Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, but slightly long and a bit repetitive. Aim for a concise topic sentence, then one or two supporting details using linking words. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., use 'occupied' alternatives) and avoid repeating phrases like 'I really find'.

예시: I don't read much because I work full time. However, when I have spare moments I usually check news headlines on my phone, and only sit down with a book when I can find a quiet hour.

제안: Strong, specific reasons and clear structure. To improve further, shorten slightly and use a linking word for flow; correct minor grammar ("give" → "gives" or rephrase). Use a synonym to avoid repetition of 'physical book'.

예시: I prefer paper books because prolonged exposure to backlit screens gives me eye strain and headaches. Moreover, I concentrate better with a printed book, especially when studying long passages.

제안: Very good: direct topic sentence, clear contrast, and specific examples. To refine, add a linking word at the start of the second sentence for stronger cohesion and replace 'very carefully' with a more precise phrase like 'attentively'.

예시: I read attentively when studying textbooks or technical material because each sentence can contain important facts or instructions. By contrast, for light reading such as magazines or novels, I usually skim and only read in detail the parts that interest me.

제안: Good idea and relevant to your background, but the answer is repetitive and a little long. Begin with a clear topic sentence, use one linking phrase, and avoid repeating 'sentence' and 'so'. Also tighten wording and add a brief example of how detailed reading helps your studies.

예시: I prefer detailed reading because, as a biology student, important information is packed into each sentence. For example, when I study research papers I read every paragraph carefully to understand methods and results.

× I really find a quiet moment to sit down with a book and I usually just check headlines on my phone when I have a few spare minutes.

✓ I rarely find a quiet moment to sit down with a book, and I usually just check headlines on my phone when I have a few spare minutes.

The original uses 'I really find a quiet moment' which is awkward and likely meant 'rarely' to express infrequency. This is a present tense usage issue: adverb choice affects meaning and naturalness. Use 'rarely' to correctly convey that finding time is uncommon. Also add a comma before 'and' for clarity.

× I prefer reading on paper rather than on screen because prolonged exposure to backlit screens give my eye strain and headaches.

✓ I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because prolonged exposure to backlit screens gives me eye strain and headaches.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'exposure' (singular) requires 'gives' not 'give'. Also pronoun and noun choice: use 'a screen' and 'gives me eye strain' (correct object pronoun and natural collocation). This fixes third person singular and preposition/pronoun usage.

× I prefer reading on paper rather than on screen because prolonged exposure to backlit screens give my eye strain and headaches.

✓ I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because prolonged exposure to backlit screens gives me eye strain and headaches.

Use the article 'a' with 'screen' (on a screen). Also 'my eye strain' is incorrect collocation; 'gives me eye strain' is correct. This is a preposition/article/pronoun collocation issue.

× I also find it easier to concentrate with the physical book, especially when I'm studying or reading long passages.

✓ I also find it easier to concentrate with a physical book, especially when I'm studying or reading long passages.

Use of definite article 'the physical book' implies a specific book; general preference should use 'a physical book'. This is a present tense/general statement article choice issue.

× I need to read very carefully when I'm studying my textbook or technical material, because every sentence can contain important facts or instructions.

✓ I need to read very carefully when I'm studying my textbook or technical material because every sentence can contain important facts or instructions.

Comma before 'because' is unnecessary here; remove it for smoother sentence. No tense change needed. This is an article/punctuation style correction.

× For light readings, such as magazines or novels for fun, I usually skim and only focus deeply on parts that interest me.

✓ For light reading, such as magazines or novels for fun, I usually skim and only focus deeply on parts that interest me.

'Readings' is plural noun that is awkward in this context; 'light reading' (uncountable) is standard. This corrects singular/plural noun usage.

× I would definitely prefer detailed reading over scanning because I'm a bio student so each and every sentence has a fact or an important sentence in it, so I have to read it thoroughly so that I can understand it.

✓ I would definitely prefer detailed reading over scanning because I'm a biology student; each sentence may contain a fact or important point, so I have to read thoroughly to understand it.

Multiple issues: 'bio student' is informal—use 'biology student'. The original repeats 'sentence' and 'so' excessively and has run-on structure. Break into clearer clauses, remove redundancy ('each and every'), and replace 'an important sentence' with 'an important point'. This addresses sentence structure and word choice.
