===== 1. Simple but natural connectors: - "Then", "because", "so", "In the end". =====
# Clear time references to organize the story: - "recently", "last week", "for a moment".
# Basic but appropriate collocations: - "on sale", "guess the price", "a good deal", "cost around 80 or 100 euros".
# Indirect speech and modal verbs to show variety: - "She says that she likes it...", "her friend tells her to guess", "she probably cost...".
# Natural-sounding conversational phrases, but still simple: - "she was happy because it was cheaper than usual", "she only paid 67 euros".
# Balanced sentence length: Not too short and choppy (as in A2), but not overly complex.

💡 Expected CEFR and GSE if analyzed:
* CEFR: B1 or B1+
* GSE: Likely 50-55, as aimed

✨ Summary of what we've learned from this process:
* Even small adjustments in sentence connection, phrase choice, and structure can make a big difference in how a text is graded.
* Staying within natural speech while adding connectors and variety is key to moving from A2+ to B1.
* Pearson's tool likely weighs sentence length, variety of sentence types, and vocabulary sophistication heavily.

If you want, we could test this new version with Pearson’s analyzer and see what it gives, or I could attempt a similar analysis for another step/version! Let me know!
