Question
What is a Vero/Falso + giustificare question?
Answer
A statement you mark true (V) or false (F) AND justify with words from the text. In Reading both parts together earn 1 mark; in Listening you only tick V or F, with no justification.
Question
In Reading V/F + justify, what do you score for a correct V/F with no justification?
Answer
Nothing — the V/F and the justification together earn 1 mark; V/F alone earns 0. (In Listening you only tick V or F.)
Question
What does «giustificare» mean in this question type?
Answer
To justify — to prove your true/false choice with the relevant words from the text (Reading). In Listening, true/false is just ticked, with no justification.
Question
What does «con parole del testo» mean?
Answer
With words from the text — your justification must use the text's own words, not a paraphrase (Reading). In Listening, true/false needs no justification.
Question
Che cos'è «la giustificazione»?
Answer
The justification — the exact proving words you quote to support your V/F.
Question
Che cosa significano «vero» e «falso»?
Answer
True and false.
Question
Che cos'è «una citazione» in questo contesto?
Answer
A quote — the exact words from the recording used as proof.
Question
What is the 'relevant detail' in a justification?
Answer
The exact part of the text that proves your V/F — not the whole sentence and not an unrelated line. (Reading only: Listening true/false needs no justification.)
Question
How many parts must be correct to score a V/F + justify mark?
Answer
Both — the V/F AND the justification, together for 1 mark (Reading).
Question
What is the five-step method for V/F + justify?
Answer
Read the statement → Predict the key words → Listen for the part it refers to → Decide V or F → Tick it. In Listening there is no written justification (that is a Reading task).
Question
Why is a bare V/F worth nothing?
Answer
In Reading the question awards 1 mark for the V/F PLUS the justifying words; without the justification the answer is incomplete. (In Listening, ticking V or F is the whole answer.)
Question
Why quote the relevant words rather than the whole sentence?
Answer
Copying the whole sentence buries the proof; the mark needs the exact words that decide V or F.
Question
Why watch verb tenses in V/F + justify?
Answer
A past-tense detail («prima…») can be true once but false now — the tense can flip whether the statement is V or F.
Question
Why is an irrelevant justification not enough?
Answer
It doesn't prove your V/F; the mark needs the right V/F together with the relevant detail that actually supports it.
