Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence stating your attitude, then give one or two specific reasons or examples. Reduce fillers (umm, uh) and avoid repetition. Keep answers within 3–4 sentences and use linking words (because, so) to connect ideas.

예시: I don’t enjoy reading much, but I read daily because I’m preparing for exams. Because I need to improve my comprehension, I follow a study plan and read articles and textbooks for at least an hour each day. This routine has helped me get better at understanding complex texts.

제안: Clarify and correct vocabulary, remove fillers, and provide a brief reasoned contrast. Use linking words (however, because) and a specific example describing why paper is preferable to you.

예시: It depends, but I prefer reading on paper. Many people choose screens because they are convenient and portable; however, I like paper because the tactile feel and quiet atmosphere help me focus better when I study.

제안: Start with a direct topic sentence and give a clear contrast using linking words (but, when). Provide a specific example of a situation requiring careful reading and one that doesn't. Avoid vague phrases and filler words.

예시: I need to read carefully when I’m studying for exams, especially when I review academic articles or textbook chapters that contain important facts and arguments. But I don’t read carefully when I browse news or social media, where I only skim headlines for general information.

제안: Give a concise topic sentence stating your preference, then explain why with a specific reason and an example. Avoid hesitations and informal fillers. Use linking words (because, so) to show cause and effect and keep within 3–4 sentences.

예시: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand the full context and main ideas. For example, when I read academic articles, I read slowly and take notes so I don’t miss important points; scanning usually leaves me confused about the author’s argument.

× Well, to be honest, I'm not a massive fan of reading.

✓ Well, to be honest, I'm not a big fan of reading.

'Massive fan' is informal and not incorrect grammatically, but 'big fan' is more natural and idiomatic in this context; change improves register. Suggestion: use 'big fan' for natural spoken English.

× I'm not really into reading, but since umm I have exams, I'm obligated to read every day.

✓ I'm not really into reading, but since I have exams, I'm obligated to read every day.

Remove filler 'umm' for clarity; grammatically sentence is fine. 'Since' correctly introduces reason; no tense change needed. Suggestion: avoid fillers in responses.

× Umm, in order to improve my reading skills.

✓ I do it in order to improve my reading skills.

Original is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb (Sentence structure error). Add subject and verb to make a complete sentence. Suggestion: combine with previous sentence or supply verb (I do it).

× Actually, it depends.

✓ Actually, it depends on the situation.

'It depends' is grammatically possible but vague; adding 'on the situation' clarifies the pronoun reference. Suggestion: specify what 'it' refers to for clearer communication.

× many people prefer to read on a screen since it's more convenient and they can read whenever they want no matter where they're located.

✓ many people prefer to read on a screen since it's more convenient and they can read whenever they want, no matter where they are located.

Insert comma before 'no matter' for clarity; 'they're located' is acceptable but 'they are located' is clearer. This fixes clarity and punctuation rather than core grammar error. Suggestion: add comma and avoid contractions in formal speech.

× I know it's a bit old school, but the wives and the atmosphere hits different.

✓ I know it's a bit old school, but the vibes and the atmosphere hit differently.

Original has multiple issues: 'wives' is likely a mispronunciation of 'vibes' (lexical error), 'hits' disagrees with plural subject 'vibes and atmosphere' (subject-verb agreement), and 'hits different' is informal slang. Correction uses 'hit differently' to form a comparative adverb. Suggestion: use 'vibes' and match verb to subject; use 'differently' for adverb.

× As I've mentioned before, I don't read frequently.

✓ As I mentioned before, I don't read frequently.

Present perfect 'I've mentioned' is acceptable, but 'As I mentioned before' is more natural in spoken recounting of previous statement. No strict error; suggestion improves register. Use simple past for a specific past mention.

× However, when I'm preparing for my exams, then I have to concentrate.

✓ However, when I'm preparing for my exams, I have to concentrate.

Remove unnecessary 'then' which makes sentence awkward. 'When' already indicates time sequence. Suggestion: avoid redundant connectors.

× I have to look in and read books carefully, for example, articles.

✓ I have to read books and articles carefully.

'Look in' is incorrect and unnecessary; 'read books and articles carefully' is concise and grammatically correct. Suggestion: use direct verbs and correct noun order.

× Yeah, it requires too much concentration.

✓ Yes, it requires a lot of concentration.

'Too much concentration' implies negative excess; if meaning is that it needs a high level of focus, 'a lot of concentration' is clearer. Suggestion: choose wording that matches intended meaning.

× To be honest, I prefer detailed reading.

✓ To be honest, I prefer reading in detail.

Both forms are acceptable; 'reading in detail' is more natural. No strict grammatical error. Suggestion: prefer 'reading in detail' for idiomatic expression.

× So I want to tell that umm.

✓ So I want to say that...

Use 'say' rather than 'tell' when not specifying an indirect object. 'Tell' requires someone being told (tell someone something). Also remove filler 'umm'. Suggestion: use 'say' or include object with 'tell'.

× I have tried scanning and I'm not gonna lie, but with that technique I don't fully understand the, uh, context of the text.

✓ I have tried scanning, and I'm not going to lie, but with that technique I don't fully understand the context of the text.

Replace informal 'gonna' with 'going to' and remove filler 'uh'; add comma after 'scanning'. Grammar otherwise okay. Suggestion: avoid contractions and fillers for clearer speech.

× Like I can't clearly get what's happening there.

✓ I can't clearly understand what's happening there.

'Get' is informal; 'understand' is more appropriate. Also move 'clearly' before verb for better adverb placement. Suggestion: use 'understand' and place adverb before main verb.

× So I'm more with umm.

✓ So I prefer detailed reading.

Original is an unfinished fragment lacking an object; replace with clear concluding sentence. Suggestion: finish the sentence with the intended position to avoid fragments.
