Do you like reading?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Reduce hesitations and redundant phrases; give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid repeating time phrases. Aim for natural phrasing and correct grammar (e.g., “I gain extra information” → “I learn a lot”).
Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. I read about 50 pages each day because it helps me learn new things and relax. For example, I recently finished a history book that taught me a lot about my country’s past.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Puntuación: 64.0Sugerencia: Give a concise reasoned response with fewer fillers and clearer vocabulary. State your preference then provide one or two specific reasons (comfort, collection, eye strain) and a brief example. Correct article use and awkward phrases.
Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because physical books feel more comfortable and I enjoy collecting them for my home library. Also, reading on screens strains my eyes, so I usually choose printed books when I can.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Clarify the situations and reduce contradictions. Start with a direct answer (when I need to read carefully) and then give a contrasting example (when casual/skimming is fine). Explain reasons briefly with linking words (because, so).
Ejemplo: I need to read carefully for study materials or anything I will be tested on because details matter. However, when I’m commuting on a noisy bus, I usually skim lighter material since it’s harder to concentrate.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and one concise reason with an example. Replace vague phrases with precise language and correct grammar (e.g., “pay attention to every small things” → “notice small details”). Avoid fillers like “umm.”
Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because it lets me understand the text fully and notice small details. For example, when studying a scientific article I read it slowly and re-read difficult paragraphs to make sure I understand the concepts.
× I enjoy reading books.
✓ I enjoy reading books.
No correction needed; sentence correctly uses present simple to express a habitual action.'
× I read books every day, uh, like 50 pages a day and uh, I try to read every time, every day, every month and every year.
✓ I read books every day, about 50 pages a day, and I try to read every day, every month, and every year.
The original sentence mainly has correct verb tenses (present simple for habits) but contains redundancy and informal fillers ('uh', 'like') and punctuation issues. Suggest removing filler words, replacing 'like' with 'about' for an approximate number, and adding commas to separate items.'
× So it's really interesting and I got extra information, so it's really important and.
✓ So it's really interesting and I get extra information, so it's really important.
The phrase combines present simple 'it's' with 'got' (simple past), creating tense inconsistency. Use present simple 'get' to match habitual present. Also remove trailing conjunction 'and.'
× I prefer reading on a paper because it's really awesome when you have book, uh, and uh, I just like buying books, uh, on my, on my library at home.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because it's great to have a book, and I like buying books for my home library.
Use 'on paper' not 'on a paper'; 'awesome' can remain but 'great' is more natural. 'When you have book' lacks article: 'a book'. 'On my library' is incorrect preposition; use 'for my home library.' Remove fillers.'
× And uh, I don't actually like uh, reading on a PA on a screen 'cause it's not healthy for me.
✓ I don't actually like reading on a screen because it's not healthy for me.
Remove filler words and incorrect fragment 'on a PA'; use 'because' instead of colloquial ''cause', and ensure 'reading on a screen' is the correct phrase.'
× Uh, I try to read everything carefully, especially during a route while I go to university, uh, on a bus.
✓ I try to read everything carefully, especially during the commute when I go to university by bus.
'During a route' is unnatural; use 'during the commute' or 'on my commute.' 'While I go to university' is awkward; 'when I go to university' or 'on my way to university' is better. Use 'by bus' instead of 'on a bus' for habitual action; both are acceptable but 'by bus' is more idiomatic here.'
× I, uh, hang on my book and uh, try to read it, but because of the noise in the bus, it's really hard. So I tried to focus.
✓ I hold my book and try to read it, but because of the noise on the bus it's really hard, so I try to focus.
Mixing present ('hold', 'try') with past 'tried' creates tense inconsistency. Use present simple throughout for habitual actions: 'hold' (not 'hang on my book'), 'on the bus' is preferred preposition, and 'try to focus' matches present habitual context.'
× I do prefer detailed reading due to the fact that umm I can re read or understand everything uh word by word which helps me gain knowledge and uh pay attention to every small things.
✓ I prefer detailed reading because I can reread and understand everything word by word, which helps me gain knowledge and pay attention to every small thing.
Use 'prefer' (no need for 'do' unless for emphasis). 'Due to the fact that' can be simplified to 'because.' 'Reread' is one word. Use 'and' to connect verbs properly. 'Every small things' has a singular/plural error; use 'every small thing.' Also remove filler words and add commas for clarity.'
