What it is: You decide if a statement is true or false, then copy the words from the text that prove it.
The instruction on the paper: The following statements are either true or false. Tick [✓] the correct option, then justify it using words as they appear in the text. Both parts are required for [1 mark]. → Tick True or False, then copy the proof.
Example: Text C — Volunteering at the zoo
Every Sunday, Lena helps at the city zoo. She does not work with the big animals; she cleans the bird area and talks to visitors. "I was shy at first," she says, "but now I enjoy explaining things to children." The zoo gives volunteers a free annual pass, which Lena uses to visit with her younger brother.
True or false? Justify it using words as they appear in the text. Lena works with the big animals.
The answer
Your turn
- Answer it yourself first, then check.
- Tick [✓] the correct option
- mark True or False
- justify
- prove it with words from the text
- Justification:
- the line where you copy the proof
- using words as they appear in the text
- copy exactly, no changes
- Both parts are required
- the tick and the proof
Remember: Copy only the short part that proves it. A tick without the proof gets nothing.

Text D — Phone-free lunch: Since September, students at Riverside College must leave their phones in their bags at lunchtime. The head teacher introduced the rule after noticing that many students ate in silence, staring at screens. At first, some older students complained, saying they needed their phones to check bus times. The college solved this by putting a large timetable screen in the canteen. Two months later, staff say the canteen is noisier, but in a good way: students are talking and playing cards again.
True or false? Justify each answer using words as they appear in the text. 1. The head teacher made the rule because students were too noisy. 2. The college found a way to show bus times. 3. Students now talk more at lunch.
