Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Focus on clarity and accuracy: start with a direct topic sentence, correct word choice and tense, avoid repetition, and keep to at most five sentences. Provide one or two specific details (types of books or hobbies) using linking words. Also correct obvious mistakes ("greeting" → "reading", "I'm usually reading read books" → "I usually read books") and use simple past/present appropriately.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading a lot. I especially like contemporary fiction because the stories are engaging and relatable. For example, last weekend I finished two novels about family life, which I found very moving. I often read in the evenings to relax after work.

提案: Good direct answer and relevant reason. Improve by adding a linking phrase and a contrasting point to show balance, and be slightly more specific about convenience (storage, search, brightness). Keep answers concise and error-free.

例: I prefer reading on a screen because it is very convenient and portable. For instance, I can carry hundreds of books on my phone or a Kindle and easily adjust the font size. However, I sometimes prefer paper for long novels because it feels more comfortable to the eyes.

提案: Improve grammar and clarity: give a clear topic sentence, then use linking words to contrast the two situations. Be specific about what "reading carefully" means (note-taking, highlighting) and what type of reading is relaxed. Fix grammar: "if I want to entertaining" → "if I want to be entertained" or "for entertainment".

例: I need to read carefully when I study or prepare for exams because I have to take notes and understand details. In contrast, when I read for entertainment, such as comic books or light fiction, I usually read more casually and skip parts that are less interesting.

提案: The answer is unclear and contains contradictions. Start with a clear preference, then explain reasons with linking words. Avoid filler words (uh) and give concrete examples of when you scan versus read in detail. Correct grammar and coherence: explain why you like details and how that relates to scanning or detailed reading.

例: I generally prefer scanning when I want to find specific information quickly, for example when researching a topic online. However, I also enjoy detailed reading for novels because I appreciate character development and rich descriptions, which makes me want to reread favorite passages.

× Yes, I really like greeting especially.

✓ Yes, I really like reading, especially.

The student likely intended 'reading' but wrote 'greeting' (wrong word). Also the position of 'especially' is better placed after a comma for clarity. Suggestion: proofread for word choice and place adverbs like 'especially' after the part they modify.

× I have so many, many books.

✓ I have so many books.

This sentence is grammatical but redundant use of 'many' is stylistically weak. Remove the repeated 'many' to make the sentence natural. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary repetition unless used for emphasis in spoken language.

× I'm usually reading read books in the weekends.

✓ I usually read books on the weekends.

Errors: 'I'm usually reading read' mixes continuous and base form incorrectly; use simple present 'I usually read' for habitual actions. Use preposition 'on' with 'the weekends' or more naturally 'on weekends'. Remove extra 'read'. Suggestion: use simple present for habits and correct preposition: 'on weekends' or 'on the weekends'.

× I prefer to read on a screen because it is so convenient.

✓ I prefer to read on a screen because it is so convenient.

Sentence is correct. No change needed. Included to confirm correctness. Suggestion: keep as is; alternatively 'on screens' or 'on a screen' both acceptable depending on meaning.

× When I go out, I can bring a phone or Kindle to read every time, everywhere.

✓ When I go out, I can bring a phone or a Kindle to read anywhere, anytime.

Use 'a Kindle' with an article. 'Every time, everywhere' is awkward; native order is 'anywhere, anytime' or 'anytime, anywhere'. Suggestion: use articles with countable nouns and choose conventional adverb order.

× I think when I study I need to read carefully, but if I want to entertaining I usually not need to read carefully.

✓ I think when I study I need to read carefully, but if I want to be entertained I usually do not need to read carefully.

Errors: 'want to entertaining' is incorrect; use 'want to be entertained' (infinitive + past participle) or 'want entertainment' or 'want to be entertained'. Negation 'usually not need' is incorrect order in English; use 'usually do not need'. Suggestion: use correct verb patterns (want to + base verb or want to be + past participle) and auxiliary do for negation in present simple.

× Yes, I prefer scanning, uh, reading.

✓ Yes, I prefer scanning reading.

The phrase 'scanning, uh, reading' is disfluent and unclear. 'Scanning reading' is odd; better: 'I prefer scanning' or 'I prefer scanning to detailed reading.' Suggestion: choose a clearer phrase: 'I prefer scanning' or 'I prefer skimming rather than detailed reading.'

× Uh, I like details in the books because it's so funny and I want to read again.

✓ I like details in books because they're so interesting and I want to read them again.

Problems: 'it's so funny' incorrectly uses singular 'it' to refer to 'details' (plural) and 'funny' may not match intended meaning—use 'interesting' rather than 'funny' for book details. Use plural pronoun 'they're' and include object 'them' for 'read again.' Suggestion: match pronoun number to the noun and choose appropriate adjective (interesting, enjoyable) and include necessary objects.
