English for 1C

Hi 1C!

Today, we did a worksheet about the different types of comprehension questions. It is important to identify the type of questions as only then would we be able to give the right type of answers. It's like fitting the right key into the correct lock. Only then will the door open right? So a wrong answer would be like a wrong key and the door to your marks will remain locked!

There are 2 main type of questions. Factual questions which only require you to answer with answers that can be found directly in the passages and Inferential questions which require you to think deeper into the meaning of the passage.

Under the giant umbrella of Factual and Inferential questions, the questions come in a large variety. Who, where, when, why, what, which and how. We must be able to identify these keywords in the questions to be able to give the right kind of answers.

There are also questions which require you to use your own words. As i have mentioned in class, these questions are important as it helps to tell the difference between a good student and a normal one. To be able to use your own words means that your command of the English language is very strong.

I hope all of you do learn and remember these points. Those who did not fill in the worksheet promptly because you were not paying attention, please do copy the answers from your friends as this is good for your own study. So, remember all these skills when you're doing comprehension and you'll score well! Don't throw your own marks out of the window!
