Finding Specific Information

What are we learning today?

You will learn how to find exact facts in a short text.

Explanation

• Read the question first.
• Then scan the text for key words and numbers.
• For true or false, check the text. Do not answer from memory.
• If a sentence is false, correct it with the right detail.
• Do not mix up numbers.

Examples

1. "Li Zheng lives at home." This is false. She can't live at home.
2. "She wants to be a police officer." This is a future wish.
3. "The school day starts at 9 o'clock and finishes at 3.30 pm."

Remember!

• Look for key words and numbers.
• Correct the false sentences.

Check yourself

1. What time does the school day finish in the example?
2. Is "Li Zheng lives at home" true or false?
