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

Candidate

I think it's situation based. I read carefully when it is academic related and I read it in a normal way without any without focusing on much details when I'm reading manga or any other thing. But I do focus on pictures or drawings which are on the manga piece.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and reduce hesitations and filler words. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'particularly' instead of 'specially'). Keep to a maximum of 4–5 short sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, particularly adventure and thriller novels. I also like murder mysteries because I enjoy trying to solve the puzzle before the ending. I read regularly, usually a few times a week, because it helps me relax and improve my vocabulary.

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

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar errors and clarify meaning. Use a clear topic sentence stating preference, then give a specific reason with a linking word (e.g., 'because' or 'so'). Avoid incorrect words like 'ingredient'. Keep sentences short and accurate.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it is gentler on my eyes. For example, when I read manga on a screen recently, my eyes became very sore, so I try to use paper editions when possible.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Provide a clearer structure: state the general rule, then give two specific examples linked by words like 'for instance' or 'however'. Fix grammar (e.g., 'situation-based', 'academically related', 'without focusing on details'). Be specific about what 'reading carefully' involves.

Example: It depends on the purpose: I read carefully when the material is academic because I need to understand and remember details. However, when I read manga for pleasure, I skim the text and focus more on the illustrations to enjoy the story quickly.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Use precise terms and avoid mispronunciations (e.g., 'skimming' not 'scheming'). Start with a direct topic sentence stating your general approach, then give clear examples of when you skim vs. read in detail. Use linking words like 'for example' and correct grammar.

Example: I choose between skimming and detailed reading depending on the text. For example, I skim articles or light fiction to get the main idea, but I read textbooks and research papers in detail because they require close analysis and note-taking.

Grammar

Adverb vs adjective (use of specially)

× Yes, I do like reading.

Yes, I do like reading.

No grammatical error that matches the provided list; sentence is fine. Keep as is.

Incorrect use of adverbs/adjectives (ID 13)

× I specially read, uh, books which are, uh, which are related to the genre of adventure and thrill.

I especially read books that are related to the adventure and thriller genres.

'Specially' is usually used to mean 'for a special purpose'; 'especially' is the correct adverb to indicate preference. Use 'that' or 'which' to introduce a defining relative clause without repeating 'which are'. 'Adventure and thriller' should be pluralized as 'genres' and 'thriller' is the correct noun form rather than 'thrill'. Suggestion: replace 'specially' with 'especially', remove repeated clauses, and use 'genres'.

Sentence structure errors (ID 26)

× Also, I like murder mysteries.

I also like murder mysteries.

Placement of 'also' is more natural before the verb for emphasis and smoother sentence flow. No other grammatical change needed.

Present tense issue (ID 6)

× I frequently read and umm, I think it's a good habit.

I frequently read, and I think it's a good habit.

Original is acceptable colloquially, but remove filler 'umm' and add a comma for clarity. Tense and structure are appropriate.

Third person singular issue (ID 2)

× I prefer to read on paper as my eyes does not get sore as compared to when I ingredient from the screen.

I prefer to read on paper because my eyes do not get sore compared to when I read from a screen.

Several issues: 'does' is incorrect with plural subject 'eyes' — use 'do' (subject-verb agreement). 'As compared to' is wordy; 'compared to' or 'than when' is better. 'Ingredient' is incorrect word choice; should be 'read'. Use 'because' to show reason and reorder for natural English.

Past tense issue (ID 5)

× Uh I recently read my manga from screen and it made my eyes very sore.

I recently read a manga on a screen, and it made my eyes very sore.

Use 'on a screen' rather than 'from screen' for natural preposition use (ID 11). Add article 'a' before 'manga'. The past tense 'read' is correct (pronounced 'red' in past) and 'made' correctly expresses result. Also add comma before conjunction for clarity.

There be issue (ID 3)

× I think it's situation based.

I think it's situational.

'Situation based' is an adjective phrase but more idiomatically 'situational' is used. This matches adjective use (ID 13) and structure. Suggest using 'situational' or 'dependent on the situation'.

Verb + -ing form (ID 8)

× I read carefully when it is academic related and I read it in a normal way without any without focusing on much details when I'm reading manga or any other thing.

I read carefully when it is academic, and I read in a normal way without focusing on many details when I'm reading manga or other things.

Problems: 'academic related' should be 'academic' or 'related to academics' (adjective form). Remove duplicate 'without'. Use 'many details' rather than 'much details' (countable plural needs 'many', quantifier error ID 14). 'Read it' is unnecessary; 'read' suffices. 'Any other thing' is better as 'other things'.

Incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11)

× But I do focus on pictures or drawings which are on the manga piece.

But I do focus on the pictures or drawings in the manga.

Use 'in the manga' rather than 'on the manga piece' for natural preposition and noun use. Include definite article 'the' before 'pictures' for specificity (article error ID 22). 'Manga piece' is awkward; 'manga' alone suffices.

Sentence structure errors (ID 26)

× I do these activities, uh, according to the book I'm reading.

I do these things depending on the book I'm reading.

'Activities' is okay but 'things' or 'reading strategies' is more natural. Replace filler 'uh' and use 'depending on' instead of 'according to' for intended meaning.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs (ID 13)

× Some things can be understood by scheming or scanning alone, but some rates, some requires, umm, detailed analysis.

Some things can be understood by skimming or scanning alone, but some require detailed analysis.

'Scheming' is wrong word; correct is 'skimming' (to read quickly). 'Some rates, some requires' is ungrammatical; use 'some require' (subject-verb agreement ID 27). Remove filler 'umm' and extra commas. 'Require' should be plural subject with base verb.
