What Is the Topic?

Bias in Text is the main focus of this worksheet. It explains how writing can sometimes reflect personal opinions instead of balanced information. In the passage, the writer strongly supports a sports club and uses phrases that show opinion rather than fact.

Students learn that bias occurs when only one side of a topic is presented, and important details are ignored. They also understand how biased writing can influence readers and make information seem incomplete or misleading.

What’s in This Worksheet?

1. A short, simple passage about a sports club and how it is described.
2. Multiple choice questions to identify biased and factual statements.
3. Fill in the blanks focused on understanding bias-related concepts.
4. True or False questions to test understanding of bias in writing.
5. Underline the opinionated or biased phrase activity.
6. A paragraph writing task to explain how bias appears in the passage.

This worksheet includes both objective-type questions to check clear facts and subjective-type questions to check deeper understanding. It is designed to help students recognise bias while improving reading comprehension skills.
