Candidate

Yes, as a medical student I do like to read medical journals and the clinical cases and case studies and I solve mysteries afterwards and it makes me very refreshing and fresh.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Uh, yes, I prefer to read from, uh, paper directly because uh, I think it makes me understand my knowledge more and uh, my mind, uh, keep it fresh and uh, uh, I feel like when I read from mobile, it makes me feel like migraine or a headache like feeling.

Examiner

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

Candidate

When I read schedule my medical journals, my medical reports and clinical case studies, then I have to read carefully because, uh, in medical each and every word has a different meanings and enormous, uh, kind of meanings. So these type of readings, uh, uh, makes me, uh, read carefully. But when I read romantic novels, then I go through, uh, uh, skim reading.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition (e.g., “refreshing and fresh”) and unnecessary phrases like “I do like.” Use linking words if adding detail.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially medical journals and clinical case studies. For example, I often read case reports to learn diagnostic approaches, and I like working through the clinical ‘mysteries’ to test my reasoning.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and organize the answer: give a direct preference, then one or two clear reasons. Use precise vocabulary for physical effects (e.g., 'eye strain' or 'headache'). Avoid fillers like 'uh' and repetition.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it helps me concentrate and retain information more effectively. Reading on a mobile screen often causes eye strain and headaches, so I avoid it for long study sessions.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear contrast. Use linking words (e.g., 'because', 'however') and give specific reasons why careful reading is necessary in professional contexts. Avoid vague phrases like 'enormous kind of meanings' and reduce hesitations.

Example: I need to read carefully when studying medical journals, reports, or case studies because precise wording can affect diagnosis and treatment decisions. However, for light reading such as romantic novels, I usually skim to get the main plot quickly.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and support it with a concise reason and example. Avoid informal phrases like 'I'm kind of' and tighten the language for clarity.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because missing a single word can change the meaning or spoil the continuity. For instance, when I study a clinical case, careful reading helps me understand symptoms and test results accurately.

Grammar

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Yes, as a medical student I do like to read medical journals and the clinical cases and case studies and I solve mysteries afterwards and it makes me very refreshing and fresh.

Yes, as a medical student I like to read medical journals, clinical cases, and case studies. I solve problems afterwards, and it makes me feel refreshed.

The original uses 'refreshing' (an adjective describing something) and 'fresh' incorrectly to describe the speaker's feeling. The correct form is the adjective 'refreshed' to describe a person’s state. Also remove redundant 'do' and streamline the list with commas. Use 'solve problems' instead of 'solve mysteries' to match context.

6: Present tense issue

× Uh, yes, I prefer to read from, uh, paper directly because uh, I think it makes me understand my knowledge more and uh, my mind, uh, keep it fresh and uh, uh, I feel like when I read from mobile, it makes me feel like migraine or a headache like feeling.

I prefer to read on paper because I think it helps me understand better and keeps my mind fresh. When I read from my mobile it can give me a migraine or a headache.

Verb forms and agreement were inconsistent: use simple present 'keeps' with subject 'it' (or 'helps' with 'paper'). Replace 'read from paper directly' with 'read on paper'. 'Understand my knowledge more' is awkward; 'understand better' is clearer. Remove filler words and rephrase the headache clause to use correct noun phrases ('give me a migraine' or 'cause a headache').

1: Singular and plural issue

× When I read schedule my medical journals, my medical reports and clinical case studies, then I have to read carefully because, uh, in medical each and every word has a different meanings and enormous, uh, kind of meanings.

When I read medical journals, reports, and clinical case studies, I have to read carefully because in medicine each word can have different and significant meanings.

Problems: 'read schedule my' is ungrammatical — removed 'schedule'. 'In medical' should be 'in medicine'. 'Each and every word has a different meanings' mixes singular 'each' with plural 'meanings'; use 'each word can have different meanings' or 'has a different meaning'. 'Enormous... kind of meanings' is vague; replace with 'significant meanings'.

26: Sentence structure errors

× So these type of readings, uh, uh, makes me, uh, read carefully.

So these types of reading require me to read carefully.

Subject-verb agreement and noun form: 'these type' should be 'these types' or 'this type'. 'Readings' is awkward; 'types of reading' is clearer. 'Makes me read' is acceptable but 'require me to read' is more formal and fits context. Ensure verb agrees with subject ('types ... require').

6: Present tense issue

× But when I read romantic novels, then I go through, uh, uh, skim reading.

But when I read romantic novels, I skim them.

'Go through skim reading' is unidiomatic. Use 'skim' (verb) with the object 'them' or 'I skim books' to express quick reading. Remove unnecessary 'then' and fillers. Maintain present simple tense for habitual actions.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I'm kind of more like detailed reading person because whenever I skip a word I feel like I skip the whole story, so I would prefer details rather than skim reading.

I'm more of a detailed reader because whenever I skip a word I feel like I miss the whole story, so I prefer detail rather than skimming.

Use noun 'reader' not 'reading person'. 'Kind of more like' is redundant — 'more of a' or 'a' suffices. 'I skip the whole story' should be 'I miss the whole story'. Use 'prefer detail' or 'prefer detailed reading' and 'skimming' (gerund) rather than 'skim reading'.
