Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve clarity, grammar and coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, fix grammar (plural/singular, articles), and limit to 3–4 concise sentences. Use linking words (for example, because, so) and specific examples of topics you read to add content. Reduce hesitation sounds (uh) and incomplete sentences.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading, but I don’t read printed books often. I usually read short online articles and watch informative videos on YouTube or TikTok because they’re quicker and more visual. For example, I follow science and technology channels that summarize concepts in five minutes, which helps me learn efficiently.

提案: Correct grammar mistakes and clarify unclear words. Start with a direct statement, then give two concise reasons with a smooth link. Replace vague or incorrect words (e.g., 'freeze', 'anyone') with accurate terms and add a brief specific example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer reading on a screen because it’s more convenient and easy to access. I can carry hundreds of books on my phone and open any title whenever I need it. Also, digital features like search and bookmarks make studying and research much faster.

提案: Make sentences grammatically correct and more concise. Use a clear topic sentence stating both situations (when careful and when not), then give brief specific examples. Avoid repetition and overlong phrases; use linking words like 'for example' and 'however'.

例: I read carefully when dealing with personal paperwork or official forms because mistakes can have serious consequences. For example, when I complete job applications I always check all terms and conditions. However, I usually skim casual articles or social media posts if I just want a quick update.

提案: Improve fluency and accuracy. Give a clear short answer first, then two well-structured supporting sentences using linking words (If…, but…). Correct grammar (plural/singular, articles) and remove hesitations. Provide a concrete example of when you would scan vs read in detail.

例: It depends: if I have plenty of time I prefer detailed reading so I can understand everything thoroughly. But when I’m under time pressure, I scan for key points to save time. For instance, I scan news headlines during a commute but read full research articles when preparing for exams.

× Yes I do but I don't read book very often.

✓ Yes, I do, but I don't read books very often.

The noun 'book' should be plural ('books') because the sentence refers to reading books in general, not a single book. Use plural nouns when speaking about general or unspecified multiple items.

× I usually read online article and what informative videos on YouTube, TikTok and Facebook because they are faster to consume and more visuals and however they make the learning more engaging.

✓ I usually read online articles and watch informative videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook because they are faster to consume and more visual; they also make learning more engaging.

Multiple issues: 'article' should be plural ('articles'); 'what' is incorrect — should be 'watch' for viewing videos; 'more visuals' should be 'more visual' (adjective describing 'content'); run-on sentence fixed by splitting and using a semicolon. Use correct verb for media (watch videos) and match plurality.

× Instead of watching a long detailed video I can just watch a quick summaries uh on.

✓ Instead of watching a long, detailed video, I can just watch quick summaries.

'Summaries' must be plural if 'quick summaries' is intended; remove extra 'a' which conflicts with plural noun. Also remove dangling 'on' and filler 'uh'. Add comma after introductory phrase.

× Well, I prefer reading on the screen because it offers greater flexibility and also easy access.

✓ Well, I prefer reading on a screen because it offers greater flexibility and easier access.

Use the indefinite article 'a' with 'screen' for a general preference. 'Also easy access' is ungrammatical; use comparative adjective 'easier' to parallel 'greater flexibility'.

× I can read books on phones or tablets without having to go to a library.

✓ I can read books on my phone or tablet without having to go to a library.

Use singular possessive 'my phone or tablet' to refer to the device you carry; plural 'phones or tablets' is possible but less natural when referring to personal devices. Both are acceptable; this correction improves clarity.

× For example, I can carry 100 book with me and open anyone whenever I'm freeze.

✓ For example, I can carry 100 books with me and open any of them whenever I'm free.

'Book' should be plural ('books') after a number; 'anyone' is incorrect for objects—use 'any of them'; 'freeze' is wrong word—use 'free' meaning available.

× And digital features like search and bookmarks make the studying or researching faster.

✓ Digital features like search and bookmarks make studying and researching faster.

Drop the definite article 'the' before gerunds when speaking generally. Use 'and' instead of 'or' to include both activities. 'Studying' and 'researching' are gerunds; no article needed.

× Well, I need to read carefully when it come to personal paperwork, for instance when I fill in for an online application forms or applying for job.

✓ Well, I need to read carefully when it comes to personal paperwork; for instance, when I fill in an online application form or apply for a job.

Subject-verb agreement: 'it come' should be 'it comes'. 'Fill in for' is wrong; use 'fill in an online application form'. Use consistent verb forms: 'apply' instead of 'applying' to match the parallel structure. Use singular 'form' when referring to one form.

× In those situations, I read all the terms and conditions in the committee policy carefully to avoid the mistake and to understand my responsibilities much more before signing it.

✓ In those situations, I read all the terms and conditions in the company policy carefully to avoid mistakes and to understand my responsibilities before signing.

'Committee policy' may be wrong contextually; 'company policy' is more typical—adjust if necessary. Use plural 'mistakes' when speaking generally. Avoid 'much more'—it is unnecessary and awkward; place 'carefully' where it modifies 'read'. Remove redundant 'it' after 'signing'.

× Well I will say it depends.

✓ Well, I would say it depends.

Use 'would say' for a polite, hypothetical or tentative response. 'Will say' sounds unnatural here.

× If there are no time restriction I would take my time to read umm uh every information in details.

✓ If there are no time restrictions, I would take my time to read every piece of information in detail.

Pluralize 'time restriction' to 'time restrictions' to match 'are'. 'Every information' is uncountable—use 'every piece of information' or 'all the information'. Use singular 'in detail' rather than 'in details'. Remove fillers.

× But if it time restricted the time it restricted I will. I will prefers scanning because there many other question that I need to answered and reading and scheming will make it much more faster.

✓ But if time is restricted, I will prefer scanning because there are many other questions that I need to answer, and skimming will make it much faster.

Use passive 'time is restricted' or 'if time is limited'. 'I will prefers' should be 'I will prefer' (remove -s). 'There many other question' needs 'are' and plural 'questions'. 'Need to answered' should be 'need to answer' (base form after 'need to'). 'Scheming' is wrong word—use 'skimming'. 'Much more faster' is incorrect; use 'much faster' or 'far faster'.
