Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

Yes, I really enjoy reading. I read a lot of manga and detective novels. Recently I've been exchanging manga with my sister and reading them together.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I prefer paper books to digital ones because staring at a screen for long time makes my eyes tired.

Examiner

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

Candidate

When I'm reading detective novels, I read very carefully because I enjoy trying to guess who the culprit is. In contrast, when I read newspapers, I don't need read them very carefully and I usually focus only on the headlines.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

I prefer detailed reading rather than scanning because I usually miss important information when I read too fast. I'm not very good at skimming, so I take my time to read carefully.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 86.0

Suggestion: もっと具体的な理由や感情、例を加えて自然さと説得力を高めましょう。たとえば、なぜ漫画や推理小説が好きか(登場人物に共感する、筋が面白い、絵が魅力的など)、姉と読むときの具体的な活動(貸し借りの頻度や一緒に話し合うこと)を短く付け加えると良いです。また、文は簡潔に保ち、冗長な表現を避けてください。

Example: Yes, I really enjoy reading because stories help me relax and think. I especially like manga for the artwork and detective novels for their clever plots. For example, my sister and I swap volumes every week and discuss unexpected twists together.

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

Score: 79.0

Suggestion: 理由は示せていますが、詳細な説明や比較を加えて説得力を上げましょう。また、接続詞を使って構成を明確にするとよいです(例えば “because” に続けてさらに結果や対策を述べる)。可能なら具体的な状況(通勤中、就寝前など)を入れると良いです。

Example: I prefer paper books to digital ones because staring at screens for a long time strains my eyes. Also, I find paper easier to flip through when I want to review passages, especially before bed.

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

Score: 88.0

Suggestion: 質問に直接答え、対比もできています。さらに具体性を高めるために、『どんな手がかりに注目するか』や『どの新聞記事は詳細に読むか』など例を付け加えてください。接続語(例えば “on the other hand”)を使うとより自然になります。

Example: I need to read detective novels carefully because I pay attention to small clues and character behaviour to guess the culprit. On the other hand, I usually skim newspapers and read only headlines or major stories unless an article interests me.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 90.0

Suggestion: はっきりした意見と理由があり良いです。さらに説得力を出すために、具体的な状況(例えば試験勉強や趣味の読書での読み方の違い)や、スキミングが必要な場合の対処法(速読の練習やメモを取る)を短く加えるとより実践的です。

Example: I prefer detailed reading because I often miss key points when I go too fast. For example, when studying for exams I read slowly and take notes, while for light online articles I might scan the headings briefly.

Grammar

Verb in the present participle form

× I prefer paper books to digital ones because staring at a screen for long time makes my eyes tired.

I prefer paper books to digital ones because staring at a screen for a long time makes my eyes tired.

The phrase 'for long time' is missing the article 'a' before 'long time'. Use 'for a long time' to indicate duration. Suggestion: include the article 'a' when describing an unspecified duration ('for a long time').

Verb in the present participle form

× When I'm reading detective novels, I read very carefully because I enjoy trying to guess who the culprit is.

When I'm reading detective novels, I read very carefully because I enjoy trying to guess who the culprit is.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no changes necessary. Explanation: 'When I'm reading' correctly uses the present continuous to indicate an action in progress, and 'trying to guess' correctly uses the -ing form after 'enjoy'. Keep using the -ing form after verbs like 'enjoy'.

Sentence structure errors

× In contrast, when I read newspapers, I don't need read them very carefully and I usually focus only on the headlines.

In contrast, when I read newspapers, I don't need to read them very carefully and I usually focus only on the headlines.

The verb phrase 'need' when followed by another verb requires the infinitive with 'to' in this context: 'need to read'. Omission of 'to' is incorrect in Standard English. Suggestion: use 'need to + base verb' for obligations or necessities ('don't need to read').
