Do you like reading?
Candidato
Yeah, I like reading a lot right now, but when I was a kid I don't like reading English books because I think it's sophisticated and I can't really understand the English books. But for now, I think it's enjoyable and I can learn different English grammars and writing skills.
Examinador
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidato
Yeah, I would prefer reading on a paper because when you are reading on screen, your eyes might get exhausted or very tired after reading for like an half an hour or an hour. And I think reading with paper is more realistic and you really know that you are reading a book and not just looking at the screen and you can more focus on it.
Examinador
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidato
Yeah, I always need to read carefully, especially when I was a when I'm a student, since we have a lot of practice of reading comprehension and I have to read carefully in order to know what the passage is saying to end to answer the questions related to the.

I prefer detailed reading because I think this is the way to fully understand what the book is trying to say and try to understand. Yeah, and.
Do you like reading?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and use correct tenses and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain the change with one specific example and a linking word. Avoid redundancy (e.g., "English books" repeated) and incorrect grammar (e.g., "I don't like" -> "I didn't like").
Ejemplo: I enjoy reading now. When I was a child I didn’t like English books because they seemed difficult, but over time I practised more and now I find reading enjoyable and useful for improving my grammar and writing.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: Use a clear topic sentence and tighten supporting reasons with linking words. Correct small errors ("an half an hour" -> "half an hour") and reduce repetition ("reading on paper" vs "reading with paper"). Add one concrete example or contrast for clarity.
Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because screens tire my eyes after about half an hour. For example, when I study from printed textbooks I can concentrate longer, whereas on my tablet I often lose focus and need frequent breaks.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: Provide a direct answer with correct tense and a clear distinction between situations requiring careful reading and those that don't. Use linking words and a concrete example. Avoid halting phrases and incomplete sentences.
Ejemplo: I usually need to read carefully for study-related texts, such as reading comprehension exercises, because I must understand details to answer questions correctly. In contrast, I skim simple messages or news headlines when I only want the main idea.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Give a concise topic sentence and one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition ("fully understand" and "try to understand") and filler words. Add an example of when detailed reading is useful.
Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me grasp the author’s arguments and nuances. For instance, when studying a textbook I read slowly and take notes so I don’t miss important points.
× Yeah, I like reading a lot right now, but when I was a kid I don't like reading English books because I think it's sophisticated and I can't really understand the English books.
✓ Yeah, I like reading a lot right now, but when I was a kid I didn't like reading English books because I thought they were too difficult and I couldn't really understand them.
The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly. 'When I was a kid' sets a past time frame, so verbs referring to that time should be in the past (didn't like, thought, couldn't). Also 'sophisticated' is awkward; 'too difficult' is clearer. Use plural pronoun 'them' to avoid repeating 'the English books'. Suggestion: Keep past-time clauses in past tense and use concise referents like 'them' for plural nouns.
× Yeah, I would prefer reading on a paper because when you are reading on screen, your eyes might get exhausted or very tired after reading for like an half an hour or an hour.
✓ Yeah, I would prefer reading on paper because when you are reading on a screen, your eyes might get exhausted or very tired after reading for half an hour or an hour.
Use no article before 'paper' when referring to reading in that format ('reading on paper'). Use 'on a screen' or 'on the screen'; here 'on a screen' is fine but 'on screen' is also common. 'An half' is incorrect because 'half' begins with a consonant sound; use 'half an hour' or simply 'half an hour' (the correct order is 'for half an hour'). Suggestion: Use 'reading on paper' and the correct expression 'for half an hour'.
× And I think reading with paper is more realistic and you really know that you are reading a book and not just looking at the screen and you can more focus on it.
✓ And I think reading on paper feels more real; you know you are reading a book and not just looking at a screen, so you can focus on it more.
'Reading with paper' is unnatural; use 'reading on paper'. 'More realistic' is acceptable but 'feels more real' is clearer. Word order 'you can more focus on it' is incorrect; place adverb after the verb ('focus on it more'). Also 'the screen' was changed to 'a screen' earlier; keep consistent. Suggestion: Use natural collocations ('reading on paper', 'focus on it more') and correct adverb placement.
× Yeah, I always need to read carefully, especially when I was a when I'm a student, since we have a lot of practice of reading comprehension and I have to read carefully in order to know what the passage is saying to end to answer the questions related to the.
✓ Yeah, I always need to read carefully, especially when I was a student, since we had a lot of reading comprehension practice and I had to read carefully to understand what the passage was saying and to answer the related questions.
The sentence mixes tenses and includes repetition and fragments. Use past tense for past student experience ('when I was a student', 'we had', 'I had', 'was saying'). Remove extraneous words ('to end to answer the questions related to the') and restructure for clarity ('to understand... and to answer the related questions'). Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and avoid repeating or fragmentary phrases; use clear verb phrases like 'to understand' and 'to answer'.
× I prefer detailed reading because I think this is the way to fully understand what the book is trying to say and try to understand. Yeah, and.
✓ I prefer detailed reading because I think it is the best way to fully understand what the book is trying to say.
The original includes redundancy ('to fully understand' and 'try to understand') and unfinished fragments ('Yeah, and.'). Simplify and complete the thought: state the reason clearly and avoid trailing fillers. Suggestion: Remove redundant phrases and finish sentences with a clear main clause.
