Common Mistakes to Watch For:

• Q3, Q12, Q16: Students may not give the required number of answers. Remind them to check how many items are asked for.
• Q5, Q8, Q13, Q15: Multi-part answers — students often give only one part. Encourage complete answers.
• Q19: Inference questions require students to go beyond literal text. Students should state the character trait AND provide textual evidence.
• Q20: Vocabulary-in-context questions test understanding of figurative language. "暖暖的" is not about temperature but about feelings.
