Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler words, and correct verb choice and tense. Add one or two specific examples of what you read and how it helps you. Use linking words for cohesion.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading because it helps me learn new things. For example, I often read business books and news articles, which teach me practical skills like time management and current market trends that I can apply at work.

提案: Use correct verbs and clearer contrast. Give a brief reason and a specific benefit of reading digitally, and keep it to one or two sentences. Avoid repeating words or phrasing awkwardly.

例: I prefer reading on a screen because e-books are more convenient; I can carry many titles on my phone and adjust the font size for comfortable reading.

提案: Organize your answer into two clear parts with a topic sentence and supporting detail for each. Remove hesitations and use more precise language (e.g., "contracts" not repeated phrases). Provide a concise example for casual reading.

例: I need to read carefully when I sign contracts or official documents to avoid mistakes. On the other hand, I read less carefully when browsing social media captions or short posts that are informal and low-risk.

提案: Respond with a clear preference and give a concise reason and an example. Correct phrasing (e.g., "prefer detailed reading") and avoid slang or vague expressions. Use a linking phrase to connect reason and example.

例: I prefer detailed reading because I need to fully understand complex information; for instance, I read research articles carefully to grasp methods and results rather than just skimming them.

× Yes, I do love reading because it gives me a lot of knowledge that I don't know.

✓ Yes, I love reading because it gives me a lot of knowledge that I did not have.

The original mixes present and present perfect ideas awkwardly. 'I do love' is emphatic but unnecessary; use 'I love'. The clause 'that I don't know' is incorrect because knowledge already gained should be referred to as something you did not have before, so use 'did not have' or 'didn't know before'. Use past tense 'did not have' to show previously unknown information now learned.

× If I lead a newspaper, umm, business book, I can earn lots of things that I didn't know that is also applicable to my daily life.

✓ If I read a newspaper or a business book, I can learn many things that I didn't know that are also applicable to my daily life.

The verb 'lead' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'read'. Also use 'or' instead of a comma to list 'newspaper or a business book'. 'Earn lots of things' is wrong; 'learn many things' fits context. 'Things ... that is also applicable' has number agreement error: 'things' requires plural verb 'are'. Use 'many' rather than 'lots of' for grammatical clarity.

× I prefer to lead a digital book to a physical book because I do not have to carry the physical books if I read on the screen.

✓ I prefer a digital book to a physical book because I do not have to carry heavy books when I read on a screen.

Again 'lead' should be 'read' (verb choice). The preposition 'to' after 'prefer' is fine but the structure should be 'prefer A to B'. 'If I read on the screen' is better as 'when I read on a screen'. Also 'physical books' could be 'heavy books' for clarity; keep consistent singular/plural: 'a digital book to a physical book' then 'books' later is acceptable but clearer to say 'heavy books'.

× When I make some contracts or agree to the agreements, I need to read carefully.

✓ When I sign contracts or agree to agreements, I need to read carefully.

'Make some contracts' is awkward; English speakers 'sign contracts' or 'enter into agreements'. 'Agree to the agreements' is redundant; use 'agree to agreements' or better 'agree to terms' or 'agree to an agreement'. The structure 'When I sign contracts ...' is clear and natural.

× And when it comes to the situation when I don't have to read, carefree is like, uh, reading, uh, on a reading caption of the posts on Instagram, this kind of thing.

✓ When I do not need to read carefully, I might just skim captions on Instagram posts or similar things.

The original is disfluent and uses 'carefree is like' incorrectly. Use 'I might just skim' to express casual reading. 'Reading caption of the posts' should be 'captions on Instagram posts'. Simplify and use natural verbs and prepositions.

× I would rather lead in details because without the concentration I will end up like I don't know anything so scanning is not useful for me.

✓ I would rather read in detail because without concentration I will end up not understanding anything, so scanning is not useful for me.

'Lead in details' is incorrect; correct verb is 'read' and phrase is 'read in detail'. 'Without the concentration' should be 'without concentration'. 'End up like I don't know anything' is informal and ungrammatical; use 'end up not understanding anything'. Ensure parallel structure and natural phrasing.
