Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and directly responds to the question with relevant details. To improve, make the sentence more natural by avoiding repetition (e.g., saying "novels" twice) and add a brief reason or an example to enrich the response. Keep it concise (no more than 4-5 sentences).

例: Yes, I love reading, especially science fiction and fantasy because I enjoy imaginative worlds and creative storytelling. For example, I recently read Dune and was fascinated by its complex world-building.

提案: Good direct answer with reasons. Improve by tightening language (remove phrases like "from my personal opinion"), correcting grammar ("cost less" -> "costs less", "much expensive" -> "more expensive"), and using a linking word to make it fluent. Limit to 2–3 concise sentences.

例: I prefer reading on a screen because it's more convenient and usually costs less than buying physical books. Also, e-books are easier to carry when I travel.

提案: You answered the question but there are clarity and grammar issues. Avoid talking about "book's owner" which sounds odd; instead say "whose book it is." Fix verb forms and word choice (e.g., "protect it from damage", "I read it the way I like"). Use a linking word to contrast the two situations. Keep it to 2–3 sentences with specific examples.

例: It depends on whose book it is. For instance, if I borrow a library book I read very carefully and avoid damaging it; but if it’s my own copy I’m more relaxed and might mark it or fold pages.

提案: The main idea is clear, but there are repetition and grammar mistakes. Remove repeated words, correct verb forms ("evaluating and analyzing"), and use concise linking to explain reason and contrast (e.g., "because... so"). Avoid saying "very tired"; say "very tiring". Keep it within 2–3 sentences and give a specific example of when you might read in detail.

例: I prefer general reading rather than detailed analysis because evaluating and analyzing every detail can be very tiring. Since I read novels mainly for entertainment, I rarely study them in an academic way, though I might read closely if I need to write a review.

× I prefer reading on screen because it is more convenient than physical books and it cost less because physical books are much expensive.

✓ I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient than physical books and it costs less because physical books are much more expensive.

Errors: missing article before 'screen' (use 'on a screen'); verb agreement 'cost' should be 'costs' to match singular subject 'it' (third person singular); comparative phrase 'much expensive' should be 'much more expensive'. Suggestions: add the indefinite article before 'screen', use third person singular -s for present simple verbs describing 'it', and use 'more' with adjectives of two or more syllables when making comparisons ('more expensive').

× Well, from my personal opinion, I prefer reading on screen because it is more convenient than physical books and it cost less because physical books are much expensive.

✓ Well, in my personal opinion, I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient than physical books and it costs less because physical books are much more expensive.

Error: 'from my personal opinion' is unidiomatic; use 'in my personal opinion' or 'in my opinion'. Also same issues as previous: missing article before 'screen', third person singular verb agreement 'costs', and comparative 'much more expensive'. Suggestion: replace 'from' with 'in' and apply the article and comparative corrections.

× For example, if I borrowed a book from the library, I will treat it very carefully and protect it from damaging.

✓ For example, if I borrow a book from the library, I will treat it very carefully and protect it from damage.

Errors: Conditional mixing past tense 'borrowed' with future 'will' is incorrect; use present simple in the 'if' clause for a real conditional ('if I borrow ... I will ...'). Also 'protect it from damaging' uses the -ing form incorrectly; the correct noun is 'damage'. Suggestion: use the zero/present real conditional structure and replace 'damaging' with 'damage'.

× If it is my own book, I will read it as I the way I like and did not pay attention to the condition of the book.

✓ If it is my own book, I will read it the way I like and will not pay attention to the condition of the book.

Errors: extraneous 'I' in 'as I the way' and wrong tense 'did not pay' when describing a future habitual action; keep consistent future reference with 'will'. Suggestion: remove the extra 'I', use 'the way I like', and keep future tense 'will not pay' to match 'I will read'. Alternatively, for general truths use present simple ('I read it the way I like and do not pay attention...').

× Well, to be honest I prefer general general reading without details because evaluating and analyze all the details from book may be very tired.

✓ Well, to be honest I prefer general reading without details because evaluating and analyzing all the details from a book can be very tiring.

Errors: repeated 'general general'; parallelism and verb form errors: 'evaluating and analyze' should be parallel gerunds 'evaluating and analyzing'; 'may be very tired' misuses 'tired' (which describes a person) instead of 'tiring' to describe an activity; article missing before 'book' and 'may' better as 'can' but 'may' is acceptable. Suggestions: remove the duplicate word, make the coordinated verbs both -ing forms, use 'tiring' for the activity, and add 'a' before 'book'.

× And I read novels for just entertainment. I don't want to take it as a academic training.

✓ And I read novels just for entertainment. I don't want to take them as academic training.

Errors: word order 'for just entertainment' is awkward; better 'just for entertainment'. Pronoun agreement: 'it' refers to 'novels' (plural), so use 'them'. Article error: 'a academic' should be 'an academic' but better to omit the article and say 'academic training' (uncountable). Suggestions: reorder phrase for naturalness, use correct plural pronoun, and use 'an' before vowel sounds if keeping the article or omit when referring to uncountable 'training'.
