through the practice of "Je joue au tennis, et je l'aime; tu joues au tennis, et tu l'aimes; nous jouons au tennis, et nous l'aimons" and so forth. (Sorry if I got any of that wrong... high school was a *long* time ago.) 

You can *try* to make the sentences and situations more interesting, but honestly, these exercises are not about writing fic. They are intended to be placeholders for you to do muscle repetitions. Think of them as musical scales for language.
