Self-check
Tick what feels solid. Anything unticked? Go back to that lesson.
- Use reported speech for statements, questions and instructions.
- Use reporting verbs (claim, deny, suggest, warn, admit) with correct patterns.
- Evaluate and summarise sources, expressing certainty and uncertainty.
- Use hedging language (seems, tends to, appears to, it could be argued) to discuss bias.
