English reading practice · C1
real texts, rewritten for C1 readers — new pages every morning
C1 · Advanced: Rich, precise vocabulary and sophisticated sentence structure, written like genuine journalism. Every story below also exists at the other five CEFR levels, so when C1 starts to feel easy, the next level of the same text is one tap away.
Read for style, not just meaning: notice sentence rhythm, inversion and nuanced connectors. Compare C1 against B2 to see exactly what 'advanced' adds.
Fresh off the desk
Open any story, then pick C1 on the level ladder at the top of the page.
