Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
I enjoy reading novels because they give me knowledge and perspectives beyond what I learn from school textbooks. For example, historical or contemporary nobles often teach me about different cultures and human behavior in ways and textbooks cannot. So I love reading books. Yeah.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
I prefer reading on paper because reading on screen may damage our eyesight. So I think reading on people helps us to get extra knowledges and helps us to understand it easily. So I prefer paper.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
Whenever I felt out something is wrong or something is difficult for me, I need to be careful for reading because not everybody can read everything. So we need to be concentrated and, uh, and, and find out the meanings which are difficult for us. So we need to be careful at that time.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
I prefer detailed reading better than scanning because it helps me to understand all the important information and the writers ideas. For example, when I study for exams, I read carefully to the complex concepts and remember key details. So I prefer I prefer detailed reading more than scanning.
Do you like reading?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise and correct word choice; start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler, and use accurate vocabulary (e.g., "novels", not "nobles"). Provide one specific supporting detail and one short reason. Keep to 2–3 sentences.
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading novels because they broaden my understanding of different cultures and human behaviour. For example, a historical novel I read recently helped me understand social customs in 19th-century England, which textbooks did not cover in depth.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity, avoid vague phrases and repetition. State preference clearly, give a concise reason and a specific supporting detail. Use correct collocations ("reading on paper" and "gain knowledge"). Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Example: I prefer reading on paper because it feels easier on my eyes and helps me focus. For instance, when I study from printed articles I concentrate better and retain more information than when I read on my phone.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Make the answer more direct and grammatically correct. Use a clear topic sentence describing when careful reading is needed, then give a brief example or reason using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Remove hesitations and generalizations.
Example: I need to read carefully when the material is difficult or when I suspect an error, because these require close attention. For example, when I study technical articles I slow down to understand complex terms and check facts.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Avoid repetition and improve grammar. Begin with a clear statement of preference, then give a concise reason and a specific example. Use proper possessive/apostrophe ("writer's ideas") and avoid duplicated phrases.
Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand the writer's ideas and remember key information. For example, when preparing for exams I read chapters slowly and take notes on complex concepts to ensure I grasp them.
× I enjoy reading novels because they give me knowledge and perspectives beyond what I learn from school textbooks.
✓ I enjoy reading novels because they give me knowledge and perspectives beyond what I learn from school textbooks.
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is correct. Keep as is.
× For example, historical or contemporary nobles often teach me about different cultures and human behavior in ways and textbooks cannot.
✓ For example, historical or contemporary novels often teach me about different cultures and human behavior in ways that textbooks cannot.
Error: word choice and missing relative pronoun. 'Nobles' is incorrect; context requires 'novels' (noun meaning books). Also missing 'that' to introduce the clause 'that textbooks cannot'. Suggestion: use correct word 'novels' and include 'that' to make the comparison clear.
× So I love reading books. Yeah.
✓ So I love reading books.
The interjection 'Yeah' is redundant and informal in a concise response. Removing it improves sentence cohesion. No grammatical structure error otherwise.
× I prefer reading on paper because reading on screen may damage our eyesight.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because reading on a screen may damage our eyesight.
Add the article 'a' before 'screen' to refer to reading on a screen in general. Without the article, the phrase is less natural in English.
× So I think reading on people helps us to get extra knowledges and helps us to understand it easily.
✓ So I think reading on paper helps us to gain extra knowledge and helps us understand it more easily.
Multiple errors: 'reading on people' should be 'reading on paper' (word choice). 'Knowledges' is incorrect plural; 'knowledge' is uncountable. Use 'gain' instead of 'get' for collocation. 'Helps us to understand it easily' is better as 'helps us understand it more easily'—remove unnecessary 'to' and add 'more' for comparative meaning.
× So I prefer paper.
✓ So I prefer paper.
Sentence is acceptable; no correction needed.
× Whenever I felt out something is wrong or something is difficult for me, I need to be careful for reading because not everybody can read everything.
✓ Whenever I feel that something is wrong or something is difficult for me, I need to read carefully because not everybody can understand everything.
Errors: tense mismatch ('felt' should be present 'feel' to match habitual 'Whenever' and 'need'). 'Felt out' is incorrect — use 'feel that'. 'Be careful for reading' is unnatural; use 'read carefully'. 'Read everything' meaning is better expressed as 'understand everything'. These changes fix tense agreement, verb choice, and preposition use.
× So we need to be concentrated and, uh, and, and find out the meanings which are difficult for us.
✓ So we need to concentrate and find the meanings that are difficult for us.
Use verb 'concentrate' instead of adjective 'be concentrated'. Remove filler repetitions 'uh, and, and'. Use 'that' rather than 'which' for essential clause in spoken style; 'find out' can be simplified to 'find' or 'work out' depending on nuance.
× So we need to be careful at that time.
✓ So we need to be careful at that time.
Sentence is correct; no grammatical correction needed.
× I prefer detailed reading better than scanning because it helps me to understand all the important information and the writers ideas.
✓ I prefer detailed reading to scanning because it helps me understand all the important information and the writer's ideas.
Issues: 'prefer... better than' is redundant — use 'prefer... to' or 'like... better than'. Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helps me'. 'Writers ideas' needs possessive apostrophe: 'writer's ideas' (or 'writers' ideas' if plural). Also 'detailed reading' is fine.
× For example, when I study for exams, I read carefully to the complex concepts and remember key details.
✓ For example, when I study for exams, I read carefully to understand the complex concepts and remember key details.
'Read carefully to the complex concepts' is ungrammatical. Add purpose clause 'to understand the complex concepts' or 'read carefully about the complex concepts'. This fixes verb-complement structure.
× So I prefer I prefer detailed reading more than scanning.
✓ So I prefer detailed reading to scanning.
Redundant repetition 'I prefer I prefer' should be a single 'I prefer'. Also use 'prefer... to' instead of 'prefer... more than' for a natural fixed expression.
