Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (plural 'books', remove filler words), and give one or two brief supporting reasons using linking words. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and avoid repetition.

例: Not really. I don't enjoy reading books much because I often find them slow and boring. Instead, I prefer listening to music or watching TV since they help me relax and recharge after a busy day.

提案: Improve vocabulary accuracy and fluency: replace incorrect words ('shoot' -> 'store' or 'carry') and remove fillers. Use linking words ('however', 'so') correctly and quantify or explain briefly. Keep sentences clear and grammatical.

例: I prefer reading on a screen because it's convenient to store many books on one device. However, screens give me eye strain, so I usually limit my reading to about three hours a day.

提案: Clarify tense and verb choices, and structure the answer with a clear topic sentence. Use linking words (first, then, because) correctly and give a specific example of when careful reading is needed. Avoid vague phrases like 'did anything'.

例: I usually scan headlines first and only read an article carefully if it interests me or is important to my work. For example, when researching for a report I read the whole article slowly to understand facts and check sources.

提案: Make the response coherent and grammatical: state a clear preference or balanced view, then explain sequence using linking words (first, then). Correct awkward phrases ('Eyes can test', 'I'm with carefully') and give a concise example.

例: I use both methods: first I scan a text to get an overview and save time, and then I read carefully when the information is complex or important. For instance, I skim news articles but read academic papers in detail.

× No I don't really like reading book, I find it it's so boring.

✓ No, I don't really like reading books; I find them so boring.

The noun 'book' should be plural ('books') because 'reading' in general refers to more than one book. Also the pronoun must agree with the plural noun ('them' instead of 'it'). Add a comma after 'No' and replace the repeated 'it it's' with 'them'. Suggestion: use plural nouns when referring to general activities and ensure pronouns agree in number.

× I prefer listening to music and watching TV because it helps me relax and recharge my energy after busy day.

✓ I prefer listening to music and watching TV because they help me relax and recharge my energy after a busy day.

The compound subject 'listening to music and watching TV' is plural, so the verb should be 'help' not 'helps'. Also use the plural pronoun 'they' to refer back to the two activities. Add the article 'a' before 'busy day'. Suggestion: ensure verbs and pronouns agree with compound subjects and include articles with singular countable nouns.

× I prefer reading on screens because it's so convenient to store and shoot many books on one device.

✓ I prefer reading on screens because it's so convenient to store many books on one device.

The verb 'shoot' is incorrect in this context; probably intended 'store' or 'carry'. Remove the redundant verb. 'Store many books on one device' is the correct phrase. Suggestion: choose verbs that match the intended meaning; 'store' or 'carry' fit digital books.

× However, reading on screens gives me, umm, eye strain, so I usually limit 3 hours per day for reading on it.

✓ However, reading on screens gives me eye strain, so I usually limit it to three hours per day.

Use 'it' to refer to the activity 'reading on screens' and place the time expression after 'limit' with 'to' (limit it to three hours). Spell out numbers in formal speech ('three'), and remove filler 'umm' in written correction. Also avoid repeating 'per day' after rephrasing. Suggestion: place objects after 'limit' with 'to' and ensure pronoun references are clear.

× When I did anything, I usually scan the headlines 1st and then edit carefully the article that interest me because it saves my time and helps me focus on the details that matter.

✓ When I do anything, I usually scan the headlines first and then edit carefully the articles that interest me because it saves me time and helps me focus on the details that matter.

Mixing past 'did' with habitual 'usually' is incorrect; use present simple 'do' for habits. Use 'first' instead of '1st', and plural 'articles' and plural verb 'interest' must agree. Also 'save my time' is better as 'saves me time'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions, use plural agreement for nouns and verbs, and avoid numerals/abbreviations in speech.

× I prefer both scanning and detailed reading. Eyes can test 1st to get an overview and save time and then I'm with carefully to understand important details on complex information.

✓ I prefer both scanning and detailed reading. I first scan to get an overview and save time, and then I read carefully to understand important details in complex information.

The original has unclear subjects and awkward phrasing: 'Eyes can test' is incorrect; use first-person 'I first scan'. Replace '1st' with 'first', and 'I'm with carefully' is ungrammatical—use 'I read carefully'. Use 'in complex information' for correct preposition. Maintain parallel structure. Suggestion: use a clear subject ('I'), maintain parallel verb forms, and choose appropriate prepositions.
