Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, but could be more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one brief specific detail or reason using a linking word. Avoid unnecessary wording like “used to” when present preference is enough.

예시: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially Tamil story books. For example, I like contemporary short stories because they help me relax after classes, whereas I find college textbooks dry and less engaging.

제안: Good points, but the answer is slightly disorganized and contains tense inconsistency. Begin with a clear statement of preference, then use linking words to explain why and give a concise example. Remove vague phrases like “most of the times” and correct tense usage.

예시: I usually prefer reading on paper because I retain information better. However, I make notes on a screen for convenience; for instance, I use an Apple Pencil to annotate PDFs quickly.

제안: The content is appropriate but the phrasing is slightly awkward and the sentence structure can be improved. Use a clear contrast with linking words (e.g., “whereas”) and be more specific about what “playful” means in this context.

예시: I need to read carefully when dealing with legal documents or exam question papers because accuracy is crucial. Whereas with messages from friends or family, I read casually and focus more on the tone than exact details.

제안: Your answer shows willingness to read in depth, but it is repetitive and contains grammatical errors. Provide a concise topic sentence, then give one specific reason and an example. Avoid repeating the phrase “detailed reading.”

예시: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand topics deeply and learn new information. For example, I often spend over an hour studying a research article to grasp the main arguments and take notes.

× Yes, I like to read Tamil story books but not regular textbooks which my college used to give me to study.

✓ Yes, I like reading Tamil story books, but not the regular textbooks my college gave me to study.

The original sentence mixes infinitive 'to read' with a more natural gerund 'reading' after 'like'; this is a preference style issue (use reading). Also 'used to give me' implies a habitual past but is unnecessary; simple past 'gave me' is clearer. Add 'the' before 'regular textbooks' to specify. Suggestion: use 'I like reading' and use simple past for completed past actions.

× I prefer most of the times to read on paper, but I make notes on screen.

✓ Most of the time, I prefer to read on paper, but I make notes on a screen.

The phrase 'most of the times' is incorrect; correct idiom is 'most of the time'. Place it at the start for natural flow. Also use article 'a' before 'screen' when speaking generally. Maintain infinitive 'to read' after 'prefer'.

× It will be easy. I used to use Apple Pencil to take notes.

✓ It is easier. I used to use an Apple Pencil to take notes.

Context refers to a habitual or general present situation so present tense 'is' or comparative 'is easier' fits better than future 'will be'. Keep 'used to use' if describing a past habit; add article 'an' before 'Apple Pencil'. If speaker still uses it, say 'I use an Apple Pencil'.

× I should be very careful when I'm reading legal documents, then question papers.

✓ I should be very careful when I'm reading legal documents, and then exam question papers.

Use 'and then' to show sequence or addition; 'then' alone is awkward here. Also 'question papers' is clarified as 'exam question papers' for natural phrasing. Tense is present continuous appropriately used for reading in progress.

× I can be playful when I'm reading and text messages from my friends, my families.

✓ I can be playful when I'm reading text messages from my friends and family.

The original misconnects verbs and nouns; combine 'reading' with its object 'text messages'. Use 'family' (singular collective) rather than 'families' unless referring to multiple separate families. Also use 'and' to join 'friends and family'.

× I would prefer detailed reading because I might gain some knowledge from it.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because I can gain knowledge from it.

'I would prefer' is conditional and less direct; simple present 'I prefer' better matches habitual preference. 'Might gain some knowledge' is weak—'can gain knowledge' is clearer. Also 'detailed reading' is fine as a noun phrase.

× I can spend time on read detailed reading like more than one hour.

✓ I can spend time doing detailed reading for more than an hour.

Incorrect structure 'spend time on read detailed reading' mixes forms. Use 'spend time doing' plus gerund. Use 'for more than an hour' for duration. Remove redundancy by not repeating 'detailed'.

× Also I don't have any issues.

✓ Also, I don't have any issues.

Add a comma after 'Also' for natural punctuation. The sentence is otherwise fine; no article change needed. If context expects specificity, 'any issues' is acceptable; otherwise 'I have no issues' is alternative.
