Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

To be honest, I don't really like reading. I prefer watching news or video on YouTube. I saw those activities are more amusing and relaxers done reading.

Examiner

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

Candidate

I usually read things on screens because I find it more convenient to carry many books at once and although I can adjust the front so it's easy for me to read. However, if this come to study, uh subjects, I'm also.

Examiner

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

Candidate

I would say that it depends on situations. If I at work, I need to raise everything carefully because I need to make sure that I understand all the emails sent to me. However, and for that advertisement, I think I don't need to to to read it carefully.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

I would say the same thing. It depends. If that article is something important, I'd rather read it carefully, so I would make myself umm, make sure that myself understand the meaning of that article. But if it's something that's important, not important, so I probably I'll scan it.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two clear reasons with specific examples. Avoid grammatical errors and redundancy (e.g., "relaxers done reading"). Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Example: I don't really enjoy reading. I prefer watching news or videos on YouTube because they feel more entertaining and relaxing. For example, I can quickly catch up on current events with short clips, so it suits my busy schedule.

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and complete your thought. Fix grammar and word choice (e.g., "fonts" not "front", "when it comes to" not "if this come to"). Use linking words like "but" or "however" to show contrast and provide a specific example of when you choose paper instead.

Example: I usually prefer reading on a screen because it's more convenient and I can adjust the font size for comfort. However, when I'm studying for exams, I prefer paper books because I find it easier to take notes and highlight important passages.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Be direct and correct grammar. Begin with a clear statement, then contrast the two situations using linking words like "when" and "but". Provide a specific example of a work document versus casual material such as ads.

Example: It depends on the situation: when I'm at work I have to read carefully because misreading an email could cause mistakes. But for advertisements or short social media posts, I usually just skim them because they are not important.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear, concise answer with correct grammar and no repetition. Use linking words like "if... then..." and give specific criteria for what makes an article "important." Avoid filler words like "umm."

Example: It depends: if an article is important—such as research for my work or an in-depth news analysis—I read it carefully to fully understand the details. If it's just casual or short content, I usually scan it to get the main points quickly.

Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I prefer watching news or video on YouTube.

I prefer watching news or videos on YouTube.

The noun 'video' should be plural ('videos') because it refers to countable items in general. Use the plural when speaking about videos in general contexts. Suggestion: use 'videos' or 'video content.'

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I saw those activities are more amusing and relaxers done reading.

I find those activities more amusing and relaxing than reading.

Multiple errors: 'saw' is the wrong verb here; use 'find' to express opinion. 'Relaxers' is incorrect as an adjective; the correct adjective form is 'relaxing.' Also use the comparative structure 'more... than' when comparing. Suggestion: use 'I find those activities more amusing and relaxing than reading.'

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I usually read things on screens because I find it more convenient to carry many books at once and although I can adjust the front so it's easy for me to read.

I usually read things on screens because I find it more convenient than carrying many books, and I can adjust the font so it's easy for me to read.

Several issues: 'it' is vague; compare screens and carrying books using 'more convenient than.' 'front' is a misspelling of 'font.' The clause order and conjunction use were awkward—remove 'although' since it conflicted with the sentence. Suggestion: use clear comparison words and correct spelling ('font').

Sentence structure errors

× However, if this come to study, uh subjects, I'm also.

However, if it comes to studying subjects, I do as well.

Errors include verb form ('come' should be 'comes' for third person singular) and gerund use ('studying' instead of 'to study'), and an incomplete clause ('I'm also' is awkward and incomplete). Suggestion: use 'if it comes to' + noun/gerund and complete the idea ('I do as well').

Subject-verb agreement errors

× I would say that it depends on situations.

I would say that it depends on the situation.

Use singular 'the situation' or plural with 'situations' without 'on'—common phrasing is 'depends on the situation.' The original phrasing is non-idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'depends on the situation' or 'depends on the situations.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× If I at work, I need to raise everything carefully because I need to make sure that I understand all the emails sent to me.

If I am at work, I need to read everything carefully because I need to make sure that I understand all the emails sent to me.

Missing verb 'am' after 'I' and wrong verb 'raise' should be 'read.' Preposition use 'at work' is fine. Suggestion: include the verb 'am' and use the correct verb 'read.'

Incorrect use of conjunctions

× However, and for that advertisement, I think I don't need to to to read it carefully.

However, for advertisements, I don't think I need to read them carefully.

Unnecessary 'and' and repeated 'to' words removed; 'advertisement' generalized to plural 'advertisements' to match 'them.' Also adjust word order for natural English: 'I don't think I need to read them carefully.' Suggestion: avoid redundant conjunctions and repeated words, and match plurality.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I would say the same thing.

I would say the same.

'The same thing' is not incorrect but wordier; 'the same' is more natural here. This is a style/word choice improvement rather than strict grammar. Suggestion: prefer concise phrasing 'I would say the same.'

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× If that article is something important, I'd rather read it carefully, so I would make myself umm, make sure that myself understand the meaning of that article.

If an article is important, I'd rather read it carefully so I can make sure I understand its meaning.

Problems: 'that article is something important' is awkward—use 'an article is important.' 'Make myself... make sure that myself understand' uses incorrect reflexive pronoun and wordy phrasing; use 'so I can make sure I understand its meaning.' Also change 'that article' to 'its meaning' for clarity. Suggestion: use concise subject pronouns and correct word order.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× But if it's something that's important, not important, so I probably I'll scan it.

But if it's not important, I'll probably scan it.

Original is contradictory and repetitive. Simplify to one condition: 'if it's not important.' Also order 'I'll probably' instead of 'I probably I'll.' Suggestion: avoid redundancy and use correct auxiliary + adverb order ('I'll probably').
