Logic & Advice
Narrative Comprehension: Reading to identify problems and solutions.
Finding the Root Cause
When people ask for advice online (like on Reddit or a support forum), they usually write a short paragraph explaining their situation. To help them, you must first identify the symptoms (what is going wrong) and then troubleshoot to find the root cause.
Good advice is always logical. Experts don't just say "do this"—they explain why. In this lesson, you will read three different scenarios. Pay close attention to the experts' answers.

Lately, I wake up feeling exhausted even though I sleep for 8 hours. I usually drink coffee around 6 PM to finish work, and I check my phone in bed until I fall asleep. Why am I so tired?
Hi Sam! It sounds like your sleep quality is low. Here are a few tips:
- First, avoid caffeine after 2 PM. It keeps your brain active too late.
- Also, stop using your phone 1 hour before bed.
- If you still can't sleep, try a warm shower in the evening.
I spilled a little water on my keyboard yesterday. I wiped it off immediately. Today, I pressed the power button but the screen stays black. The charging light is blinking red. Is it broken forever?
Don't panic yet. Try these steps:
- Unplug the charger immediately. Do not try to charge it.
- Turn it upside down (like a tent) and let it dry for 24 hours.
- Do not use a hair dryer; heat can damage the keys.
I want to visit Siem Reap and Phnom Penh next month. I have a budget of $500 USD for food, hotel, and travel. Is this possible? I don't need luxury, just clean places.
Yes, absolutely! $500 is plenty for a week if you are smart:
- Stay in hostels or guesthouses.
- Eat street food like Bai Sach Chrouk or Num Banh Chok.
- Use apps like PassApp or Grab for transport. Avoid private taxis.
