I liked Spinney �s text, but since it is more advanced than you were looking for, I wrote this simple text. I am not sure what CEFR level it corresponds to, but my guess would be A level.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Life is busy. People work. People have stress. Work and stress makes people tired. We need entertainment to relax and rest. It makes us feel good. It makes us happy. It helps us pass the time. Happiness is important for our health. Entertainment is good for people.

Microsoft Word judged the text level to be Flesch-Kincaid grade level 1.7

The Flesh Reading Ease was judged to be 91.7

Please feel free to adapt it if it is helpful.

Adding the word �therefore� to the last sentence makes it more readable, I think.

That raises the scores slightly

Microsoft Word judged the text level to be Flesch-Kincaid grade level 2.1

The Flesh Reading Ease was judged to be 89.1
