Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
Yes, I do like reading. I especially like fictional stories because it's kinda like my escape from the reality. I like romance, horror, ROM com and fairy tale kinds Fairy tale genre in books.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
I prefer to read on paper than on screen because I really enjoy the feel of real pages and it makes the reading more immersive. Also, when I am reading on book, it makes me more focused and less distracted than I do with digital devices.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
I need to read carefully, especially if I am reading a direction of a quiz or an instruction, because if you don't follow an instruction you will be doomed to fail an exam or a recipe of a book, for example.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
It actually depends. When I am reading a news, an article, a magazine or a story, I am thoroughly reading the text of the content. But on the other hand I just can't or scheme a text when it is an FAQ or either.
Do you like reading?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Your answer is natural and communicates personal preference clearly, but there are some issues with grammar, repetition and fluency. Make the response more concise (max 3–4 sentences), correct small grammar errors (eg. avoid "kinda" and use "kind of" or simply "a"), and list genres smoothly. Use a linking phrase to justify why you like fiction.
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially fiction, because it feels like an escape from everyday life. For example, I often read romance, horror, romantic comedies and fairy tales, since each offers a different mood and imaginative experience.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 86.0Suggestion: Good clear answer with reasons. Improve grammar (use "prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen" and "when I read a book"), avoid redundancy and keep it to two to three sentences. Add a linking word to connect reasons.
Example: I prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen because I enjoy the tactile feel of pages and find it more immersive. Moreover, when I read a book I stay more focused and am less likely to be distracted by notifications.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: The idea is clear but grammar and word choice are weak. Use specific examples and correct collocations ("instructions" not "direction of a quiz"). Avoid dramatic phrasing like "doomed"; be natural. Make two concise sentences: when careful reading is necessary and when skimming is acceptable, with a linking word.
Example: I need to read carefully when following instructions, for example on an exam paper or a recipe, because missing a detail can cause mistakes. In contrast, I don't read carefully when browsing social media or casual emails, since those don't require deep understanding.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Your response shows awareness but is unclear and has several grammar and vocabulary errors ("scheme" instead of "skim", "news" should be "the news"). Structure the answer: state preference depends on purpose, then give clear examples using linking words. Keep it concise and correct collocations.
Example: It depends on my purpose: for news articles, magazines or stories I read in detail to understand the ideas, but for FAQs or long reference pages I usually skim to find specific facts quickly.
× I especially like fictional stories because it's kinda like my escape from the reality.
✓ I especially like fictional stories because they're kind of an escape from reality.
The original uses 'it's' (singular) to refer to 'fictional stories' (plural) and 'the reality' incorrectly. Use 'they're' to match plural 'stories', expand 'kinda' to 'kind of', and drop the definite article before 'reality'. This fixes pronoun agreement and article use.
× I like romance, horror, ROM com and fairy tale kinds Fairy tale genre in books.
✓ I like romance, horror, rom-coms and fairy-tale stories in books.
The original has inconsistent capitalization, missing plural form, and awkward word order. Use lowercase 'rom-coms' and pluralize genres to match the list, hyphenate 'fairy-tale' as a compound adjective and use 'stories' for clarity. This corrects adjective/adverb and pluralization issues.
× I prefer to read on paper than on screen because I really enjoy the feel of real pages and it makes the reading more immersive.
✓ I prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen because I really enjoy the feel of real pages and it makes reading more immersive.
Use the preposition 'to' with 'prefer ... to ...' and parallel gerund forms 'reading on paper' and 'reading on a screen'. Also use 'a screen' and remove the article before 'reading' when used generally. This fixes preposition and parallel structure errors.
× Also, when I am reading on book, it makes me more focused and less distracted than I do with digital devices.
✓ Also, when I am reading a book, I am more focused and less distracted than when I read on digital devices.
Use the correct expression 'reading a book' (not 'on book') and keep parallel clauses: 'I am more focused ... than when I read on digital devices.' Replace 'it makes me' and 'than I do' with clearer structure. This corrects preposition and comparative structure issues.
× I need to read carefully, especially if I am reading a direction of a quiz or an instruction, because if you don't follow an instruction you will be doomed to fail an exam or a recipe of a book, for example.
✓ I need to read carefully, especially if I am reading directions for a quiz or instructions, because if you don't follow them you could fail an exam or get a recipe wrong, for example.
Use the plural 'directions' and 'instructions' for these contexts and the preposition 'for'. Replace 'an instruction' with 'them' to refer back to plural 'directions/instructions'. 'Doomed to fail' is too strong; 'could fail' is more natural. 'A recipe of a book' should be 'a recipe' or 'a recipe from a book'; revised to 'get a recipe wrong'. This fixes present participle and pronoun reference issues and improves naturalness.
× It actually depends. When I am reading a news, an article, a magazine or a story, I am thoroughly reading the text of the content.
✓ It actually depends. When I am reading news, an article, a magazine or a story, I read the content thoroughly.
Use 'news' without an article. 'Read the content thoroughly' is more natural than 'am thoroughly reading the text of the content'. Also change to simple present 'I read' for habitual action. This fixes article misuse and awkward verb phrasing.
× But on the other hand I just can't or scheme a text when it is an FAQ or either.
✓ But on the other hand I just can't skim a text when it is an FAQ, either.
The sentence had 'scheme' (wrong verb) and awkward placement of 'either'. Use 'skim' for quick reading and place 'either' at the end. Remove redundant 'on the other hand' if desired, but here it is kept. This corrects word choice and sentence structure errors.
