Read in Daily Life
Short practical texts — emails, texts, notices — each followed by a few multiple-choice questions.
- Practical texts of 40–140 words (emails, texts, notices)
- 2–3 multiple-choice questions per text
- Reading section · deterministic grading
What this task is
Read in Daily Life uses the everyday texts you actually encounter: an email from a landlord, a text from a classmate, a posted notice. After a short text you answer two or three multiple-choice questions about its meaning, detail, or purpose. It rewards quick, accurate reading of practical English.
Instant, deterministic grading
Each multiple-choice question is graded deterministically against the stored answer key, so you get an instant score and a per-question explanation at zero LLM cost. Unanswered questions count as incorrect.
Strategy tips
- Read the question before re-scanning the text so you know what detail to hunt for.
- Watch for purpose questions ("Why did the writer send this?") — they need the gist, not a single line.
- Eliminate options that are true but don't answer the question asked.
- Practical texts use idioms and abbreviations; learn the common ones from notices and emails.
