Idea — Text difficulty is not just vocabulary. Length, sentence structure, topic familiarity, text type, and cultural reference all affect how hard a text is.
Example — A short text on an unfamiliar cultural event can be harder than a longer text on a familiar topic.
Try — Choose two texts at the same word count. List three factors beyond vocabulary that make one harder than the other.
