1 Read the text. Then correct the false sentences.

Google asks its workers to spend 20% of their time on a project they
like. They call this 20% time. The workers think of an idea and try to
make it work. Amazing ideas such as Gmail, AdSense and Google
News started from 20% time projects. So we know it works for Google,
but what about schools? Is 20% time a good idea for school students,
too?

Many schools in the USA use Google’s idea of 20% time. The students
choose a project, find the information they need and make or write
something to show the class. They don’t usually spend 20% of their
time on the project, but teachers give them about an hour a week.
They call this Genius Hour.

There are no textbooks for Genius Hour, and students can choose any
idea for their project. It can relate to science, geography, maths or any
other subject. The students love Genius Hour and they produce
fantastic projects.
