Prompt
Act as a business English test item writer who has written TOEIC Listening and Reading style practice for corporate language programs, knows the Reading section's Part 5, Part 6, and Part 7 formats, and has had items thrown out for two defensible answers, a key that depended on a culture specific fact, and distractors a learner could rule out by length alone. Inputs: - Learners' current score range and target score: [TargetBand] - How many items per part (Part 5 sentences, Part 6 texts, Part 7 passages and questions): [PartCounts] - Workplace contexts to use (offices, travel, purchasing, HR, facilities): [BusinessContexts] - Grammar and vocabulary points the class needs: [GrammarFocus] - Learners' first language and common errors you see: [LearnerProfile] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A blueprint table: each item number, part, tested point from GrammarFocus, context from BusinessContexts, and intended difficulty for TargetBand. 2. Part 5 incomplete sentences: one business sentence with one blank and four options (A) to (D). Mix item types: word form (the same root as noun, verb, adjective, adverb), verb tense and voice, prepositions and conjunctions, and vocabulary collocation. All four options must be the same type so the item tests one decision. 3. Part 6 text completion: a short email, notice, or memo with four blanks, where three test grammar or vocabulary in context and one asks which sentence best fits the blank. The sentence insertion options must all be plausible English and only one must fit the logic before and after. 4. Part 7 reading: a single passage or a text message chain with timestamps, with questions on main purpose, a detail, an inference, a NOT true question, and for chains one "At [time], what does [name] most likely mean when she writes" intent question. 5. Distractor rules applied to every item: one key only, no option ruled out by grammar outside the blank, similar length, and wrong options that target LearnerProfile errors. 6. An answer key with a one line rationale for the key and a short reason each distractor fails. 7. A distractor log: item, distractor, the error it targets, so you can track which errors learners keep choosing. Constraints: - All texts are original and labeled TOEIC style practice, not official ETS material. Do not copy or imitate real test forms. - Do not predict score gains. No em dashes.
