Kimi Promises to Give Some Usage Back
How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
Who accepted responsibility?
Correct answer: B — Moonshot/Kimi
Why: The company did.
Clue in the story: Kimi apologised after problems with its K 3.1 Pro subscription service. Some usage limits and unnecessary use of customers’ allowance were its own problems, the company said.
What remains unverified?
Correct answer: C — Every account is fixed
Why: An announcement is not verification.
Clue in the story: It promised to restore 25% of each subscriber’s monthly allowance once. It also said it was reducing unnecessary extra AI tasks and long answers. These are company promises, not proof that every account is already fixed.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Explain the finding and its limit.
One possible answer: Relief was promised, not verified for every account.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
