Hi! Don't stress it! If you check out the "How I classify reading levels" section on my "What's this all about" page, you'll see that I note that not much on this site it truly "beginner". That's because, in order to string a sentence together, and especially a few paragraphs, a higer-than-basic grasp of grammar is needed. 

That's why real beginner texts are usually dialogues, like, Person one: "Hi, how are you?" Person two: "I'm fine! Do you want to get some dinner?" But those are boring and in every textbook - I wanted to avoid that here. 

So, you're right - this is definitely not "beginner", for people who are just starting out in Chinese. This is more "beginner" for people who can piece a sentence together, but only one that has very simple grammar - no curveballs.
