Please learn how to spell:

Causal is the correct spelling not casual.

on question 3 it should be an event not and event.

On another section it should have been from not form.

I found this was useful for remembering basic skills and remembering the differences between some of the criteria above to improve or add upon this i would create situations in which the user then has to work out what each answer is.

Excuse me, but I think you will find that the answers are not technically correct....

For example, a report by someone who has SEEN or HEARD an event would be a witness statement because they are a WITNESS!        (not a source!)

Also, some others seem a little iffy to me but i won't go into detail right now...

Anyway, thought I'd mention those small(ish) errors... but now i have to go and mark my year 11's russian mocks, so bye for now,
