Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then provide one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid colloquial fillers like "not my cup of tea" without clarification and reduce repetition.

예시: I don't enjoy reading very much, but I do read in my spare time because it helps me learn about topics I like. For example, I often read articles on history and science to keep up to date with new discoveries.

제안: Good clear preference and a specific reason. Improve coherence by using a stronger topic sentence and one linking phrase, and avoid minor grammar slips ("on a paper" -> "on paper"). Keep it to two or three concise sentences.

예시: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because it feels more convenient. For example, I can easily flip pages and make notes directly on the page, which helps me review information faster.

제안: Be specific and avoid vague or repetitive phrasing. Give a clear contrast between situations requiring careful reading and those that do not, using a linking word like "whereas" or "but". Replace vague expressions like "be more curious and more serious" with concrete actions (e.g., "double-check answers, highlight key points").

예시: I need to read very carefully during exams or when reviewing important documents because mistakes can be costly. By contrast, when I'm reading for pleasure I skim more and focus on general ideas rather than every detail.

제안: Clarify your preference or explain when you use each method. Avoid repeating phrases and improve sentence structure. Use linking words like "sometimes" or "however" and provide a brief example of when you scan and when you read in detail.

예시: I use both methods depending on the situation. For instance, I scan articles quickly to find relevant sections, but I read textbooks in detail when studying for exams so I fully understand the concepts.

× No, really, 'cause I think that's not my cup of tea, although I do try to do it in my spare time and I find reading really useful because it helps me to gain my knowledge about specific topics of interest, such as history or science and technology.

✓ No, really, because I think that's not my cup of tea; however, I do try to read in my spare time, and I find reading useful because it helps me gain knowledge about specific topics of interest, such as history or science and technology.

The informal contraction ''cause'' should be replaced with ''because'' in formal speech; the sentence runs on and needs clearer connectors: use a semicolon or period before 'however' to join contrasting ideas. 'Try to do it' is wordy — use 'try to read'. 'Gain my knowledge' is incorrect collocation; use 'gain knowledge' or 'increase my knowledge'. Also remove redundant 'really' before 'useful'. Suggestions: replace informal conjunctions with formal ones, split long sentences, and choose appropriate collocations.

× As far as I'm concerned, I prefer reading on a paper rather than on a screen 'cause I think it's more convenient as we can tilt the page back and forth.

✓ As far as I'm concerned, I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because I think it's more convenient, since we can tilt the page back and forth.

Use 'reading on paper' not 'on a paper' — 'paper' is an uncountable medium here, so the article 'a' is incorrect. Replace informal ''cause'' with 'because' and 'as' with 'since' or keep one conjunction to avoid repetition. Also add a comma before the explanation. Suggestion: treat media words like 'paper' as uncountable when referring to the medium in general.

× For example, I find it easier to review or make notes from the paper straight away.

✓ For example, I find it easier to review or make notes on paper straight away.

Use the correct preposition 'on' with 'make notes' and 'on paper' is more natural than 'from the paper' when referring to the medium. No -ing form error in verb forms, but preposition use affects phrasing. Suggestion: use common collocations like 'make notes on paper'.

× Personally, I think when I'm writing an exam or doing something serious, I need to look at the paper more carefully in comparison to reading a book or doing a spare time activity.

✓ Personally, I think when I'm taking an exam or doing something serious, I need to look at the paper more carefully compared to reading a book or doing a leisure activity.

Use 'taking an exam' rather than 'writing an exam' in natural English. 'In comparison to' is wordy; 'compared to' is more concise. 'Spare time activity' is better as 'leisure activity'. Suggestions: choose idiomatic verb phrases and concise comparative expressions.

× So I think I need to be more curious and more serious to look at the paper by reading it carefully.

✓ So I think I need to be more curious and more serious when I read the paper, so I will read it carefully.

The original has awkward structure 'to look at the paper by reading it carefully' and unclear purpose. Use a time clause 'when I read the paper' and state the intended action clearly. Suggestion: rewrite sentences to show timing and purpose clearly, avoid redundant phrasing.

× Well, I try to do scanning and reading everything in a detailed manner.

✓ Well, I try to do both scanning and detailed reading.

'Do scanning and reading everything in a detailed manner' is wordy and unidiomatic. Use 'both' to link the two methods and 'detailed reading' as a noun phrase. Suggestion: use concise parallel structures for paired activities.

× I try to do or use both the methods always when I read something even carefully or when I'm given an exam 'cause I think that it's making me to learn or read something more carefully.

✓ I always try to use both methods when I read, even when I'm taking an exam, because I think they help me learn and read more carefully.

Problems: unnecessary 'do or use', wrong article 'both the methods' should be 'both methods', adverb placement ('always' should come before the verb), 'given an exam' is better as 'taking an exam', informal ''cause'' -> 'because'. 'It's making me to learn' is ungrammatical — use 'they help me learn' or 'they help me to learn' (no 'making me to'). Suggestions: place adverbs correctly, remove unnecessary words, use correct verb patterns after 'help' (base form without 'to' or with 'to').
