Exam Strategy: answering True. False or Not Given questions

1. Read the statement very carefully.

2. Highlight the key words in the statement.

Helen Green thinks that it is difficult for young people to find a summer job.

3. Find the paragraph in the text with the information about this statement.

Getting a summer job

A summer job will give you the chance to earn money and get some work experience, as well as learn new skills. Many teenagers think that it will be difficult to find a job because they don't have as much experience as an adult. However, that’s not the case at all.

4. Scan the text for the key words you highlighted in the statement. Watch out for 'synonyms' (different words with the same meaning),
e.g. young people = teenagers.

5. Use the exam strategy information to decide whether the statements are True, False or Not Given.
