Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct personal answer (topic sentence), then add one or two brief supporting details. Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Use specific examples and a linking word to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading. For example, I usually read novels and non-fiction books because they help me relax and learn new things. Also, I try to read at least one book a month.

提案: Answer clearly with a preference, then give reasons and one brief comparison. Do not repeat or mirror the examiner's phrasing. Use linking words like 'because' or 'however' to make your response coherent.

例: I prefer reading on paper because it feels more comfortable and I can annotate easily. However, I sometimes read on a screen when I travel or need instant access to articles.

提案: Provide a clear statement about situations that require careful reading and situations that do not. Use linking words (for example, while, whereas) and give specific examples to illustrate both cases.

例: You need to read carefully when studying for exams or reading contracts, because details matter and mistakes can be costly. In contrast, you don't need to read carefully when skimming news headlines or social media posts, where a quick overview is often enough.

提案: State your preference directly and support it with reasons and an example. Keep answers concise (one topic sentence plus one supporting detail) and avoid repeating the question.

例: I prefer detailed reading for textbooks and research because it helps me fully understand complex ideas. For routine tasks like checking emails, I usually scan to save time.

× Do you like reading?

✓ Yes, I do.

The student's reply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure/communication error: a question requires an answer. Provide a short affirmative response that matches the present simple question about general preference. Suggestion: answer directly with 'Yes, I do' or 'No, I don't' and optionally add a reason.

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

✓ I prefer to read on paper.

The student scrambled word order and added extra words, creating an ungrammatical sentence. This is a sentence structure error. The question asks for a preference; the correct answer should be a clear subject-verb phrase plus the object ('on paper' or 'on a screen'). Suggestion: keep the structure 'I prefer to read on paper' or 'I prefer reading on a screen'.

× When you need to read carefully and when can you?

✓ I need to read carefully when I study for exams or when I check important documents; I don't need to read carefully for casual messages or social media.

The student reversed clause order and left the sentence fragmented, making it ungrammatical. This is a sentence structure error. The examiner asked 'When do you need to read carefully, and when not?' so the answer should state specific situations using correct question-to-answer tense alignment and complete clauses. Suggestion: use 'I need to read carefully when...' and 'I don't need to read carefully when...' to clearly contrast scenarios.

× Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

✓ I prefer scanning for quickly finding information, and detailed reading when I need to understand something thoroughly.

The student's reply repeated the question instead of answering, which is a sentence structure/response error. The answer should state a preference and explain when each strategy is used. Suggestion: give a direct preference ('I prefer...') and optionally add reasons or contexts.
