Score: 65.0Suggestion: 回答要更自然并避免语法错误与冗余。开头可直接肯定,然后用一到两句话具体说明频率或习惯,注意冠词、时态和单复数。尽量去掉多余的填充词(如“uh”)。
Example: Yes, I love reading. I’m a big fan and I often visit the bookstore when I have free time to browse the latest releases.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 用更自然的表达并避免重复。说明原因时用具体词汇,例如“get the full picture”或“catch all important details”。保持句子简洁并用连接词。
Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me get the full picture and notice important details that I would miss if I skimmed.
× I am big fan of reading and when I have some free time I often go to the bookstore in order to read some latest book.
✓ I am a big fan of reading and when I have some free time I often go to the bookstore in order to read some latest books.
原句缺少不定冠词“a”,名词“book”与“some/latest”连用时应使用复数。建议在“big fan”前加“a”,并将“book”改为复数“books”。
× I prefer read on screen.
✓ I prefer reading on a screen.
动词prefer后通常接动名词或不定式,英式与美式皆可,但更常见和自然的是动名词形式“prefer reading”。此外“screen”前加不定冠词“a”更自然。
× In the past I prefer read on paper because read paper book can give me a sense of peace.
✓ In the past I preferred reading on paper because reading paper books could give me a sense of peace.
描述过去的习惯应使用过去时“preferred”;同样“prefer”后用动名词“reading”。“read paper book”结构不正确,应为“reading paper books”。情态动词表达过去感受用“could”更合适。
× But nowadays I prefer to read on the screen.
✓ But nowadays I prefer reading on the screen.
此处為同一结构,prefer可接动名词或不定式,保持一致性用动名词“reading”更自然。
× Well, when I read some instruction of a laptop, I need to read carefully because I need to know the what function it is.
✓ Well, when I read some instructions for a laptop, I need to read carefully because I need to know what function it is.
“instruction”应为可数复数“instructions”;介词搭配应为“instructions for a laptop”。“the what function”冗余错误,应删去“the”。保持“read”原形可以,但上下文可用“read the instructions”。
× But when I read novels, I read it quickly.
✓ But when I read novels, I read them quickly.
“novels”为复数,代词应使用复数“them”而非单数“it”。
× I prefer detail reading because if you read some, uh, things carefully, maybe you can know the whole information.
✓ I prefer detailed reading because if you read some things carefully, you may understand the whole piece of information.
形容词“detail”应为“detailed”修饰“reading”。“maybe you can know”搭配不自然,用“you may understand”更符合英语表达。“whole information”应为“the whole piece of information”或直接“all the information”。
× Uh, so I prefer to detail reading. I prefer detail reading.
✓ Uh, so I prefer detailed reading. I prefer detailed reading.
同上,形容词应为“detailed”;“prefer to detail reading”语法错误,动词prefer之后接动名词或不定式,本句使用动名词并修正形容词。
