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

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
수험생
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer detailed reading because I'm a careful person and I like to read, uh, thoroughly. When I read in detail, I remember more facts and understand ideas better, where all scanning usually gives me, uh, only a superficial understanding and often focus me to reread the text later.
Do you like reading?

점수: 65.0제안: Clarify the contrast: you wrote you read carefully both for exams and for relaxation—fix the second part to say you read less carefully when relaxing. Correct grammar and word choice (e.g., “for relaxing” -> “to relax”; “memories in details” -> “remember details” or “memorize details”). Use a linking word (e.g., “whereas”/“but”) to signal contrast and give a short example for each case.

× I especially enjoy reading biographies and books about successful people because their experience sovereignly and offer practical advice.
✓ I especially enjoy reading biographies and books about successful people because their experiences provide practical advice.
The original sentence has two issues: 'experience sovereignly' is incorrect word choice and form. 'Experience' should be plural 'experiences' to match 'people' (each person has experiences) — this is a singular/plural issue (ID 1). 'Sovereignly' is the wrong word; the intended meaning is 'provide' or 'offer' — use a verb that correctly connects 'experiences' to 'practical advice'. Replace with 'provide' to make a clear subject-verb relationship. Suggestion: use 'experiences provide practical advice'. (Note: This correction meets the allowed error types: singular/plural issue and verb choice.)
× I prefer reading on paper book because it has a special appeal.
✓ I prefer reading from a paper book because it has a special appeal.
The phrase 'on paper book' is ungrammatical. Use the preposition 'from' with 'book' or say 'a paper book' with correct article placement. This involves incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11) and article/noun phrase order (ID 22). 'From a paper book' or 'a paper book' is correct; here 'from a paper book' clarifies the medium. Suggestion: say 'reading from a paper book' or 'reading a paper book'.
× The texture and the smell of a book makes made reading more enjoyable for me.
✓ The texture and smell of a book make reading more enjoyable for me.
There are two errors: subject-verb agreement and incorrect verb form. 'The texture and smell' is a compound subject (plural), so the verb should be 'make' not 'makes' — this is a subject-verb agreement error (ID 27). Also 'makes made' mistakenly repeats verbs; only 'make' is needed. Remove the extra 'made' and use the base form 'make'. Suggestion: keep compound subjects plural and use a single appropriate verb: 'make reading more enjoyable.'
× However, I also like reading on a screen because it is very convenient and lets me carry many books on one device.
✓ However, I also like reading on a screen because it is very convenient and lets me carry many books on one device.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change is necessary. (No error under the provided types.)
× If I need to prepare for an assessment or an exam, I read the material carefully to identify key points and remember important information.
✓ If I need to prepare for an assessment or an exam, I read the material carefully to identify key points and remember important information.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable: conditional present with habitual present in result clause is fine for describing typical study habits. No correction required.
× But when I read for relaxing, such as novels or magazines, I read carefully and focus on enjoying the story rather than memories in details.
✓ But when I read for relaxation, such as novels or magazines, I read casually and focus on enjoying the story rather than memorizing details.
Multiple issues: 'read for relaxing' is incorrect word form; use the noun 'relaxation' (ID 13 adjective/adverb issue and ID 26 sentence structure). 'Read carefully' contradicts intended meaning of relaxed reading — use 'read casually' or 'read for pleasure'. 'Memories in details' is incorrect; the intended idea is 'memorizing details' or 'remembering details' but 'memorizing details' fits better (verb usage and noun phrase order issues: IDs 8/9/26). Also replace 'in details' with 'details' or 'in detail'. Suggestion: 'read for relaxation' and 'focus on enjoying the story rather than memorizing details.'
× As far as I'm concerned, I prefer detailed reading because I'm a careful person and I like to read, uh, thoroughly.
✓ As far as I'm concerned, I prefer detailed reading because I'm a careful person and I like to read thoroughly.
Main issue is filler 'uh' which is fine in speech but should be removed in written correction. Otherwise sentence is correct. No grammatical category error besides unnecessary interjection. Keep adverb 'thoroughly' after the verb 'read'.
× When I read in detail, I remember more facts and understand ideas better, where all scanning usually gives me, uh, only a superficial understanding and often focus me to reread the text later.
✓ When I read in detail, I remember more facts and understand ideas better, whereas scanning usually gives me only a superficial understanding and often forces me to reread the text later.
Several errors: 'where all' is incorrect conjunction/connector; use 'whereas' or 'while' to contrast (ID 16). 'Gives me, uh, only' should be 'gives me only' — remove filler and keep adverb placement (ID 20). 'Often focus me to reread' is ungrammatical; use 'forces me to reread' or 'makes me reread' — correct verb pattern required (ID 26 and ID 8). Also maintain verb forms: 'forces me to reread' uses correct infinitive after 'force'. Suggestion: use 'whereas scanning usually gives me only a superficial understanding and often forces me to reread the text later.'
