question on the exam

You know when you do the sacs and trial exam
and they ask you a question based on the text you've read. and sometimes you can find the answer on the text.
I am just wondering are you allowed to copy the text as your answer for a particular question?
I mean just by copying word by word from the text to answer it? is that legal? LOL
or do you have to use different way to express it but similar contention

I don't see why you couldn't. I always do that, but I haven't been taught by a VCE Chinese teacher. :| Chinese teacher this year was a bit fail.

according to my teacher, don't copy word by word.
just reword it or put the order of the sentences differently..but i think they just want to see the point in that ...
but do not copy the text word by word

yea well I've done it before in most of my sacs
and I don't think i have lost any marks for copying words by words
teacher just wanted the answer, doesn't matter if it's from the text
But i am afraid of the way vcaa mark it, they might mark it differently and might lose us some marks for doing so.

hey, they want to know that you know which part of the text is relevant, as in, which part of the text is wanted... so as long as you copy out the right part of the text.. it should be OK...
