Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Be more grammatical, concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. "Yes, I enjoy reading") then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Reduce hesitation sounds and avoid redundant phrases.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. It helps me relax after a long day and lets me escape into different stories, so I often read for thirty minutes before bed.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Use clear tense and natural vocabulary. Begin with a direct statement, then give two specific reasons using linking words like 'because' and 'also'. Clarify unclear phrases (e.g. 'field targeted').

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it feels more comfortable and I can focus better. Also, paper books help me avoid the distractions that come with electronic devices.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more precise and grammatical. Use a clear contrast with linking words (e.g. 'when' and 'but'). Give concrete examples and explain consequences briefly.

Example: I need to read carefully when I'm dealing with important documents, such as contracts or exam instructions, because missing a detail can cause serious mistakes. But for casual things like social media posts I usually skim.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Start with a concise topic sentence and expand with a reason and an example. Use linking words like 'for example' and avoid repeating words. Improve phrasing: 'scanning' vs 'skimming'.

Example: I prefer scanning (or skimming) because it helps me find key information quickly. For example, in reading exams I skim passages to locate answers before reading in detail if necessary.

Grammar

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Yeah, like a reading, uh, because it's reading can help me relax and only then escape the long day walk.

✓ Yeah, I like reading because it can help me relax and escape after a long day of walking.

The student used 'a reading' and 'the long day walk' incorrectly. Use the uncountable noun 'reading' without 'a'. Replace 'it's reading' with 'it' as the subject referring to reading. 'Escape after a long day of walking' is the natural expression; include 'of' and use the gerund 'walking' to describe the activity. Also remove unnecessary filler words for clarity.

Past tense issue

× I was so much preferred read on paper because I like the field targeted and also it can make me either comfortable.

✓ I much prefer reading on paper because I find it more comfortable and less distracting.

The original used an incorrect past construction 'was so much preferred read' which mixes tenses and forms. The question asks a general preference so present simple 'prefer' is appropriate. 'Reading on paper' is the correct gerund phrase. Replace awkward 'field targeted' and 'either comfortable' with clear phrasing 'more comfortable and less distracting.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Another thing that I think reading paper can avoid some distraction from the device.

✓ Another thing is that reading on paper can avoid some distractions from devices.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'paper' ('reading on paper'). 'Distraction' should be plural 'distractions' and 'from the device' is better as 'from devices' for general reference. Also add 'Another thing is that' to make the clause grammatical.

Present tense issue

× I think, uh, when I check some important document, just like, uh, some contractor or some exam instructions, I need to pay attention because if I didn't, uh, stay careful, it will have some mistake.

✓ I think when I check important documents, such as contracts or exam instructions, I need to pay attention because if I'm not careful, mistakes can happen.

Use plural 'documents' for general statements and correct 'some contractor' to 'contracts' (meaning contract documents) or 'contractor' was likely wrong. Use present tense/modal appropriate: 'if I'm not careful' not 'if I didn't stay careful.' Replace 'it will have some mistake' with 'mistakes can happen' for natural English. Remove unnecessary fillers.

Verb + -ing form

× I prefer reading with scanning method. Just like when I take some exam reading test, I need to scan all the tests quickly and find the answer.

✓ I prefer using a scanning method. For example, when I take reading tests in exams, I scan the passages quickly to find the answers.

Use 'using a scanning method' or 'the scanning method' for natural phrasing. 'Exam reading test' is awkward; use 'reading tests in exams' or 'reading sections.' Use simple present 'scan' for habitual action and plural 'answers' if multiple. Use 'passages' rather than 'tests' when scanning text.
