Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

I love reading. I like to read about different countries, politics, economics, as well as different tourist attractions around the world and to a little extent different cuisines around the world.

Examiner

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

Candidate

To a big extent, I still prefer to read on physical paper rather than the screen, because reading on the paper is the only way that I can concentrate. While I'm reading what I'm reading on the screen, I get easily distracted by the advertisement and pop ups and so on.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I need to read extremely carefully while I'm doing my IELTS exam because if I not doing so, my score will go down. However, I don't really need to read carefully what I'm reading on my iPhone because I don't usually use iPhone for studying purposes.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

I prefer detailed reading rather than scanning because without detailed reading I'm unable to comprehend the entire topic. I think that thoughts understanding is always important, especially my own business.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant with a good range of topics, but it is slightly repetitive ("around the world" twice) and a bit long. Aim for one concise topic sentence followed by one specific supporting detail. Vary phrasing to avoid repetition and use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: Yes, I love reading. I often read about different countries and global politics, and I also enjoy articles about tourist attractions and world cuisines because they help me learn about cultures and travel ideas.

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

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Good clear preference and a solid reason. Reduce redundancy ("reading on the paper" / "reading on the screen" repeated) and tighten phrasing. Use one linking word and a concise example of the distraction to sound more natural.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because I can concentrate better. On screens I often get distracted by ads and pop-ups, which breaks my focus.

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

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Your response answers the question directly and gives reasons, but it has grammatical mistakes and awkward phrasing (e.g., "if I not doing so"). Use correct conditionals and a clearer contrast. Keep it concise and avoid unnecessary wording.

Example: I need to read very carefully during exams like the IELTS because missing details can lower my score. By contrast, I don't read as carefully on my iPhone since I use it mainly for casual browsing.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Your answer gives a reason but contains unclear phrasing ("thoughts understanding") and some grammar issues. Simplify the wording, use a linking word to show reason, and give a brief specific example of when detailed reading helps (e.g., for work or studying).

Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand a topic. For example, when I read reports for my business I need to focus on every detail to make good decisions.

Grammar

Verb in the present participle form

× I love reading. I like to read about different countries, politics, economics, as well as different tourist attractions around the world and to a little extent different cuisines around the world.

I love reading. I like reading about different countries, politics, economics, different tourist attractions around the world, and, to a lesser extent, different cuisines around the world.

The original mixes infinitive 'to read' and gerund 'reading' unevenly and uses awkward phrasing 'to a little extent'. Use a consistent gerund 'reading' after 'like' and replace 'to a little extent' with the clearer idiom 'to a lesser extent'. Also remove the repeated phrase 'around the world' repetition and add commas for clarity. Suggestion: keep parallel structure (like reading about X, Y, and Z).

Incorrect use of the definite article

× To a big extent, I still prefer to read on physical paper rather than the screen, because reading on the paper is the only way that I can concentrate.

To a large extent, I still prefer to read on physical paper rather than on a screen, because reading on paper is the only way I can concentrate.

Use 'on a screen' not 'the screen' when speaking generally. Similarly, use 'reading on paper' without 'the' for a general activity. 'To a big extent' is non-idiomatic; use 'to a large extent'. Also omit unnecessary 'that' and 'the' for natural English. Maintain parallel preposition 'on physical paper' and 'on a screen'.

Sentence structure errors

× While I'm reading what I'm reading on the screen, I get easily distracted by the advertisement and pop ups and so on.

While I'm reading on a screen, I get easily distracted by advertisements, pop-ups, and other things.

The phrase 'While I'm reading what I'm reading on the screen' is redundant. Simplify to 'While I'm reading on a screen'. Use plural 'advertisements' and hyphenate 'pop-ups'. Replace vague 'and so on' with 'and other things' or a specific example. This improves clarity and concision.

Present tense issue

× I need to read extremely carefully while I'm doing my IELTS exam because if I not doing so, my score will go down.

I need to read extremely carefully while I'm taking my IELTS exam because if I do not do so, my score will go down.

Use 'taking' rather than 'doing' for exams in standard English. The conditional clause is missing the auxiliary 'do' ('if I do not do so'). Maintain present progressive 'I'm taking' for the exam in progress and use 'do not do' for correct negative structure. Also 'my score will go down' is acceptable future result.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× However, I don't really need to read carefully what I'm reading on my iPhone because I don't usually use iPhone for studying purposes.

However, I don't really need to read carefully what I'm reading on my iPhone because I don't usually use my iPhone for study purposes.

Include the possessive 'my' before 'iPhone' the second time for correctness. Use 'for study purposes' rather than 'for studying purposes' for natural collocation. The original omitted 'my' and used a less natural prepositional phrase.

Verb in the present participle form

× I prefer detailed reading rather than scanning because without detailed reading I'm unable to comprehend the entire topic.

I prefer detailed reading rather than scanning because without detailed reading I am unable to comprehend the entire topic.

No major grammatical error beyond contraction form; expanded 'I'm' to 'I am' for formality is optional. The sentence is acceptable, but ensure consistent noun phrase 'detailed reading' for clarity. Maintain parallel structure.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I think that thoughts understanding is always important, especially my own business.

I think that understanding thoughts is always important, especially in my own business.

'Thoughts understanding' is incorrect word order; use 'understanding thoughts' or 'the understanding of thoughts'. Also 'my own business' needs a preposition 'in' to indicate context: 'especially in my own business'. This corrects noun order and preposition use.
