✍️ New · Writing coach

Don't just read the news. Write about it — and get coached.

— Every lesson ends with a question. Answer it in your own words and an English coach corrects you instantly: what was wrong, why, and how a native would say it.

You write

I am agree with this news because economy of my country have same problem since many years.

The coach corrects — changes highlighted

I agree with this news because the economy of my country has had the same problem for many years.

Why it was wrong

  • I am agreeI agree

    ‘Agree’ is a verb, so it doesn't need ‘am’.

  • since many yearsfor many years

    Use ‘for’ with a length of time, ‘since’ with a starting point.

B1, B2, and C1 English news lessons on the same story

— Start where the article is understandable, then move up when you want more natural vocabulary and sentence structure.

B1 English level

Understand the story first

B1 lessons keep the main idea, important facts, and useful everyday words. Good if normal news feels too fast or too dense.

Learn more about B1 practice →

B2 English level

Read more natural news English

B2 lessons add richer vocabulary, longer sentence patterns, and more detail while still giving you support when the article gets difficult.

Learn more about B2 practice →

C1 English level

Train with near-original language

C1 lessons stay close to real newsroom style, with context notes and quiz questions that help you notice nuance, tone, and argument.

B1 vs B2 vs C1: which English news level should you read?

B1 English level

You can follow the main story when the language is clear. Choose B1 if real news feels too fast, dense, or full of unfamiliar words.

B2 English level

You can handle more detail, opinion, and natural phrasing. Choose B2 when you understand the story but want stronger news vocabulary and sentence patterns.

C1 English level

You can read near-original news English and notice tone, argument, and nuance. Choose C1 when you want less simplification and more newsroom style.

Not sure whether you are B1 or B2? Take the free English level test or start with today's B1 version and move up when you can explain the story without translating every sentence.
