Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
Yeah, absolutely. Reading is one of the most favorite hobbies because it allow me unwind and escape from the busy day and also is can improve my vocabulary and my language skills. And like, for example, uh, like before I go to sleep, I just read a little bit.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
Well, definitely, I I said like I prefer to read on paper because I love the feeling when I touch in the paper, but it's very real. Like I hand hold on the paper and, and it's make me feel can like remember the detail like longer. Yeah.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
Well, I think I need to read carefully when I read the contract or the exam instruction because if I don't pay attention, I will miss something like important and like I don't need to read carefully when I just like write the comedics or just the something in the social media.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
Oh well it's depend on the type of book which I need to understand the content deeply. I read it carefully and pay attention to the details and but if I just only want to the general idea I usually scan the text quickly to easy to can understand the yeah.
Do you like reading?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, like), correct verb forms and article usage, and keep supporting details specific and brief. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, because).
Example: Yes, I really enjoy reading. It helps me unwind after a busy day and also improves my vocabulary and language skills. For example, I usually read a few pages before bed to relax and learn new words.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first, then provide two clear specific reasons using correct grammar and fewer hesitations. Replace vague phrases with precise language and use linking words (because, so, therefore).
Example: I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the tactile feeling of holding a book, and I find it easier to remember details when I read from paper. For these reasons, paper books help me focus better than screens.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Use clearer contrast and correct word choice. Provide a concise topic sentence that contrasts the two situations, then give specific examples and a brief reason for each. Avoid informal or incorrect vocabulary (e.g., 'comedics').
Example: I need to read carefully when dealing with important documents, such as contracts or exam instructions, because missing a detail could cause serious problems. In contrast, I usually skim social media posts or casual messages since they are informal and less critical.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: Answer directly then explain the conditions with clear linking words (if, when). Fix grammar (subject-verb agreement) and make sentences concise. Provide specific examples of when you would use each reading method.
Example: It depends on my purpose: when I need to understand a book in depth, I read carefully and focus on details; however, if I only want the main idea, I scan the text quickly to get an overview.
× Reading is one of the most favorite hobbies because it allow me unwind and escape from the busy day and also is can improve my vocabulary and my language skills.
✓ Reading is one of my favorite hobbies because it allows me to unwind and escape from a busy day and it can also improve my vocabulary and my language skills.
Subject-verb agreement and verb form: 'hobbies' with 'one of my favorite' requires possessive 'my'; 'allow' should be 'allows' to agree with singular subject 'it' (referring to reading). Missing infinitive marker 'to' before 'unwind'. 'is can' is incorrect combined auxiliary; use 'it can also' and correct word order. Suggestions: add 'my', use 'allows', include 'to' before verbs like 'unwind', and use a single appropriate auxiliary verb such as 'can'.
× And like, for example, uh, like before I go to sleep, I just read a little bit.
✓ For example, before I go to sleep, I just read a little bit.
Unnecessary fillers 'And like, uh, like' should be removed for clarity. No verb error remains after cleaning. Suggestion: use 'For example' to introduce instance and keep sentence concise. Present simple 'read' is correct for habitual action.
× Well, definitely, I I said like I prefer to read on paper because I love the feeling when I touch in the paper, but it's very real.
✓ Well, definitely, I prefer to read on paper because I love the feeling when I touch the paper; it feels very real.
Redundant 'I I said like' removed. Preposition 'in' is incorrect with 'touch the paper'—use direct object 'touch the paper'. 'It's very real' is vague; better: 'it feels very real.' Suggestions: remove stuttering/fillers and use correct object without 'in' for 'touch'.
× Like I hand hold on the paper and, and it's make me feel can like remember the detail like longer.
✓ I hold the paper in my hands, and it makes me feel I can remember the details longer.
Incorrect phrase 'hand hold on the paper' should be 'hold the paper in my hands'. Subject-verb agreement: 'it's make' should be 'it makes'. Modal/ability phrase reordered: 'feel can like remember' should be 'feel I can remember'. 'detail' should be plural 'details' and 'longer' is acceptable. Suggestions: use natural word order 'I hold the paper in my hands' and ensure verb agrees with subject ('makes').
× Well, I think I need to read carefully when I read the contract or the exam instruction because if I don't pay attention, I will miss something like important and like I don't need to read carefully when I just like write the comedics or just the something in the social media.
✓ Well, I think I need to read carefully when I read a contract or exam instructions because if I don't pay attention, I will miss something important. I don't need to read carefully when I just write comments or post something on social media.
Article errors: use 'a contract' or 'exam instructions' plural; 'the exam instruction' is incorrect. Word choice: 'comedics' unclear—likely 'comments'. Remove filler 'like'. 'something in the social media' should be 'something on social media'. 'something important' no need for 'like'. Suggestions: use appropriate articles, pluralize 'instructions', replace unclear words with 'comments', and use 'on social media'.
× Oh well it's depend on the type of book which I need to understand the content deeply.
✓ Oh well, it depends on the type of book; if I need to understand the content deeply,
Subject-verb agreement: 'it's depend' should be 'it depends'. Sentence fragment: original continues later; correction splits and prepares clause. Suggestion: use 'depends' for third-person singular and ensure complete conditional clause structure.
× I read it carefully and pay attention to the details and but if I just only want to the general idea I usually scan the text quickly to easy to can understand the yeah.
✓ I read it carefully and pay attention to the details, but if I only want the general idea, I usually scan the text quickly so it's easy to understand.
Several issues: remove redundant 'just only' -> keep 'only'; incorrect placement 'want to the general idea' -> 'want the general idea'; 'to easy to can understand' is ungrammatical—use 'so it's easy to understand' or 'to understand easily'. Remove filler 'the yeah'. Suggestions: use 'but' correctly to contrast clauses, avoid redundant words, and use correct infinitive or result clause ('so it's easy to understand').
