Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

Yes, I enjoy reading. Although I'm not a big reader, I mostly read mystery novels because I find the plot twists and detective words fascinating and they keep me hooked till the end

Examiner

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

Candidate

It depends. If I need to study I prefer to read on papers because it helps me to focus. However if I go travel and I just need to read something quickly I prefer to read out my mobile screen

Examiner

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

Candidate

When I study that's when I need to read carefully to review all the elements I'm starting for. On the other hand when I'm travelling I just looking for some quick read for some articles or news and I don't really pay attention.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

It depends on what I'm reading at If if this is the article for my study I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentence. However, if I just schem for news, I'll just quickly read over.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 82.0

Suggestion: Your answer is direct and well developed, with a clear preference and a reason. However, “detective words” is unnatural; say “detective work” or “detective stories.” Also, “till the end” is acceptable but “until the end” sounds slightly more natural in this context. Add a full stop and avoid repeating “reading” unnecessarily.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, although I’m not a particularly avid reader. I mostly read mystery novels because I find the plot twists and detective work fascinating. They usually keep me hooked until the very end.

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

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: The answer has a good comparison and uses linking words, but several expressions are inaccurate. Use “on paper,” not “on papers”; “if I travel” or “when I’m travelling,” not “if I go travel”; and “read from my mobile screen,” not “read out my mobile screen.” Include commas after introductory clauses and explain briefly why screens are convenient when travelling.

Example: It depends on the situation. If I’m studying, I prefer reading on paper because it helps me concentrate and remember information. However, when I’m travelling, I usually read from my phone because it’s more convenient and portable.

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

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: You identify two contrasting situations, but the grammar and word choices reduce clarity. Say “When I study, I need to read carefully” rather than “When I study that’s when...” and use “everything I’m studying” instead of “all the elements I’m starting for.” Correct “I just looking” to “I’m just looking,” and say “a quick read of some articles or news.” Explain that you skim for the main points rather than saying you do not pay attention.

Example: I need to read carefully when I’m studying because I have to understand and remember all the important details. In contrast, when I’m travelling, I usually skim articles or news reports to get the main points. I don’t focus on every word unless something seems particularly interesting.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Your main idea is appropriate, but there are frequent hesitations, repetition, and grammar errors. Replace “what I’m reading at” with “what I’m reading,” and say “if it’s an article for my studies.” Use “each sentence” or “the details,” not “all the sentence.” The verb is “skim,” not “schem,” and “skim through the news” is more natural than “quickly read over.”

Example: It depends on my purpose. If I’m reading an article for my studies, I prefer detailed reading because I need to understand every important point. However, if I’m reading the news, I usually skim through it to get a general idea of what has happened.

Grammar

1: Singular and plural issue

× It depends. If I need to study I prefer to read on papers because it helps me to focus. However if I go travel and I just need to read something quickly I prefer to read out my mobile screen

✓ It depends. If I need to study, I prefer to read on paper because it helps me focus. However, if I go traveling and just need to read something quickly, I prefer to read on my mobile screen.

Paper is uncountable when referring to the material used for reading, so papers is incorrect in this context. Use on paper rather than on papers.

8: Verb + -ing form

× It depends. If I need to study I prefer to read on papers because it helps me to focus. However if I go travel and I just need to read something quickly I prefer to read out my mobile screen

✓ It depends. If I need to study, I prefer to read on paper because it helps me focus. However, if I go traveling and just need to read something quickly, I prefer to read on my mobile screen.

After go, an activity is commonly expressed with a gerund, such as go traveling. The phrase go travel is not appropriate here.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× It depends. If I need to study I prefer to read on papers because it helps me to focus. However if I go travel and I just need to read something quickly I prefer to read out my mobile screen

✓ It depends. If I need to study, I prefer to read on paper because it helps me focus. However, if I go traveling and just need to read something quickly, I prefer to read on my mobile screen.

Use the preposition on when referring to reading content displayed on a phone or another screen. Read out means to read aloud, so it does not have the intended meaning here.

26: Sentence structure errors

× When I study that's when I need to read carefully to review all the elements I'm starting for.

✓ When I study, I need to read carefully to review all the elements I am studying.

The structure When I study, that's when... is unnecessarily repetitive and awkward. Use a clear introductory time clause followed by the main clause: When I study, I need to read carefully.

8: Verb + -ing form

× When I study that's when I need to read carefully to review all the elements I'm starting for.

✓ When I study, I need to read carefully to review all the elements I am studying.

Starting for is not the correct verb phrase for the intended meaning. Use studying after am to form the present continuous and describe the material currently being studied.

6: Present tense issue

× On the other hand when I'm travelling I just looking for some quick read for some articles or news and I don't really pay attention.

✓ On the other hand, when I am traveling, I am just looking for a quick read of some articles or news, and I do not really pay attention.

The present continuous requires the auxiliary verb am before looking. The form I just looking is incomplete; use I am just looking.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× On the other hand when I'm travelling I just looking for some quick read for some articles or news and I don't really pay attention.

✓ On the other hand, when I am traveling, I am just looking for a quick read of some articles or news, and I do not really pay attention.

Use of, not for, to show that the quick read consists of articles or news. A useful pattern is a quick read of something.

26: Sentence structure errors

× It depends on what I'm reading at If if this is the article for my study I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentence.

✓ It depends on what I am reading. If this is an article for my studies, I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentences.

The phrase at If if creates an incomplete and disorganized sentence structure. Separate the opening sentence from the conditional sentence and use If only once.

22: Article errors

× It depends on what I'm reading at If if this is the article for my study I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentence.

✓ It depends on what I am reading. If this is an article for my studies, I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentences.

Use the indefinite article an because the sentence refers to any one article, not a specific previously mentioned article. Use an before a vowel sound, as in an article.

1: Singular and plural issue

× It depends on what I'm reading at If if this is the article for my study I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentence.

✓ It depends on what I am reading. If this is an article for my studies, I will need to read it in detail and pay more attention to all the sentences.

All refers to more than one sentence, so the plural noun sentences is required. The singular form sentence cannot follow all in this context.
