Practice sample: see how one text becomes a full exercise

This is the sample collection waiting in your study room when you sign up. Here it is opened out, so you can see how one text becomes paragraphs, sentences, and the phrasings underneath them.

Start from a recall cue, use structure cues if needed, then check the model sentence.

What each level is for in practice

The layers above are the practice units. Lower down is shorter; higher up is about order.

Collection
Holds writing that shares a goal. Your native and target languages are set here.
Text
Rewrite the whole thing from its meaning. The last step, and the hardest.
Paragraph
Rewrite a paragraph from one line about what it does. Order gets learned here.
Sentence
Write one sentence from its meaning. Only the ones that did not pass come back.
Chunk
When a sentence is still heavy, assemble it from chunks. Phrasing sticks here.
