Would you practise the words in a few sentences first, then try a speaking answer without the list? How can we tell if a word fits naturally or if we're forcing it into the sentence?

But how do we check if it sounds forced in our own sentence? Swapping the topic might help, like teachers and customers both giving feedback. Not sure that's enough though.

Could we try the phrase with two different subjects and compare? That might show whether we only know it in the original sentence.

You can also compare a neutral alternative: 'We researched places to visit' fits a weekend-planning context more naturally than 'We conducted research into places to visit.' Both are grammatical; the difference is register.
