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

Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

It depends on the topics and which one or the skill towards 3 days or to read us. But there's also the time where I need to improve and do that. For example, if the idea is quite hard for me to understand it, then you might need to do a detailed.
Do you like reading?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and specific examples. Start by saying simply whether you like reading, then name the types you prefer and explain why with one or two concise reasons. Avoid fillers (e.g., “MMM”) and incorrect word forms (e.g., “offer fiction”). Use linking words like ‘because’ and ‘for example’.
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I prefer non-fiction books, especially financial books and self-improvement guides, because they relate to my daily life and I can apply the ideas practically. For example, I recently read a personal finance book that helped me create a monthly budget.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Give a concise topic sentence, then provide two clear reasons using linking words. Correct common errors: use ‘prefer reading on paper’ and avoid repetition. Replace vague phrases like ‘They are all’ with specific details. Mention one brief example to support your preference.
Example: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because I can concentrate better and avoid digital notifications. For example, when I read a paperback I usually turn off my phone and focus for an hour, so I understand the material more deeply.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Start with a clear statement about when careful reading is necessary, then contrast with when skimming is acceptable. Use correct grammar (e.g., ‘I need to read carefully when I follow instructions or guidelines’) and give a concrete example. Avoid vague or repetitive phrases.
Example: I need to read carefully when I am following instructions or legal guidelines, because mistakes can cause problems. For instance, when assembling furniture I read each step slowly. By contrast, I skim articles or news when I only want a general idea.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first (e.g., ‘It depends’) and immediately explain the conditions with clear linking words (‘if… then…’). Correct unclear and ungrammatical phrases. Provide a specific example contrasting when you scan and when you read in detail.
Example: It depends on the purpose: I scan when I want an overview, but I read in detail when the topic is difficult or important. For example, I scan news articles for headlines, but I read journal articles carefully when researching for a project.
× MMM I specifically like non fiction group offer fiction books.
✓ MMM I specifically like non-fiction books rather than fiction books.
The original sentence uses incorrect and confusing words ('group offer') and lacks a hyphen in 'non-fiction'. Corrected sentence replaces the wrong phrase with 'rather than' to contrast non-fiction and fiction, and uses the adjective 'non-fiction' correctly. Suggestion: use clear comparative connectors (rather than) and correct adjective forms (non-fiction).
× I think it's because it's somehow relate to my daily life and I can apply it into my daily life.
✓ I think it's because it somehow relates to my daily life and I can apply it to my daily life.
Subject-verb agreement and preposition errors: 'it' is singular so the verb needs third-person singular 'relates'. Also 'apply into' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'apply to'. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject and use standard collocations ('apply to').
× I like reading financial books, self improvement books.
✓ I like reading financial books and self-improvement books.
List punctuation and hyphenation: use 'and' to connect items in a list and hyphenate the compound adjective 'self-improvement'. Suggestion: join parallel items with a conjunction and hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns.
× I do prefer to read on a paper.
✓ I do prefer to read on paper.
The definite/indefinite article 'a' is unnecessary before uncountable medium 'paper' used in the sense of 'paper format'. Remove 'a'. Suggestion: omit articles with materials or media when speaking generally ('read on paper').
× The reason is that I tend to more focus when I read a paper book rather than a screenbook on the screen.
✓ The reason is that I tend to focus more when I read a paper book rather than when I read on a screen.
Adverb placement and awkward noun 'screenbook': place 'more' after the verb 'focus' ('focus more'). Replace 'screenbook' with 'read on a screen' and parallelize the comparison with 'rather than when I read on a screen'. Suggestion: place adverbs correctly and keep parallel structure in comparisons.
× They are all.
✓ (Delete this fragment.)
This fragment 'They are all.' is incomplete and unclear in context; it appears redundant. Suggestion: remove unnecessary fragments that do not add meaning.
× The reason is that because there is a lot of notification when you are reading through screen.
✓ The reason is that there are a lot of notifications when you are reading on a screen.
Redundant conjunctions: 'The reason is that because' repeats cause markers; use one ('The reason is that' or 'Because'). Also subject-verb agreement: 'a lot of notifications' requires plural verb 'are'. Use 'on a screen' for medium and plural 'notifications'. Suggestion: avoid redundant conjunctions and match verb number to noun.
× I need to read carefully when I read an instruction that I need the following or guidelines.
✓ I need to read carefully when I read instructions or guidelines that I need to follow.
Word order and verb form: 'the following' is incorrect; intended meaning is 'follow'. Use plural 'instructions or guidelines' and the verb 'follow' rather than 'the following'. Suggestion: use correct verb forms and pluralize countable nouns when appropriate.
× I am particularly need to read carefully when I read and look for fun or for everything only.
✓ I particularly need to read carefully when I read for information rather than for fun.
Awkward phrasing and incorrect auxiliary: 'I am particularly need' should be 'I particularly need'. The latter part is unclear; likely contrast between reading for information and reading for fun—rephrase accordingly. Suggestion: simplify structure to 'I particularly need to read carefully when I read for information rather than for fun.'
× It depends on the topics and which one or the skill towards 3 days or to read us.
✓ It depends on the topic and the purpose or the skills I need to use.
This sentence is confused and ungrammatical. 'Which one or the skill towards 3 days or to read us' is unintelligible. A likely intended meaning: choice depends on topic, purpose, and required skills. Suggestion: express the idea simply: 'It depends on the topic and the purpose or the skills required.'
× But there's also the time where I need to improve and do that.
✓ But there are also times when I need to slow down and do that carefully.
Number agreement and clarity: 'there's' singular is awkward for plural 'times'—use 'there are also times'. 'Improve and do that' is vague; clarified to 'slow down and do that carefully' to match meaning. Suggestion: match 'there are' with plural 'times' and choose clear verbs.
× For example, if the idea is quite hard for me to understand it, then you might need to do a detailed.
✓ For example, if an idea is quite hard for me to understand, then I might need to read it in detail.
Pronoun consistency and noun form: avoid repeating 'it' unnecessarily; 'do a detailed' is incorrect—use 'read it in detail' or 'do a detailed reading'. Also change 'you' to 'I' to keep speaker perspective. Suggestion: use correct noun phrases ('a detailed reading') or adverbial phrases ('in detail') and keep pronouns consistent with the subject.
