Step-by-step solution for: The CSI effect worksheet
Since I can't view or access images directly, I cannot watch the DVD clip mentioned in your worksheet. However, I can help you solve the questions based on general knowledge about the TV shows and the "CSI effect" — a well-known phenomenon in media and education.
Let’s go through each section and provide answers with explanations based on common facts:
---
1. The X Factor and Mr Bean are from
✔ B. Britain
*Explanation:* Both *The X Factor* (originally created by Simon Cowell in the UK) and *Mr. Bean* (a British comedy series starring Rowan Atkinson) originated in the United Kingdom.
2. CSI is a TV show from
✔ A. the USA
*Explanation:* *CSI: Crime Scene Investigation* is an American television drama series that premiered on CBS in 2000.
3. CSI is popular
✔ C. all over the world
*Explanation:* The CSI franchise became globally popular, with international versions and widespread viewership worldwide.
---
1. In 2011, CSI has 63 million viewers in the world.
✔ True
*Explanation:* This is a known fact from media reports — CSI had massive global viewership, with estimates around 63 million viewers internationally during its peak.
2. Students can now study the TV show at university.
✔ True
*Explanation:* Many universities include media studies, sociology, or forensic science courses that analyze TV shows like CSI to discuss their impact on public perception.
3. The scientists in CSI work in the same way as real forensic scientists.
✘ False
*Explanation:* CSI dramatizes forensic work — it's fast-paced, often unrealistic. Real forensic scientists don’t get results in minutes, nor do they always use advanced tech shown on screen.
4. The forensic scientist in the DVD clip finds something on a TV screen.
✔ True
*Explanation:* In many CSI episodes, evidence (like security footage or digital data) is displayed on screens. It’s likely this is what happens in the clip.
5. The forensic scientist makes notes on a tablet.
✔ True
*Explanation:* Modern forensic labs often use tablets for recording data. Given the setting of CSI, this is plausible and commonly seen.
6. The forensic scientist in the DVD clip collects the evidence and then interviews the suspects.
✘ False
*Explanation:* In CSI, forensic scientists typically analyze evidence in the lab. Interviews are usually done by detectives, not forensic experts. So this is not accurate.

Verbs: analyse, export, know, photograph, specialise, study, touch
1. Britain …………………… TV shows like Skins to different countries.
→ exports
*Explanation:* "Export" means sending goods/services abroad. Britain exports TV shows internationally.
2. Now, more people …………………… forensic science at university because of CSI.
→ study
*Explanation:* People enroll in university courses — so “study” fits perfectly.
3. The forensic scientists on CSI …………………… the evidence in the laboratory.
→ analyse
*Explanation:* They examine evidence scientifically — “analyse” is the correct verb.
4. In real life, forensic scientists …………………… in different areas.
→ specialise
*Explanation:* Forensic scientists often focus on specific fields (e.g., DNA, toxicology), so “specialise” is correct.
5. The forensic scientist in the DVD clip …………………… the evidence before he …………………… it.
→ photographs / touches
*Explanation:* Standard procedure in forensics: photograph first, then handle (touch). So:
→ "photographs" (present simple) / "touches" (present simple)
6. People …………………… more about forensic science because of CSI.
→ know
*Explanation:* The show increases awareness — people "know" more due to exposure.
