Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more grammatical and concise: begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Correct verb forms (e.g., 'I like reading', 'I usually read') and avoid hesitations/repetitions. Also give one concrete example of a recent book to sound more specific and natural.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading. I usually read in the morning or before bed, and I like a variety of books, such as novels and popular economics. For example, I’m currently reading a religious text, the Bible, to learn about its stories and ideas.

提案: Start with a concise direct answer (paper or screen) then give two clear reasons using linking words: first..., second.... Avoid repeating phrases and improve collocation (say 'paper books' or 'print books').

例: I prefer reading on paper. First, screens strain my eyes after a while. Second, I enjoy the tactile feeling of holding a print book, which makes reading more pleasant.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence then two contrasting specific examples. Improve grammar (e.g., 'when I read scientific papers' not 'about the scientist') and avoid vague phrases like 'massive result' — be specific about what you look for (methods, data, conclusions). Finish sentences fully.

例: I need to read very carefully when I’m reading scientific papers because, as a plant biology research assistant, I must understand the methods, data and conclusions precisely. By contrast, when I read novels for fun I relax and focus more on the story and characters rather than details.

提案: Answer directly ('detailed reading') then provide two linked reasons with clearer language and fewer repetitions. Correct collocations ('detailed reading' or 'reading in detail') and shorten sentences to stay within five sentences. Give a brief example of what you notice in detail (character descriptions, scenes).

例: I prefer detailed reading rather than scanning. Because I read relatively slowly, I like to savour the details the author provides, such as vivid character descriptions and settings, which help me imagine the scenes. For example, when I read a novel I focus on how the author describes a place to build a mental picture.

× Yeah, I would like to reading and I would usually read it during the mornings or before I sleep.

✓ Yeah, I would like to read and I usually read in the mornings or before I sleep.

The phrase 'would like' should be followed by the base form of the verb, not the -ing form. Also 'would usually read it' is awkward; use 'I usually read' to indicate habitual action. Use 'in the mornings' for time expressions. Suggestion: after 'would like' use 'to' + base verb (to read); for habits use simple present ('I usually read').

× So I I like many types of the books such as novel or just some economy book or I'm recently reading a Bible religious book.

✓ I like many types of books such as novels or some economics books, and recently I'm reading a religious book about the Bible.

Do not use 'the' before a general plural noun 'books'. Use plural forms 'novels' and 'economics books' to match general categories. Word order: 'religious book about the Bible' is clearer than 'Bible religious book'. Use present continuous 'I'm recently reading' -> 'recently I'm reading' or 'I'm recently reading' is acceptable but clearer as 'recently I'm reading'. Suggestion: remove unnecessary article, pluralize categories, and place adjectives before nouns in natural order.

× I prefer reading on the papers first because I think reading on the screens is hurting my eyes and the second is I prefer I like the touch, the feelings when I touch the books, the paper books.

✓ I prefer reading on paper because I think reading on screens hurts my eyes. I also like the feel of paper books when I touch them.

Use 'reading on paper' (uncountable) not 'on the papers'. 'Screens' is correct without 'the'. 'Is hurting' should be simple present 'hurts' for general truth. 'The second is I prefer I like' is redundant; simplify to 'I also like'. Use 'the feel of paper books' and plural pronoun 'them' for books. Suggestion: use simple present for habits/general truths, use uncountable 'paper', and avoid redundant phrases.

× So I prefer reading with my own book.

✓ So I prefer reading from my own book.

More natural preposition is 'from' when indicating the source you read. 'With my own book' is understandable but non-native. Suggestion: use 'from' or 'my own copy' depending on meaning.

× I think the times I need to read carefully is about the scientist because I am now a research assistant in plant biology field.

✓ I think the times when I need to read carefully are about scientific papers because I am now a research assistant in the field of plant biology.

The sentence has subject-verb agreement and wording issues. 'The times' is plural so use 'are'. 'About the scientist' is incorrect; likely 'scientific papers' or 'scientific material'. Use 'in the field of plant biology' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: match plural subject with plural verb and use clearer noun phrases.

× So when I'm reading a paper, I really need to read carefully about this massive result and its explanation.

✓ So when I'm reading a paper, I really need to read carefully about these significant results and their explanations.

Number agreement: 'this massive result' suggests singular but 'results' likely plural; 'its explanation' should agree in number. Use adjectives 'significant' or 'detailed' for clarity. Suggestion: ensure nouns and pronouns agree in number and choose precise adjectives.

× But if I just read a novel for the entertainment, I think I can be more relaxed, just enjoy the.

✓ But if I just read a novel for entertainment, I can be more relaxed and just enjoy it.

Remove the unnecessary article 'the' before 'entertainment'. The clause ends abruptly 'enjoy the.' Replace with 'enjoy it' to refer to the novel. Suggestion: use 'for entertainment' and ensure pronoun refers clearly to the object.

× I prefer details reading it first because I'm not the one reading fast, so normally I more prefer to enjoy the detail that the authors added into the stories that can help me to fill my imaginations and just make me feel interested in doing this process.

✓ I prefer detailed reading first because I'm not a fast reader, so I usually prefer to enjoy the details that the authors add into the stories; they help me fill my imagination and make me interested in the process.

Use adjective 'detailed' rather than noun 'details' before 'reading'. 'Reading it first' is redundant. Use 'a fast reader' instead of 'the one reading fast'. 'More prefer' is incorrect; use 'prefer' or 'usually prefer'. Verb tense: 'authors add' (present simple) for habitual actions. 'Fill my imagination' is preferred phrasing. Suggestion: use appropriate adjective forms, avoid redundant words, and use consistent present simple for habitual actions.

× And 2nd is I think.

✓ And secondly, I think so.

This fragment is incomplete and unclear. Use a connector like 'Secondly' and complete the thought ('I think so' or state the second reason). Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments; provide a complete idea.
