I'll work through this reading comprehension task step by step, checking the text carefully to correct each false statement.
Let me read through the text and verify each statement:
The text says:
- Jessica is an Australian student (thirteen years old)
- She lives in Sydney with her parents and her sister, Ruth
- Her mother is a nurse, father is a doctor
- She likes playing tennis and swimming
- She plays tennis twice a week
- She gets up at half past seven
- She has a quick shower
- She goes to school by bus with Ruth
- They go home at four o'clock
- At five o'clock they have a snack and do homework
- Dinner at eight o'clock
- After dinner, Jessica watches TV or reads a book
- Ruth doesn't like reading, so she plays computer games
- They go to bed at half past ten
Now let me check each false statement:
a) Jessica isn't a student.
- The text clearly states "Jessica is an Australian student"
- Correction: Jessica IS a student.
b) She plays tennis three times a week.
- The text says "She plays tennis twice a week"
- Correction: She plays tennis twice a week.
c) She is an only child.
- The text says she "lives in Sydney with her parents and her sister, Ruth"
- Correction: She is not an only child; she has a sister named Ruth.
d) She gets up late.
- The text says "Jessica usually gets up at half past seven" and at the end it mentions "They go to bed at half past ten because they get up early"
- Correction: She gets up early (at half past seven).
e) She doesn't have a shower in the morning.
- The text says "She has a quick shower, gets dressed and then she has breakfast"
- Correction: She does have a shower in the morning.
f) Jessica and Ruth go to school by car.
- The text says "At twenty past eight Jessica and her sister go to school by bus"
- Correction: Jessica and Ruth go to school by bus.
g) Ruth reads a book after dinner.
