Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Good content and clear topic sentence, but answer is slightly repetitive and could be more concise. Add a linking phrase to show transition from past to present and include a brief reason or example of how it relaxes you to make it more specific.

例: I used to read a lot as a child, especially fairy tales and science fiction. However, these days I’m more into reading Bible passages because the rhythm and stories calm me after a busy day, for example I often read a psalm before sleeping which helps me unwind.

提案: Clear preference and reasons, but contains a pronunciation/spelling error (“tatifications”) and a slightly long answer. Use one linking word and correct the word for ‘notifications’ or ‘digital distractions’. Provide a short example of when you choose paper over screen.

例: I prefer reading on paper because screens often strain my eyes and give me headaches. Also, I enjoy the tactile feel of a book and find it easier to concentrate without digital notifications; for instance, I always choose a paperback for novels during long commutes.

提案: The answer addresses the question but has grammatical errors, unclear phrasing (‘scheme read’, ‘short passages or.’) and runs on. Use a clear topic sentence, link reasons with connectors, correct vocabulary (‘skim read’), and give a specific brief example of a document that requires careful reading.

例: I need to read carefully when I deal with legal documents, such as contracts, because small clauses can have big consequences. In contrast, I skim-read short articles or emails when I only need the main idea.

提案: Good contrast between the two modes, but grammar and fluency need polishing (missing articles, filler ‘uh’, singular/plural agreement). Start with a clear topic sentence, use linking words, correct articles and plurals, and give a concise example of each preference.

例: I prefer detailed reading for legal documents and contracts because I want to avoid costly mistakes. However, I usually scan social media posts or short messages to quickly get the gist, for example I skim headlines to decide what to read fully later.

× When I was a child, I used to read a lot.

✓ When I was a child, I used to read a lot.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses past habitual 'used to' to describe repeated past action.

× But lately I've been hooked to reading the Bible and Bible passages because it helps me relax.

✓ But lately I've been hooked on reading the Bible and Bible passages because it helps me relax.

Use of the phrasal verb 'hooked on' is correct; 'hooked to' is incorrect collocation. Replace 'to' with 'on' to form the correct expression meaning 'addicted to' or 'very interested in.'

× I prefer to read on paper because reading on screens tends to strain my eyes and give me a headache after a while.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because reading on screens tends to strain my eyes and give me headaches after a while.

The original is mostly correct but 'a headache' can be plural 'headaches' for general repeated occurrences. Both are acceptable; suggestion changes to plural to match general statement.

× Also, I like the tactile feel of a book and find it easier to concentrate without distractions of tatifications.

✓ Also, I like the tactile feel of a book and find it easier to concentrate without distractions or notifications.

The word 'tatifications' is not a word; likely intended 'notifications' or 'advertisements.' 'Distractions of notifications' is awkward; use 'without distractions or notifications' to list two possible interruptions. This fixes vocabulary and clarity.

× I read carefully when it's a legal document and for example a contract because I want to understand it to avoid mistakes and I only scheme read when it's a short passages or.

✓ I read carefully when it's a legal document, for example a contract, because I want to understand it to avoid mistakes, and I only skim read when it's a short passage.

Multiple errors: word order and articles, wrong word 'scheme' should be 'skim', 'short passages' should be singular 'a short passage' to match 'a', and sentence needed commas for clarity. Reordering improves flow: put the example phrase after the noun with commas, change 'skim read' as the correct verb phrasing, and fix article agreement.

× I prefer detailed reading for legal document and contract because I want to avoid costly mistakes.

✓ I prefer detailed reading for legal documents and contracts because I want to avoid costly mistakes.

Pluralize 'legal document' and 'contract' or add articles ('a legal document and a contract'). Using plurals makes the general statement natural. Also 'detailed reading for' is acceptable; plural forms match general preference.

× But I prefer scanning uh on social media posts or a short messages which is easily understandable.

✓ But I prefer scanning social media posts or short messages that are easily understandable.

Remove filler 'uh' and incorrect article 'a' before 'short messages' (should be plural without 'a'). Use 'that are' to link to plural 'posts or messages.' 'Easily understandable' is fine; use 'that are easily understandable' for clarity.
