MODULE 3: Model Answer

Example

Read a good example answer.

A clean school computer laboratory room with desktop screens, keyboards, and simple wooden tables

Sample Text (40 words) Open Model

"You should log in with your student ID. You shouldn't close your document before saving the work. Next, you should select the right wifi network on your desktop. Should I turn off the monitor at the end? No, you shouldn't."

Why this works (Simple Plain Notes):

1. You should log in

Gives good advice using "should" + plain verb "log in" (no "to" and no "-s").

2. You shouldn't close

Warns against a bad action with "shouldn't" + plain verb "close".

3. you should select

Gives another helpful tip with "should" + base verb "select".

4. Should I turn

Asks for advice starting with "Should I" + base verb "turn".

5. No, you shouldn't.

A correct short answer that fits the question directly.
