Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct personal answer (topic sentence) and then one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading. For example, I usually read novels because they help me relax and improve my vocabulary. Also, I read news articles to stay informed, so I read different types of material depending on my mood.

提案: Again you echoed the question rather than answering. State your preference clearly, then give specific reasons and a linking word to connect ideas. Use context-appropriate vocabulary like "format," "comfort," or "eye strain."

例: I prefer reading on paper because it feels more comfortable and I remember information better. However, I sometimes read on a screen for convenience when I travel or need many articles quickly.

提案: You repeated the question and made an error ('now' instead of 'not'). Answer directly with two contrasting situations, using linking words such as 'when' and 'but' or 'however.' Be specific about tasks that require careful reading and those that don't.

例: I need to read carefully when I study for exams or sign important documents because details matter. In contrast, I don't read carefully when skimming social media posts or casual messages, since they are informal and quick to scan.

提案: You mirrored the question rather than giving your choice. Provide a clear preference and a concise reason using linking words like 'because' or 'so.' You can mention examples of situations for each method.

例: I prefer detailed reading when learning new material because it helps me understand concepts fully. But I use scanning when I search for specific information, such as a name or date, since it's faster.

× Do you like reading?

✓ Yes, I like reading.

The original 'Do you like reading?' is a question repeated by the student instead of answering. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because the response should be a statement answering the examiner. Provide a clear subject and verb: 'Yes, I like reading.' If you want to be more informative, add details: 'Yes, I like reading, especially fiction.'

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

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

The student omitted the preposition 'on' before 'paper.' This is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11). English requires the preposition 'on' with 'paper' when contrasting reading mediums: 'on paper' and 'on a screen.' To improve, remember parallel structure: use the same preposition form for both items being compared.

× When do you need to read carefully and when now?

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

The student wrote 'when now' which is incorrect; likely they intended 'when not.' This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The correct negative adverb is 'not' to contrast occasions: 'When do you need to read carefully and when not?' To avoid this mistake, use the standard contrasting structure 'when... and when not' or rephrase 'When do you need to read carefully, and when do you not need to?'

× Do you prefer scanning a detailed reading?

✓ Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

The student used 'a' before 'detailed reading' and 'scanning a detailed reading' is ungrammatical. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The examiner's question contrasts two options and requires 'or' between them: 'scanning or detailed reading.' To improve, maintain parallel forms for the two choices: both gerunds ('scanning' and 'detailed reading') or both noun phrases.
