How to read B1 Relationships & Drama stories
At B1 the goal is reading flow. Push through full paragraphs without translating word-for-word, and use context to guess meaning before tapping a translation to confirm. Inference is the skill that separates intermediate readers from beginners.
Read each story twice: once for the main idea without stopping, then again while tapping the highlighted vocabulary. Finish with the comprehension quiz — if you get most answers right, you are reading at the right level. When a story starts to feel easy, move up a level using the links above.
