Reading: Cheating at school

Read Jimmy's story and decide if the sentences are true or false.

Hi, I'm Jack. Have you heard about Jimmy? How shameful! He was caught cheating in his Maths test. He was hiding some notes in his shirt pocket and the teacher saw him trying to look at them. I don't understand why did that, because he's such a good student and really doesn't have to cheat. He's so smart and it's also his favourite subject. Anyway, we all know you mustn't cheat in tests! I'm sorry to say that since he met Lola, he's changed and lost interest in school. He's also argued with his mum. He can't concentrate anymore and has obviously fallen in love. He spends hours drawing little hearts in his diary and once he wrote her name on his desk, and you know that we mustn't draw on desks. Luckily, nobody realized that it was him. I'm his best friend and would very much like to do something to help. But, what can I do? What can I tell him? I really want to help him because I know that school life won't be easy for him now because his teachers won't trust him. Poor Jimmy!

A: Jimmy cheated in his French test.

B: He hid some notes in his clothes.

C: Jimmy didn't need to cheat.

D: Jimmy can't concentrate because he's worried about his mum.

E: Jack gets on well with Jimmy.

F: Jack knows how to help his friend.
