Make Your Way 5, Schulbuch mit Audio-CD und CD-ROM

TIP True/false/not given tasks True/false/not given tasks require you to decide whether a given statement is true according to the information in the text (i.e. the statement gives the same information as the text) • false according to the information in the text (i.e. the statement gives opposite or different information • as the text) or not mentioned in the text (i.e. the information given in the statement is not given in the text) • Proceed as follows: Let the example at the beginning help you to become tuned in and see how and where to write your • response. Before you start reading the text, it is important to read the questions (here: 1–8) carefully and • thoroughly. As you read the questions, underline important information such as dates, places and names. With a little practice, you will develop a feeling for those parts of a statement that may NOT be true. • Quite often this is a proper name or a number as in statement 0: “People first began mining at Clearwell in the eighteenth century” (FALSE: the text states that mining began 7,000 years ago). Once you are through with reading all the questions, glance over the text. If you spot any information • relating to the questions, mark it straight away. Answer the questions one by one with the help of the underlined parts of the statements. • Only use the information in the text to lead you to the correct answer; do not let your own understanding • or opinion bias you when deciding on what the answer should be. Do not get stuck on any one question. If you can’t get the answer, move on. You can always come back later. • If you really don’t know the answer to a True/false/not given question, and you want to guess the answer, • rather NOT choose “not given” – it’s the least frequent answer. 45 2 Extensive unit 2: Schools Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
