Mandy is happy to share a computer with her family.

Mandy: 15, Leeds
I think computers are 100% important in our lives. We’ve got one at home, but everyone in my family uses it. If I had enough money, I’d buy a laptop of my own. I use the computer for all kinds of things – homework, projects, chat, emailing people, playing games, everything! If we didn’t have one, I don’t know what I would do! I suppose I’d write letters or phone my friends more, and I’d have to read books! But you can learn so much more on the net!

Mark the sentence T (true) or F (false).

The answer key is T. But I don’t think there’s enough information to show that. What do you think?

THANKS.

There is, however, enough to say that False wouldn't work as an answer. I think you're right that the statement is more positive than the text- she does say but everyone uses it - but she does seem pleased to have access even to a shared computer.

I would have marked it False. She would be happier with her own computer.

They could have made a better question.
