b1 reading about anecdotes

Level: B1
Topic: Everyday Life – Embarrassing Moments

This B1 Reading Worksheet uses short, real-life tweets to engage students with humorous and relatable embarrassing situations. Learners read personal anecdotes and then decide whether short summaries are True or False, encouraging careful reading and attention to detail

💡 Why teachers will want to use this worksheet:

  • Develops reading for gist and detail, as students must compare original texts with paraphrased summaries.

  • Reinforces past simple and narrative language in a natural, accessible way.

  • Highly motivating and fun, thanks to authentic, humorous content students easily connect with.

  • Ideal for B1 exam practice, training accuracy and avoiding common “false friends” in comprehension tasks.

  • Naturally leads to speaking or writing follow-ups, where students share or invent their own embarrassing moments.

😄 A light-hearted, confidence-building reading task that makes comprehension practice enjoyable and memorable.
