Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
Yes, of course. I'm really into reading when I have a free time, especially after work. And when I have a free time I just spend a lot on reading, especially in the topic like comics and science as well.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
I for me I tend to prefer the paper one as it's really a suit and can help reduce the my screen time as well and it's really kiva a traditional style of reading.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
Most of the time I practicing the English proficiency test, so I'm tend to reading a lot carefully and deeply. So yeah, especially when the examination I tend to reading quite a lot.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
Uh, it depends. Scanning is something like, uh, when I do the uh, reading test, especially for IL and just uh, doing more scanning technique. However, detailed reading is also impotent to understand it, uh, the deep understanding and detail inside it.
Do you like reading?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'free time' not 'a free time').
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially in my free time after work. For example, I often read science articles to learn about new discoveries and comics to relax, so I read both for learning and entertainment.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 56.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first and then one clear reason. Fix grammar and choose precise vocabulary (e.g., 'suits me', 'reduce my screen time', 'traditional'). Limit to two sentences and use a linking word like 'because'.
Example: I prefer reading on paper because it suits me and reduces my screen time. Also, I like the traditional feel of a physical book, which helps me concentrate better.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear contrast. Use correct verb forms and linking words (e.g., 'when' vs 'unless'). Be specific about situations requiring careful reading and give one example of when scanning is enough.
Example: I need to read carefully when I prepare for exams like English proficiency tests because I must understand every detail. But for everyday messages or news headlines, I usually skim to get the main idea quickly.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and avoid filler words (uh, like). Use linking words (however, because) and correct vocabulary ('important', 'IELTS'). Give one specific context for each method.
Example: It depends: I use scanning during timed tests like the IELTS because it helps locate answers quickly. However, I use detailed reading when I study articles or technical texts because I need to understand complex ideas fully.
× I'm really into reading when I have a free time, especially after work.
✓ I'm really into reading when I have free time, especially after work.
Use 'free time' without the article 'a' because 'free time' is an uncountable noun phrase referring to time in general. Remove the unnecessary 'a' to make the phrase natural. Suggestion: Say 'have free time' or 'have some free time'.
× And when I have a free time I just spend a lot on reading, especially in the topic like comics and science as well.
✓ And when I have free time I just spend a lot of it reading, especially on topics like comics and science.
Errors: unnecessary article 'a' before 'free time'; incorrect object after 'spend a lot on' — the correct pattern is 'spend a lot of time (doing something)' or 'spend a lot of it reading'. Preposition 'in the topic like' is incorrect; use 'on topics like'. Suggestion: Use 'spend a lot of time reading' or 'spend a lot of it reading, especially on topics like...'.
× I for me I tend to prefer the paper one as it's really a suit and can help reduce the my screen time as well and it's really kiva a traditional style of reading.
✓ I tend to prefer paper books because they're a good fit and can help reduce my screen time; it's a more traditional style of reading.
Errors: redundant pronoun phrase 'I for me I' — keep only one subject. 'the paper one' is awkward; use 'paper books' or 'paper versions'. 'a suit' is incorrect word choice; 'a good fit' or 'suitable' is appropriate. 'reduce the my screen time' has an extra article 'the' before 'my'. 'kiva' is not English; likely intended 'kind of' or 'quite'. Rephrase to natural English. Suggestion: Simplify subject, choose correct nouns ('paper books'), remove double articles, and use correct adjectives ('suitable' or 'a good fit').
× Most of the time I practicing the English proficiency test, so I'm tend to reading a lot carefully and deeply.
✓ Most of the time I practice for English proficiency tests, so I tend to read carefully and in depth.
Errors: 'I practicing' lacks auxiliary — should be 'I practice' or 'I'm practicing' depending on meaning; here habitual action uses simple present 'practice'. 'I'm tend to reading' mixes forms; use 'I tend to read'. 'a lot carefully and deeply' is awkward; 'read carefully and in depth' is clearer. Suggestion: Use simple present for habitual actions and follow 'tend to' with the base verb: 'tend to read'.
× So yeah, especially when the examination I tend to reading quite a lot.
✓ So yeah, especially during examinations I tend to read quite a lot.
Errors: missing preposition or wrong article—use 'during examinations' or 'during the examination'. 'I tend to reading' is incorrect; after 'tend to' use base form 'read'. Suggestion: Use 'during the examination' for a specific exam or 'during examinations' for exams in general; use 'tend to read'.
× Scanning is something like, uh, when I do the uh, reading test, especially for IL and just uh, doing more scanning technique.
✓ Scanning is, for example, when I take reading tests, especially for IELTS, and I use more scanning techniques.
Errors: 'when I do the reading test' is acceptable but 'do' is informal; 'take' is better collocation. Acronym 'IL' unclear—likely 'IELTS'. 'doing more scanning technique' mixes '-ing' incorrectly and singular/plural; use 'use scanning techniques' or 'use more scanning technique' is incorrect number. Follow 'use' + plural 'techniques' if multiple techniques. Suggestion: Use correct verb collocations ('take a test'), correct acronym, and 'use' plus noun phrase ('use scanning techniques').
× However, detailed reading is also impotent to understand it, uh, the deep understanding and detail inside it.
✓ However, detailed reading is also important for gaining a deep understanding of the details.
Errors: 'impotent' is the wrong word; intended 'important'. 'important to understand it, the deep understanding and detail inside it' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use 'important for gaining a deep understanding of the details' or 'important to understand the details'. Suggestion: Choose the correct adjective ('important') and a concise, grammatical phrase such as 'important for gaining a deep understanding'.
