Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 回答は意図は伝わりますが、文法ミス、不自然な表現、冗長さがあります。まず過去の習慣を述べるときは過去形を使い、理由を述べる際は一文で明確にまとめましょう。また「vivid character」「Give me encourage and kind」は意味が曖昧で不自然です。具体的には“my grandmother used to tell me fantastic stories”や“the characters are vivid and encouraging”のように言い換えると自然になります。話すときは最大5文に収め、主題文→理由→具体例の順で構成してください。

例: Yes, I enjoy reading every day because my grandmother used to tell me wonderful stories when I was a child. For example, I love the Harry Potter series because the characters are vivid and inspiring, which encouraged me to read more as a child.

提案: 内容は明確で理由も述べられていますが、いくつか語彙と表現の不自然さがあります。“causes less stress on my eyes”は自然ですが、“without the distances you often get on screens”は意味が不明瞭です。代わりに“without the distractions you often get on screens (such as app notifications)”のように言うと良いです。接続表現（For example）は適切ですが文章を短く保つとより効果的です。

例: I prefer reading on paper because it is easier on my eyes and feels more comfortable. For example, paper books let me put them down and return later without the distractions you get on screens, such as app notifications.

提案: この回答は意図が不明瞭で文法的な誤りが多いです。“When I sleep English”は意味不明なので修正が必要です。多分“study English”を言いたかったと思われます。さらに“lead and the main sentences”より“the headline and the main paragraphs”など具体的な語彙を使うと良いです。理由は簡潔にし、“acknowledge”はここでは不適切なので“learn”や“understand”に置き換えてください。

例: When I study English, especially with English newspapers, I read carefully the headlines and main paragraphs because I want to understand the main idea and learn new vocabulary.

提案: 良い構成で理由と具体例もありますが、文法と語彙の誤りが見られます。“scanning let me”は時制一致で“lets me”が正しく、“worth leading in detail”は不自然で“worth reading in detail”が適切です。接続語と語形に注意して、答えを簡潔に保ちましょう。

例: I prefer scanning because it helps me spot the main ideas quickly. For example, when I have many books to review, scanning lets me decide which ones are worth reading in detail.

× Yes, I like reading books every day because my grandmother retelled about the fantastic story for me as a child.

✓ Yes, I like reading books every day because my grandmother told me fantastic stories when I was a child.

The verb 'retelled' is incorrect; the correct past tense of 'retell' is 'retold', but here 'told' is more natural. Also 'about the fantastic story for me' is ungrammatical; use 'told me fantastic stories' and place the time phrase 'when I was a child' at the end for clarity. Suggestion: use 'told me' or 'retold' correctly and reorder the sentence.

× Especially, I like Harry Potter series because it's a vivid character.

✓ Especially, I like the Harry Potter series because it has vivid characters.

A 'series' is a noun that contains many characters, so 'it's a vivid character' is wrong. Use 'the Harry Potter series' with the definite article and plural 'characters'. The verb 'has' describes possession. Suggestion: ensure noun and adjective agree in number and use appropriate verb to describe possession.

× Give me encourage and kind.

✓ The characters are encouraging and kind.

'Give me encourage and kind' is ungrammatical: 'encourage' is a verb or uncountable noun, and the structure doesn't fit. Likely the student meant the characters give encouragement or are encouraging and kind. Use adjectival form 'encouraging' and 'kind' to describe characters. Suggestion: use correct adjective forms and subject-verb structure.

× I prefer reading on paper because it causes less stress on my eyes and feels more comfortable.

✓ I prefer reading on paper because it causes less strain on my eyes and feels more comfortable.

'Stress on my eyes' is understandable but 'strain' is the more natural collocation. Pronoun use is acceptable here; primary issue is word choice. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'strain on my eyes.'

× It's also easier to put your book down and come back to it later without the distances you often get on screens, for example app notifications.

✓ It's also easier to put your book down and come back to it later without the distractions you often get on screens, for example app notifications.

'The distances' is incorrect in this context; the intended meaning is 'distractions.' Also add 'the' before 'screens' is optional, but word choice was the main error. Suggestion: use 'distractions' to refer to interruptions like notifications.

× When I sleep English, especially when I read English newspapers, I pay close attention to the lead and the main sentences, because I want to understand the main idea and new vocabulary and acknowledge.

✓ When I study English, especially when I read English newspapers, I pay close attention to the lead and the main sentences because I want to understand the main idea and learn new vocabulary.

'Sleep English' is incorrect; likely intended 'study English.' 'Acknowledge' is misused; use 'learn' or 'recognize' for vocabulary. Remove unnecessary comma before 'because'. Suggestion: replace incorrect verbs with 'study' and 'learn', and streamline the sentence structure.

× I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading because it helps me identify the main ideas quickly.

✓ I prefer scanning to detailed reading because it helps me identify the main ideas quickly.

'Prefer X rather than Y' is acceptable but 'prefer X to Y' is more common and idiomatic with gerunds. Suggestion: use 'prefer A to B' when comparing preferences.

× For example, when I have many books to go through, scanning let me decide which ones were worth leading in detail.

✓ For example, when I have many books to go through, scanning lets me decide which ones are worth reading in detail.

'Scanning let me' has subject-verb agreement error; 'scanning' (singular gerund) requires 'lets'. 'Leading in detail' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'reading in detail'. Also 'were worth' should be present 'are worth' because the preference is general. Suggestion: use correct verb forms and collocations: 'lets' and 'reading in detail'.
