Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Câu trả lời của bạn rõ ràng và hợp lý, nhưng cần chú ý thì động từ (helped → helps) và một vài ngữ pháp nhỏ. Nên tóm tắt chủ đề ngay ở câu đầu, rồi đưa thêm 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ thể loại sách yêu thích hoặc một cuốn sách gần đây) để câu trả lời tự nhiên và thuyết phục hơn. Hạn chế lặp từ và nói lan man (ví dụ “And you know”).

例: Yes, I do. I enjoy reading because it helps me broaden my knowledge and understand different perspectives. For example, I often read popular science books, which explain complex ideas in a simple way and help me see the world more clearly.

提案: Ý tưởng rõ nhưng có lỗi ngữ pháp và một vài cụm từ không chính xác (e.g. “bring them anyway”, lặp “on a screen on mobile phones”). Nên nói trực tiếp, dùng liên từ để nối ý hợp lý và bổ sung lý do cụ thể (ví dụ tiết kiệm không gian, dễ tìm kiếm).

例: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient and portable. For instance, I keep dozens of books on my phone, so I can read while commuting and quickly search for information when I need it.

提案: Nội dung chưa rõ và có nhầm lẫn từ (e.g. “contacts” → contracts; “your contacts” không phù hợp). Câu trả lời nên bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề trực tiếp, sau đó nêu ví dụ cụ thể và giải thích hậu quả nếu không đọc kỹ. Chú ý chính tả và dùng từ chính xác.

例: I need to read carefully when signing contracts or reading official emails, because a small mistake can have serious consequences. For example, I always double-check contract terms and the sender’s address to avoid misunderstandings or legal problems.

提案: Ý chính ổn nhưng câu có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và thiếu cụ thể (e.g. “helped me on going”, “information of your world”, câu kết không hoàn chỉnh). Nên nói rõ lý do, dùng linking words (because, so, moreover) và thêm thời lượng cụ thể nếu muốn. Tránh câu dài lủng củng.

例: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me focus and unwind after a busy day. For example, I usually spend about 30–45 minutes each evening reading a novel, which helps me relax and understand characters and ideas in depth.

× Yes, definitely, I am really into reading because it helped me broaden my knowledge and I can know more about how the world is.

✓ Yes, definitely, I am really into reading because it helps me broaden my knowledge and I can learn more about how the world is.

The student used 'helped' (past) but the general truth about reading requires present simple 'helps'. Also 'can know' is unnatural; use 'can learn' or 'know' with present simple. Use present tense for habitual or general facts. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions or general truths: 'reading helps me' and 'I can learn more'. Examples: 'Reading helps me broaden my knowledge.' 'I can learn more about the world.'

× And you know, reading books help me relax and reduce my stress.

✓ And you know, reading books helps me relax and reduce my stress.

The subject 'reading books' is singular (a gerund phrase), so the verb must be 'helps' not 'help'. Suggestion: Match singular subjects with singular verbs: 'reading books helps'. Examples: 'Reading helps me relax.' 'Eating vegetables helps my health.'

× Due to technological development, I prefer reading on a screen because it is very convenient and is a great way to bring them anyway.

✓ Because of technological development, I prefer reading on a screen because it is very convenient and a great way to carry books with you.

'Due to' is acceptable but 'Because of' is more natural here; main issue is 'bring them anyway' which is awkward and unclear. Use 'carry books with you' or 'take them anywhere'. Also avoid repeating 'because' twice; streamline sentence. Suggestion: Replace vague phrase with clear prepositional phrase: 'carry books with you' or 'take them anywhere'. Examples: 'It is a great way to take books anywhere.'

× Also, I usually read on a screen on mobile phones.

✓ Also, I usually read on a screen, on my mobile phone.

Minor wording and number agreement: 'mobile phones' is plural while referring to the student's device; use 'my mobile phone' or 'mobile phones' with 'on' generalization. Add comma for clarity. Suggestion: If speaking about your own habit use 'my mobile phone'; if general, 'on mobile phones'. Examples: 'I usually read on my mobile phone.' 'Many people read on mobile phones.'

× Well, I need to read carefully when I sign contacts or read official emails because simple emails can be important.

✓ Well, I need to read carefully when I sign contracts or read official emails because even simple emails can be important.

'Contacts' is incorrect; correct noun is 'contracts'. Also add 'even' to emphasize that 'simple emails' may be important. 'Sign contracts' is correct collocation. Suggestion: Use correct noun 'contracts' and add 'even' for emphasis. Examples: 'I need to read carefully when I sign contracts.' 'Even simple emails can be important.'

× For example, I always check news or your contacts to avoid mistake.

✓ For example, I always check the news or my contacts to avoid mistakes.

'Your contacts' wrongly addresses examiner; should be 'my contacts' meaning the student's contacts. 'Check news' needs article 'the news'. 'Avoid mistake' needs plural 'mistakes' or 'a mistake'. Suggestion: Use appropriate possessive pronoun and correct noun forms: 'the news', 'my contacts', 'avoid mistakes'. Examples: 'I check the news.' 'I check my contacts to avoid mistakes.'

× Well, I prefer detailed reading because it helped me on going and take a break from my daily routines.

✓ Well, I prefer detailed reading because it helps me relax and take a break from my daily routines.

'Helped' is past tense but the statement expresses a habitual present preference; use present 'helps'. 'On going' is incorrect; use 'relax' or 'unwind'. Also maintain parallel verbs: 'relax and take a break'. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual effects and correct verb choice 'relax' or 'unwind'. Examples: 'Detailed reading helps me relax.' 'It helps me take a break from my routine.'

× Additionally, detailed reading help me understand more about information of your world and I usually read every evening for about.

✓ Additionally, detailed reading helps me understand more about the world, and I usually read every evening for about an hour.

'Help' should be 'helps' (subject-verb agreement). 'Information of your world' is awkward and likely incorrect pronoun use; use 'the world'. The time expression 'for about' is incomplete; add a duration such as 'about an hour'. Suggestion: Fix agreement, use natural noun phrases 'the world', and complete time expressions: 'for about an hour'. Examples: 'Detailed reading helps me understand more about the world.' 'I usually read every evening for about an hour.'
