Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer more concise, correct grammar and reduce repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific supporting details, and avoid self-corrections. Use varied vocabulary appropriately.

예시: Yes, I love reading. It helps me relax and clear my mind; for example, after a stressful day at university I usually read a short novel to unwind. Reading also inspires me and I can imagine myself still enjoying books in fifty years' time.

제안: Clarify the preference with a direct topic sentence and specific reasons. Fix grammar errors and avoid vague phrasing. Use linking words to compare situations.

예시: It depends on the situation. I prefer paper when I travel, such as on a plane, because it gives me a break from screens. However, at school I often read on my phone because it is more convenient and I can carry many books in one device.

제안: Provide a clear topic sentence and specific examples of materials that require careful reading. Correct phrasing and avoid repetition; use linking words to contrast when careful reading is not necessary.

예시: I need to read carefully when dealing with important academic materials, such as assignment instructions, research articles and textbook chapters, because a small mistake can affect my grades. In contrast, I do not read carefully when browsing social media or skimming news headlines, where I only look for main points.

제안: Start with a direct statement of your preference, then explain with clear examples and appropriate linking words. Improve grammar and word choice (e.g., 'fiction' and 'classics'). Avoid redundancy.

예시: It depends: I scan texts when I'm in a hurry or searching for specific information, such as dates or keywords. However, I prefer detailed reading for novels and classic literature because I want to understand characters, themes and subtle meanings.

× Reading is like I woven into the fabric of reality.

✓ Reading is like I am woven into the fabric of reality.

The original sentence uses 'woven' (past participle) without an auxiliary verb, which is incorrect for the intended present-state meaning. Use the present simple passive or a linking structure with the present tense auxiliary 'am' to show a current state: 'I am woven into...'. Alternatively, rephrase to 'Reading is like a thread woven into the fabric of reality' to avoid awkward personification.

× For me, reading is not something that I would do just to perform.

✓ For me, reading is not something I would do just to perform.

The original sentence is understandable but contains an unnecessary 'that' which can be omitted for more natural modern English. Removing 'that' improves sentence flow. Also consider replacing 'perform' with a clearer verb like 'show off' if that was intended.

× It's something that I would do to clear my mind because whenever I read, I feel so peaceful.

✓ It's something I do to clear my mind because whenever I read, I feel peaceful.

Use present simple 'do' rather than conditional 'would' to express habitual actions. Remove redundant 'that' and duplicate intensifier 'so' for conciseness. Habitual actions are normally expressed with present simple.

× This is where I find my solace and I can I can still see my self in the next 50 years still.

✓ This is where I find my solace, and I can still see myself in the same way in 50 years.

The original has repetition ('I can I can'), incorrect spacing in 'my self', and redundant 'still'. 'Myself' should be one word. Clarify the time phrase with 'in 50 years' and avoid duplicate words. Use a comma before 'and' joining two independent clauses.

× It depends on these that are accessible for me.

✓ It depends on what is accessible to me.

The phrase 'these that are accessible for me' is ungrammatical. Use 'what' to refer to things in general, and the preposition 'to' (accessible to someone) is standard. Alternatively, 'the ones that are accessible to me' is acceptable.

× For example when I read in a plane I prefer reading on a paper because I just need to take a screen break into my phone and whenever I am bored in school I I just use my phone.

✓ For example, when I read on a plane I prefer reading on paper because I need a screen break from my phone, and whenever I am bored at school I just use my phone.

Use 'on a plane' or 'on the plane' depending on context; 'on paper' (no article) is idiomatic. 'Take a screen break from my phone' is the correct prepositional phrase; 'into my phone' is incorrect. Use 'at school' rather than 'in school' for being physically present; both can be correct but 'at school' fits this context. Remove duplicate 'I'.

× When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

✓ When do you need to read carefully, and when do you not?

The second clause lacks the auxiliary 'do' required in questions. Mirror the auxiliary 'do' to form a grammatically complete question: 'when do you not?'. Alternatively, 'and when don't you?' is more natural.

× As a student in my daily basis of school life, I always read carefully of the instructions, especially in our research, the research literature and other textbooks.

✓ As a student in my daily school life, I always read the instructions carefully, especially in our research, the research literature, and other textbooks.

'On a daily basis' or 'in my daily school life' are correct; the original 'in my daily basis of school life' is ungrammatical. 'Read carefully of the instructions' is wrong—use 'read the instructions carefully'. Add commas to separate list items. Keep word order: adverb 'carefully' follows the verb or the object.

× That's when I read very, very carefully so that I can clear any misconception or any misunderstanding that I can concur and.

✓ That's when I read very carefully so that I can clear up any misconception or misunderstanding that I may have.

Use present simple 'read' for habitual action; remove extra 'very'. The verb 'clear' must be followed by the particle 'up' in this context: 'clear up any misconception'. 'Concur' is incorrect here; use 'have' to indicate the misconception you hold, or 'encounter' if you meant face. End the sentence with the object 'I may have'.

× It depends on the situation when whenever I am in hurry or I just need to find the keywords I'm into scanning.

✓ It depends on the situation; when I'm in a hurry or just need to find keywords, I scan (I do scanning).

Use 'in a hurry' (with article) and avoid 'when whenever' (redundant). For habitual actions use present simple 'I scan' or 'I do scanning' — not 'I'm into scanning', which suggests a preference rather than the immediate action. If keeping '-ing', say 'I do scanning' or 'I prefer scanning'.

× But when I'm reading novels or stories fiction I always do detailed readings so that I can understand each aspect of that situation.

✓ But when I'm reading novels or fictional stories, I always do detailed reading so that I can understand each aspect of the text.

'Stories fiction' is incorrect word order; use 'fictional stories' or simply 'fiction'. 'Detailed readings' should be 'detailed reading' (uncountable) to describe the activity. 'That situation' is vague—'the text' or 'the situation in the story' is clearer.

× Especially in classics book because it's very hard for me to understand deeper meaning.

✓ Especially in classic books, because it's very hard for me to understand the deeper meanings.

Use plural 'classic books' or 'a classic book'. 'Classics book' is incorrect. 'Deeper meaning' should be 'the deeper meanings' (or 'the deeper meaning') and include the definite article 'the' when referring to specific implied meanings.
