What to do:

1. Read the text first

2. Read each question carefully and think about the key words in the question

3. Look at how many marks the question carries. This will tell you how many points you need to make and whether you need to include evidence from the text.

● 1 mark = a word, phrase or single, quick sentence○ happy○ Relieved but still worried○ Nobody knows where the myth started

● 2 marks = 2 examples from the text OR an answer with exact evidence from the text

○ Relieved, worried○ She is excited because she claps her hands

and jumps on the spot○ He is nervous because his hands are

sweating.

● 3 marks = 2 points with evidence for both
