Show understanding of written Lea Faka-Tonga related to everyday contexts
This is an external (exam-based) Level 1 standard worth 5 credits. Students read written texts in Tongan about everyday topics — things like school, family, hobbies, and holidays — and answer questions in English to show they understand what the texts mean. The exam is set and marked by NZQA, not your teacher.
You pick out the main ideas from the text and communicate a general sense of what it means. Your answers may be basic or brief and might include some information that isn't clearly linked to the text.
You go beyond the basics by connecting specific details from the text to support your answers. You choose relevant evidence, explain ideas clearly, and show you have read both the text and the question carefully.
You interpret the texts in depth, making well-reasoned conclusions backed by precise evidence. Your answers are well-structured, consistently accurate, and show awareness of why the writer made the language and content choices they did.
