You may have to answer short questions, complete sentences or a summary, or label a diagram. A very common question type involves completing a set of notes based on the passage. There are ten questions in each section and these will generally be of one to five different types.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Can I write on the question paper?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Yes, you can write freely on the question paper in both English and your own language if you prefer.

As a general rule, it is better to decide which spelling variety you want to use and stick to it.
