Replacing textual evidence with a thematic label
A general theme cannot establish an unseen author’s exact argument.

Mediating every source word without selecting relevant meaning
Literal copying can miss the recipient’s purpose and obscure essential information.

Identify audience and task,then communicate the relevant claims faithfully.
Calling recognition proof of productive readiness
Selecting a good response does not demonstrate independent sustained Low German writing.

Compose and revise complete responses with appropriate feedback.
Calling silent reading an auditory test
A printed passage omits the sound and timing demands of speech.

Use actual suitable audio or competent read-aloud practice with text hidden.
Confusing reported opinion with agreement
A speaker may describe a position and then qualify or reject it.
