Examinador
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidato
I prefer to read on paper. If read on the screen, I cannot mark mark the lines on the word and I cannot look up the words directly. But on the paper it is, uh, how to say it's?
Examinador
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidato
I have to read carefully when I study for the important exam. Actually I am no good at studying so I trust on the uh my books perfectly and I can look up the everything from the books so I concentrate on.
Examinador
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidato
I like detailed reading, I'm no good at reading so quickly and I I want to concentrate on its own words and look up when I ha. I find the worst UN unclear words and I can enjoy it. It's not only the story battle so it's meaning.
Do you like reading?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details. Avoid repetition and filler words, and correct grammar (e.g. “I have time” not “I have a time”). Use linking words like “so” or “and” to connect ideas.
Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. I own many books and usually read slowly, often having several books on the go at once, so when I finish one I can immediately start another.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: Give a clear reasoned response: state your preference, then give two specific reasons with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid hesitations and repeated words.
Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I can easily underline or annotate passages, and I find it quicker to look up unfamiliar words in a dictionary while reading a physical book.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Organize your answer: begin with a direct statement about when careful reading is necessary, then explain why with specific details. Fix grammar (e.g. “I am not good at studying” and “I rely on my books”). Use linking words like “because” or “so”.
Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when preparing for important exams because I rely on my textbooks to learn facts and I often look up unfamiliar terms, so I concentrate intently to make sure I understand everything.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: Be clearer and more grammatical: state your preference, then give precise reasons and one example. Replace informal phrases and fix sentence structure. Use linking words like “because” and “for example”.
Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because I read slowly and like to focus on each word; for example, I often stop to look up unclear words so I can understand the meaning rather than just following the plot.
× I have many books and I have a time.
✓ I have many books and I have time.
The phrase 'a time' implies a single, specific occasion and is unnatural here. Use the uncountable noun 'time' to express having free time. Suggestion: remove the article 'a' when referring to time in general.
× I read a book gradually and I stopped uh, always a few books because if I finished it, finished reading it, I I want to start the next reading.
✓ I read books gradually and I usually stop several books because when I finish reading one, I want to start the next.
Problems include incorrect tense forms and awkward phrasing. 'Stopped' and 'finished' were mixed inappropriately; use simple present or present simple for habitual actions (I read; I usually stop). 'Always a few books' is incorrect plural/quantity expression; use 'several books'. 'Start the next reading' is unnatural; use 'start the next (one/book)'. Suggestion: use consistent tense (simple present) for habits and clearer quantifiers.
× If read on the screen, I cannot mark mark the lines on the word and I cannot look up the words directly.
✓ If I read on a screen, I cannot mark the lines on the page or look up words directly.
Missing subject 'I' before 'read' and incorrect preposition 'on the word' should be 'on the page'. Also use 'a screen' (general reference) and simplify 'look up the words directly' to 'look up words directly'. Suggestion: include the subject, use correct nouns for context (page), and use articles appropriately.
× But on the paper it is, uh, how to say it's?
✓ But on paper it is, uh, how can I say it?
Article misuse: 'on the paper' is acceptable in some contexts but 'on paper' (general medium) is more natural. The phrase 'how to say it's?' is ungrammatical; use 'how can I say it?' Suggestion: use natural idiomatic phrase 'on paper' and a correct question form for 'how to express this.'
× I have to read carefully when I study for the important exam.
✓ I have to read carefully when I study for an important exam.
Use of the definite article 'the' implies a specific exam known to the listener; 'an important exam' is more general and fits context. Also present tense 'have to' and 'study' are correct for habitual or future obligation. Suggestion: choose articles according to specificity.
× Actually I am no good at studying so I trust on the uh my books perfectly and I can look up the everything from the books so I concentrate on.
✓ Actually I am not good at studying, so I rely on my books completely and can look up everything in them, so I can concentrate.
Multiple pronoun and collocation errors: 'I am no good' should be 'I am not good'; 'trust on' is incorrect collocation — use 'rely on' or 'trust' without 'on'; 'the uh my books' mixes articles and pronouns; 'look up the everything' incorrect order — use 'look up everything'; 'from the books' should be 'in them' or 'in the books'; sentence ending 'so I concentrate on' is incomplete — complete with object or rephrase. Suggestion: use correct negation, proper collocations, consistent pronouns, and complete the clause.
× I like detailed reading, I'm no good at reading so quickly and I I want to concentrate on its own words and look up when I ha.
✓ I like detailed reading; I'm not good at reading quickly and I want to concentrate on the words and look things up when I have to.
Negation 'no good' should be 'not good'; 'reading so quickly' word order improved to 'reading quickly'; 'its own words' is unclear — use 'the words' or 'the language'; 'look up when I ha' is incomplete — likely 'when I have to'. Suggestion: correct negation, complete clauses, and use clear nouns.
× I find the worst UN unclear words and I can enjoy it.
✓ I encounter unclear words and I can enjoy the text.
The phrase 'the worst UN unclear words' is ungrammatical and unclear. Possibly 'find the worst/unfamiliar unclear words' was intended; simplify to 'encounter unclear words'. 'I can enjoy it' — specify 'the text' for clarity. Suggestion: remove unclear fragments and use clear, direct expressions.
× It's not only the story battle so it's meaning.
✓ It's not only about the story's plot, but also its meaning.
'Story battle' is incorrect collocation; likely 'story plot' or 'plot'. 'So it's meaning' is ungrammatical; use 'but also its meaning' to show contrast. Suggestion: use correct nouns (plot, story) and conjunctions for contrast.
