The statement above is TRUE.
When heat is added to a substance, the heat increases the kinetic energy of the particles of the substance and enable to vibrate or move faster, this usually increase the temperature of the substance. However, adding heat does not always increase the temperature of a substance. For instance, during the process of boiling point of water, the additional heat energy that is added to the water is used to break the chemical bonds in water and not to increase the temperature of water.
