Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is relevant and shows personality, but it has minor fluency and repetition issues ("helps helps"), a few grammatical slips ("seize the world" is unusual), and slightly long phrasing. Keep answers within 3–4 sentences, use one clear topic sentence, then one supporting detail with a linking word. Avoid repeating words and choose natural collocations (e.g., “explore the world”).

例: Yes, I enjoy reading. I often explore the world through books because I don't travel much, and fiction lets me visit different places and cultures. For example, historical novels help me imagine life in other eras, which I find very engaging.

提案: This is a clear, well-organized answer with good reasons. Improve minor grammar and agreement (use "feels" for singular nouns and consistent verb forms) and tighten sentences to avoid redundancy. Use one linking word to connect reasons (e.g., "because" or "also").

例: I prefer reading on paper because it is gentler on my eyes and turning pages feels more relaxing than tapping a screen. Also, the smell of a real book is comforting, so paper editions are my first choice.

提案: The idea is understandable, but hesitations ("uh"), tense inconsistency ("liked" should be "like"), and vague phrasing weaken the response. Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific example to support it. Avoid filler words and ensure correct tense and subject-verb agreement.

例: I need to read carefully when I enjoy an author's style because I want to study their language and structure. In contrast, when I read light, humorous stories for relaxation, I skim more and focus on the plot rather than language details.

提案: Your answer answers the question and gives reasoning, but it contains repetitions ("by my by", "they create they create") and could be more concise. Fix repetitions, use linking words ("because" is fine), and give one concrete example of what you notice when reading in detail (e.g., dialogue, imagery). Keep to 2–4 sentences.

例: I prefer detailed reading because I want to absorb the authors' techniques for creating characters and atmosphere. For example, I pay close attention to their use of dialogue and descriptive imagery so I can learn how they build emotional scenes.

× I don't really like to travel so I usually seize the world by reading stories written by people all over the world.

✓ I don't really like to travel so I usually seize the world by reading stories written by people all over the world.

No change needed here for present participle form: 'reading' is correctly used as a gerund after 'by'. The sentence is acceptable grammatically; however, style could be improved by removing repetition of 'world' but that is not a grammatical issue in the given list.

× And we can create stories that won't happen in real world, so it helps helps me to imagine different scenes.

✓ And we can create stories that wouldn't happen in the real world, so it helps me imagine different scenes.

Use of conditional/modal: 'wouldn't' is the correct conditional form for hypothetical events; this falls under adjective/adverb type because 'won't' is stylistically incorrect here and 'real world' needs the article 'the' (see Article errors but primary issue is modal choice). Also remove duplicate 'helps' and omit 'to' after 'helps' when followed by a verb. Suggestion: use 'wouldn't' for hypothetical situations, include 'the' before 'real world', remove repeated word and drop 'to' after 'helps'.

× I prefer to read on paper because it's better for my eyes and flipping through pages feel more relaxing than to tap on screens.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because it's better for my eyes and flipping through pages feels more relaxing than tapping on screens.

Subject-verb agreement with gerund phrase: 'flipping through pages' is singular, so the verb should be 'feels' (this is also subject-verb agreement issue but corrected under prepositions because the comparison structure uses 'than' followed by a gerund; also replace 'to tap' with gerund 'tapping' to match parallel structure). Suggestion: make verbs parallel and match singular/plural agreement: 'flipping... feels' and use 'tapping' not 'to tap'.

× Also, the smell of printed pages feel more comforting to me.

✓ Also, the smell of printed pages feels more comforting to me.

Subject-verb agreement: 'the smell' is singular, so use 'feels'. This falls under incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs because the descriptor 'comforting' is fine; primary correction is verb form to agree with singular subject. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with the subject: 'the smell ... feels'.

× I would need to read carefully if I liked the authors, uh, style, but if I just want to relax by reading a silly story, I wouldn't.

✓ I need to read carefully if I like an author's style, but if I just want to relax by reading a silly story, I wouldn't.

Tense consistency: use present simple 'need' and 'like' when speaking generally about preferences. Change 'would need' and 'liked' to 'need' and 'like' respectively. Also 'authors, uh, style' should be 'an author's style' or 'the author's style' to show possession (this is incorrect use of pronouns/articles but primary is tense). Suggestion: keep present tense for habitual preferences and use possessive form for author.

× I would need to read carefully if I liked the authors, uh, style, but if I just want to relax by reading a silly story, I wouldn't.

✓ I need to read carefully if I like the author's style, but if I just want to relax by reading a silly story, I wouldn't.

Possessive noun: 'authors ... style' should be 'author's style' to show possession. Also replace 'if I liked' with 'if I like' for tense consistency. Suggestion: use the possessive apostrophe for singular author.'

× I prefer detailed reading because I usually read books written by my by authors I like, so I would like to absorb their writing styles and the ways they create they create characters.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because I usually read books written by authors I like, so I would like to absorb their writing styles and the ways they create characters.

Errors: repeated 'by' and repeated phrase 'they create'. Remove duplicates. 'Books written by authors I like' is correct prepositional use. Also ensure no repetition. Suggestion: proofread to remove repeated words and keep sentences concise.
