Examiner

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

Candidate

I think that I definitely like to read on paper more because I think that that is a much better way for my eyes. And also there's a very little attraction than on the screen because for example, on the screen I have many distraction when reading like YouTube or social media.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I think that it definitely depends on what I do. For example, when I'm doing a reading homework or reading a passage for class, I think I will read more carefully because it gives me more idea and help me remember the detail. But when I'm reading for relaxing, I think that I just read not so carefully.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

I think that in my opinion I prefer scanning more because sometimes when I don't have much time to read this passage or reading something detailed, reading takes many times and sometimes I can't read all of this passage. So I think that prefer I prefer scanning because I can know the main idea very fast.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Cải thiện cấu trúc câu và ngữ pháp, tránh lặp từ và dư thừa. Nên mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó cung cấp 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ loại sách yêu thích hoặc lợi ích cụ thể). Chú ý dùng số ít/đếm được (a skill → a skill/the skill), thì động từ (reading makes), và giảm chiều dài câu để tự nhiên hơn.

Example: Yes, I really enjoy reading. It helps me with school subjects like English and Vietnamese because it improves my vocabulary and comprehension. Also, reading relaxes me — I often unwind by reading novels in the evening.

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

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Tránh lặp từ (I think), tinh gọn ý và dùng liên từ hợp lý. Sửa lỗi ngữ pháp nhỏ (fewer distractions, better for my eyes). Thêm một ví dụ cụ thể ngắn để làm rõ lý do.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it's easier on my eyes and there are fewer distractions. For example, when I read on a screen I often get tempted to check social media or watch videos.

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

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Cấu trúc câu rõ ràng hơn: mở bằng câu chủ đề rồi so sánh hai tình huống. Sửa ngữ pháp (helps me remember details) và dùng linking words (for instance, however). Tránh lặp 'I think' quá nhiều.

Example: It depends on my purpose. For instance, I read carefully for school assignments because it helps me understand the ideas and remember important details. However, when I read for relaxation I skim more and don't focus on every detail.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: Nói ngắn gọn, tránh lặp và sửa lỗi ngữ pháp (takes a long time, know the main idea quickly). Dùng từ liên kết để nêu lý do và kết luận rõ ràng. Có thể thêm ví dụ cụ thể khi dùng scanning.

Example: I prefer scanning because it's faster when I'm short on time. For example, before a lesson I quickly scan an article to get the main ideas rather than reading every sentence in detail.

Grammar

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× Yes, I think that I really enjoy reading and I think it is a very important skills like for example when I go to school and studying some subject like Vietnamese or English, reading skill is very, very important for me to do my homework and also reading make me relax because I can read my favorite book.

✓ Yes, I really enjoy reading and I think it is a very important skill. For example, when I go to school and study subjects like Vietnamese or English, reading is very important for me to do my homework, and reading also makes me relax because I can read my favorite books.

The original sentence uses plural 'skills' where a singular 'skill' is appropriate (quantifier/number issue) and mixes singular/plural elsewhere. Also 'studying' should be 'study' to match the main verb form; 'reading make' needs subject-verb agreement (makes); 'favorite book' should be plural if referring generally. Suggestion: use consistent singular/plural forms and parallel verb forms, split into shorter sentences to improve clarity.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I think that I definitely like to read on paper more because I think that that is a much better way for my eyes.

✓ I definitely prefer to read on paper because I think it is much better for my eyes.

Redundant 'that that' and awkward phrasing. 'A much better way for my eyes' is unnatural; 'better for my eyes' is sufficient. Suggestion: remove redundant words and use natural article usage.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× And also there's a very little attraction than on the screen because for example, on the screen I have many distraction when reading like YouTube or social media.

✓ Also, there are fewer attractions on paper than on a screen; for example, on a screen I have many distractions when reading, such as YouTube or social media.

Use 'fewer' for countable plural 'attractions' (preposition/quantifier and countability issue). 'Distraction' should be plural 'distractions'. Use 'such as' to introduce examples. Suggestion: choose correct countable/uncountable forms and pluralize nouns when needed.

Present tense issue

× I think that it definitely depends on what I do.

✓ I think it definitely depends on what I am doing.

When discussing current or ongoing situations, present continuous 'am doing' is more natural. Suggestion: use present continuous to refer to ongoing actions/context.

Verb + -ing form

× For example, when I'm doing a reading homework or reading a passage for class, I think I will read more carefully because it gives me more idea and help me remember the detail.

✓ For example, when I'm doing reading homework or reading a passage for class, I read more carefully because it gives me more ideas and helps me remember the details.

Use 'reading homework' without article; change 'I will read' to simple present 'I read' to match habitual action. 'Idea' should be plural 'ideas'; 'help' needs agreement 'helps'; 'detail' should be plural 'details'. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and correct plural forms for general statements.

Present tense issue

× But when I'm reading for relaxing, I think that I just read not so carefully.

✓ But when I'm reading to relax, I usually don't read very carefully.

Use 'to relax' instead of 'for relaxing'. 'Just read not so carefully' is unnatural; use 'usually don't read very carefully'. Suggestion: use infinitive for purpose and adverbs for frequency/intensity.

Sentence structure errors

× I think that in my opinion I prefer scanning more because sometimes when I don't have much time to read this passage or reading something detailed, reading takes many times and sometimes I can't read all of this passage.

✓ In my opinion, I prefer scanning because sometimes I don't have enough time to read a passage in detail; reading takes too long and I can't finish the whole passage.

Redundant phrasing ('I think that in my opinion'); inconsistent verb forms ('to read this passage or reading something detailed'); awkward phrases 'takes many times'. Suggestion: remove redundancy, use 'in detail', 'takes too long', and 'finish the whole passage' for clarity.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× So I think that prefer I prefer scanning because I can know the main idea very fast.

✓ So I prefer scanning because I can understand the main idea very quickly.

Redundant 'I think that prefer I prefer' and incorrect verb 'can know' should be 'can understand'; adverb 'very fast' is colloquial, use 'very quickly'. Suggestion: eliminate repetition and choose appropriate verb and adverb.
