Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

Yes, I really enjoy reading because I can get a lot of knowledge from the books. Also, I can discuss the story with my friend and it can improve our friendship. Especially I like the topic of psychology and biology.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I preferred reading on paper because I can highlight the importances on the books. Also if I want to read that I don't need Internet that I can read by papers. So I will intend to read on books.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I need to read carefully when I study for exams because I need to memorize a lot of highlights on my textbooks. But if I just read some comics or some magazines that I just appreciate, appreciate randomly.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

Actually I prefer scanning because most of time I don't have. Too much time for reading those details carefully, so I prefer reading guideline at first.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and gives reasons and personal preference, but it has minor grammar errors and could be more concise and natural. Use one clear topic sentence, then give two brief supporting details using linking words. Correct tense and article use (e.g., 'books' → 'books' is fine but 'the books' unnecessary) and plural/singular agreement. Replace vague phrases like 'a lot of knowledge' with more specific terms.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I read a lot of non-fiction, especially psychology and biology, because these books help me understand human behaviour and life sciences. Also, discussing stories with my friends often leads to deeper conversations and strengthens our friendship.

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

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Your answer expresses preference but has tense and word choice errors and some redundancy. Use present tense for general preferences ('I prefer'). Be specific about reasons and use linking words (because, and, so). Use correct collocations: 'highlight important points', 'read on paper', 'I don't need the Internet'. Keep it to 2–3 concise sentences.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because I can highlight important points and make notes in the margins. Also, paper books don't require the Internet or battery power, so they are more reliable when I want to read.

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

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Good contrast between careful and casual reading, but avoid repetition and awkward phrasing. Use clearer linking (for example, 'when' and 'but') and more natural expressions: 'memorize important points', 'skim magazines or comics for enjoyment'. Limit to 2–3 sentences and correct redundancy ('appreciate, appreciate').

Example: I need to read carefully when I'm studying for exams because I must memorise important points and understand concepts in my textbooks. But when I read comics or magazines, I usually skim them for fun and don't focus on every detail.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Your meaning is clear, but the sentence structure and grammar need fixing. Use present tense and smooth linking: 'because I don't have much time, so I usually scan first'. Avoid fragments ('I don't have. Too much time'). Be more specific: say you scan to find key points and only read in detail when necessary.

Example: I prefer scanning because I usually don't have much time, so I quickly look for key points or a guideline. If something seems important, I will then read that section in detail.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Yes, I really enjoy reading because I can get a lot of knowledge from the books.

Yes, I really enjoy reading because I can get a lot of knowledge from books.

Use of the definite article 'the' before 'books' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Replace 'the books' with 'books' to indicate books in general (Grammar problem type ID 6). Suggestion: omit 'the' when referring to a general category.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Also, I can discuss the story with my friend and it can improve our friendship.

Also, I can discuss stories with my friends and that can improve our friendships.

Singular 'the story' and singular 'my friend' imply one story and one friend, which is unnatural when speaking generally. Also, 'it' referring to plural actions is unclear. Use plural 'stories' and 'friends' and change 'it' to 'that' to refer to the action (Grammar problem type ID 12). Suggestion: match number and make pronoun reference clear.

Incorrect use of articles

× Especially I like the topic of psychology and biology.

I especially like topics such as psychology and biology.

'The topic of psychology and biology' is awkward because 'psychology' and 'biology' are fields, not a single topic; 'the' is unnecessary. Rephrase to 'topics such as' for clarity and naturalness (Grammar problem type ID 22). Suggestion: use plural 'topics' and 'such as' to list fields.

Past tense issue

× I preferred reading on paper because I can highlight the importances on the books.

I prefer reading on paper because I can highlight important points in books.

Mixes past tense 'preferred' with present 'can'; the speaker states a general preference, so use present 'prefer'. 'Importances' is incorrect noun form; use 'important points'. Also replace 'on the books' with 'in books' for correct preposition (Grammar problem type ID 5). Suggestion: keep consistent present tense and use correct nouns and prepositions.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Also if I want to read that I don't need Internet that I can read by papers.

Also, if I want to read, I don't need the Internet; I can read on paper.

Sentence has several issues: incorrect conjunctions and prepositions. Use comma after 'Also', remove extra 'that', use 'the Internet' and 'on paper' rather than 'by papers'. This is mainly a preposition and article error (Grammar problem type ID 11). Suggestion: simplify sentence: 'if I want to read, I don't need the Internet; I can read on paper.'

Future tense issue

× So I will intend to read on books.

So I intend to read books in that format.

'Will intend' is awkward - intention is better expressed in present 'I intend'. Also 'on books' is incorrect preposition; use 'read books' or 'read in that format'. This matches future/intent meaning but uses present simple for intention (Grammar problem type ID 7). Suggestion: use 'I intend to read books' or 'I will read books in that format.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I need to read carefully when I study for exams because I need to memorize a lot of highlights on my textbooks.

I need to read carefully when I study for exams because I need to memorize many key points in my textbooks.

Use 'in my textbooks' rather than 'on', and 'highlights' is not the best noun; 'key points' or 'important points' is clearer. Also 'a lot of' replaced with 'many' for conciseness (Grammar problem type ID 11). Suggestion: use 'in' with books and prefer 'key points'.

Sentence structure errors

× But if I just read some comics or some magazines that I just appreciate, appreciate randomly.

But if I just read comics or magazines for enjoyment, I read them casually.

Original sentence repeats 'appreciate' and uses 'that' incorrectly, creating an awkward structure. Simplify to 'for enjoyment' and 'read them casually' to convey casual reading. This is a sentence structure issue (Grammar problem type ID 26). Suggestion: avoid repetition and use clear adverbial phrases.

Present tense issue

× Actually I prefer scanning because most of time I don't have.

Actually, I prefer scanning because most of the time I don't have enough time.

The clause 'most of time I don't have' is incomplete; add 'of the' and complete the idea with 'enough time'. This is present tense/general time expression correction (Grammar problem type ID 6). Suggestion: use 'most of the time' and finish the clause.

Incorrect use of articles

× Too much time for reading those details carefully, so I prefer reading guideline at first.

I don't have enough time to read those details carefully, so I prefer to read a guideline first.

Sentence fragment 'Too much time for reading...' lacks subject and verb. Also 'reading guideline' needs an article and infinitive form 'to read'. Correct to a full sentence 'I don't have enough time...' and 'a guideline' (Grammar problem type ID 22). Suggestion: use complete clause with subject and verb and include articles where needed.
