Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 質問にはまず「Yes, I do.」と直接答え、その後に理由と具体例を加えると、より自然で効果的です。「learn reading」はこの文脈では不自然なので、「I enjoy reading」または「I learned to read」と言いましょう。また、「different or regional language books」「Japanese type of books」は意味が曖昧です。「books in different languages」「Japanese novels」など、具体的で自然な表現を使ってください。内容は一文が長く、接続が不明確なので、2～3文に分け、becauseやespeciallyで論理的につなげるとよいでしょう。

例: Yes, I do. I especially enjoy reading Japanese novels and books in different languages because they help me learn about other cultures. I also like them because the illustrations are attractive and the stories are rarely boring.

提案: 紙と画面のどちらが好きかを最初に明確に述べてください。現在の回答は「trade books」「collections books」「take」などが文脈に合わず、文法的にも不自然です。「read books on paper」「buy a physical copy」「read online」と表現しましょう。紙を好む場合と画面を使う場合の条件を、howeverやwhenで整理すると、より一貫性が出ます。

例: I generally prefer reading on paper, especially when I am reading a book that I really like. I enjoy owning a physical copy and looking at the details more closely. However, if I am short of time, I usually read articles or e-books on my phone because it is more convenient.

提案: テストでは注意深く読むが、雑誌や短い記事では速く読むという対比はよいですが、表現が不明確です。「If it is the reading test, not else」「deadly reading task」「Latura Magazine or Port」は意味が伝わりにくいため、「In a reading test」「for casual reading」「magazines or online articles」と言い換えてください。whenやwhereasを使って対比を明確にし、具体的な理由も一つ加えましょう。

例: I need to read very carefully when I am taking a reading test because I do not want to miss any important details. However, when I am reading a magazine or a short online article for pleasure, I usually read more quickly. I only slow down if I find something particularly interesting.

提案: 「両方を使い分ける」という主張は質問に適切に答えていますが、「I prefer both depends」は「I use both, depending on the material」とする必要があります。また、「Stani」はおそらく「scanning」だと思われるため、正しい語を使ってください。回答が途中で終わっているため、最大5文以内で完結させ、scanningを使う場面とdetailed readingを使う場面を具体例とともに説明しましょう。

例: I use both methods, depending on the material and my purpose. I usually scan a book or an article when I want to decide whether it is suitable for me or when I am short of time. However, I prefer detailed reading for my favourite books because I enjoy noticing new details when I read them again.

× Yes, I learned reading.

✓ Yes, I learned to read.

After learn, use the to-infinitive when referring to the skill that was acquired. Learned reading is not the natural structure here.

× I prefer to learn different or regional language books.

✓ I prefer to read books in different or regional languages.

Use the preposition in to show the language of the books. The original structure incorrectly places language before books.

× The illustration is really interesting, and the content actually is not boring at all.

✓ The illustrations are really interesting, and the content is not boring at all.

Because the student is discussing books in general, illustration should be plural and must agree with the plural subject illustrations.

× If we prefer to trade books, reading on the paper actually is when some collections books that I really want to take.

✓ If I prefer to read books on paper, it is usually because there are some books that I really want to keep.

The original sentence contains several incomplete and incorrectly connected clauses. The correction uses a clear conditional structure with a complete subject and verb.

× Reading on the paper is preferable.

✓ Reading on paper is preferable.

When paper is used as a general reading medium, English normally uses the expression on paper without the definite article.

× There are some collections books that I really want to take.

✓ There are some collections of books that I really want to keep.

The noun collection needs the preposition of before the noun it describes. The there are structure is used because the following noun phrase is plural.

× I would rather buy one to check everything detailed.

✓ I would rather buy one to check everything in detail.

In detail is the correct adverbial expression for describing how something is checked. Detailed is an adjective and cannot modify the verb check in this position.

× I would rather I do not bother.

✓ I would rather not bother.

After would rather, use not followed by the base verb when the subject remains the same. The original sentence uses an unnecessary clause and an incorrect verb form.

× But if I do not have time, I would rather not bother and just directly check online by using my phone.

✓ But if I do not have time, I would rather not bother and just check it online on my phone.

The correction connects the two actions with and and gives check a clear object. This makes the sentence structurally complete and natural.

× If it is the reading test, I definitely have to read everything carefully.

✓ If it is a reading test, I definitely have to read everything carefully.

Use the indefinite article a when referring to any reading test rather than one specific test already identified.

× I have to read everything carefully and to make sure I did not neglect any details.

✓ I have to read everything carefully and make sure I do not neglect any details.

This answer describes a general requirement, so use the present tense do not neglect. Also, the two verbs after have to should have parallel forms: read and make.

× But it is the daily reading task or something that Latura Magazine or Port, I will not be that careful.

✓ But if it is a daily reading task or something from Latura Magazine or Port, I will not be that careful.

The conditional clause needs if, not the conjunction that. The preposition from is also needed to show the source of the material.

× I do not, I will not be that careful.

✓ I will not be that careful.

The original sentence unnecessarily combines a present-tense clause with a future-tense clause. Since the intended meaning is a future result in the conditional situation, use only will not.

× I prefer both depends on different types of materials.

✓ I prefer both, depending on the type of material.

The phrase I prefer both is already complete, so depends cannot follow it as a main verb. Depending correctly introduces the condition, and material is used in the general uncountable sense.

× Usually, if I choose to have a little bit of the time, I would rather use scanning.

✓ Usually, if I have a little time, I would rather use scanning.

Time is uncountable in this meaning, so use a little time rather than a little bit of the time. The definite article the is unnecessary.

× If I want to know if it is the book that fits me well, then I would rather use scanning.

✓ If I want to know whether a book fits me well, then I would rather use scanning.

Use the indefinite article a when referring to any book, not one specific book already identified. Whether is also the natural conjunction for an indirect yes-or-no question.

× For the detail reading, it is for my favourite books.

✓ Detailed reading is for my favourite books.

Detailed is the adjective that modifies reading. Detail is a noun and cannot directly modify reading in this structure.

× My favourite books, and I really love to read it again.

✓ My favourite books, and I really love to read them again.

The pronoun must agree with the plural noun books. Therefore, use them instead of the singular pronoun it.

× I really love to read them again to find some.

✓ I really love to read them again to find something new.

The phrase find some is incomplete because some needs a noun or must be replaced by an appropriate pronoun. Something new completes the meaning and makes the sentence grammatically complete.
