Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Good direct answer and natural tone. To improve: make the response more concise (max 5 sentences) and add a brief specific detail (what kind of books) with a linking word to enrich content. Also correct minor grammar (e.g., "I usually carry a book in my bag" instead of "have one book in my bag").

예시: Yes, I enjoy reading. I usually carry a novel in my bag, so whenever I have a short break I can open it and read for a few minutes. For example, I often choose contemporary fiction because I like relatable characters and unexpected plots.

제안: Answer states a clear preference but is unclear and contains grammatical errors and an unfinished thought. To improve: give a concise topic sentence, follow with two specific reasons connected by linking words (because/so), and finish the idea. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "retain information" instead of "connect with the words").

예시: I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to retain information and visualise the structure of the text. Also, paper doesn't strain my eyes like screens do, so I can read for longer periods comfortably.

제안: Good contrast between careful and relaxed reading, but the response is somewhat wordy and contains awkward phrasing ("every single detail", "while listening while reading"). To improve: use a clear topic sentence for each situation, add a brief reason for each, and avoid redundancy.

예시: I need to read carefully when preparing for exams because I must understand key facts and remember details. In contrast, during my free time I read novels more casually to relax, so I focus on the story rather than every detail.

제안: Answer contrasts scanning and detailed reading well but has minor language issues and could be more concise. Improve by using linking words (however/whereas), correcting phrasing ("the next day" -> "the next day" is okay but better "the next day"), and giving one clear specific example of each approach.

예시: If I have an exam the next day, I prefer scanning to identify headings and underline key points quickly. However, when I read a short story, I read in detail to appreciate the characters and the plot development.

× 'Yes, I do like reading and whenever I am by myself in my free time I usually have one book in my bag so that whenever I get a chance I'll open it and have my reading time.'

✓ 'Yes, I like reading, and whenever I am by myself in my free time I usually have a book in my bag, so when I get a chance I open it and read.'

'Issues: unnecessary auxiliary 'do' for simple present affirmation and inconsistent tense/modal mix (using "I'll" then describing habitual action). Use simple present for habits: "I like" and "I open it and read." Also simplify "one book" to "a book." Recommendations: remove unnecessary auxiliaries, keep consistent present tense for habitual actions, and shorten wordy phrases.'

× 'My personal preference will always be on paper as it helps me connect with the words as it allows us to think more expandingly, it allows us to think visually as in screen it affects our eyesight and it's an.'

✓ 'My personal preference will always be paper because it helps me connect with the words and allows me to think more expansively; reading on a screen affects our eyesight and is uncomfortable.'

'Issues: Incorrect preposition "on paper" is acceptable but more natural: "preference will always be paper"; "more expandingly" is incorrect adverb form and should be "more expansively"; "as in screen" is incorrect — use "reading on a screen"; sentence fragment "and it's an" is incomplete. Recommendations: use correct adverb forms, fix prepositional phrases ("reading on a screen"), replace plural pronoun "us" with consistent subject "me" or general "us/me", and complete the final clause.'

× 'Whenever I'm studying for my exams, I have to read every single detail written in the notebook very carefully.'

✓ 'Whenever I am studying for my exams, I have to read every single detail written in the notebook very carefully.'

'Issues: minor style — contraction "I'm" is acceptable but inconsistent with other formal sentences. No grammatical tense error; sentence uses present continuous for studying and modal "have to" for obligation correctly. Recommendation: use full form "I am" for consistency and clarity in formal speech.'

× 'And whenever I am in my free time, usually enjoying my novel, I'd spend my time just going through the book until I fall asleep because while listening while reading I feel comfortable.'

✓ 'When I am free and enjoying a novel, I usually spend my time reading until I fall asleep because I feel comfortable listening and reading at the same time.'

'Issues: awkward sentence structure and tense/modal misuse ("I'd spend" suggests conditional but speaker means habitual). Repetition "while listening while reading" is redundant. Recommendations: use simple present for habitual actions ("I usually spend"), remove redundancy, and arrange clauses for clarity.'

× 'When I have an exam next day, I will prefer scanning the text so that I underline the headlines of important topics.'

✓ 'When I have an exam the next day, I prefer scanning the text so that I can underline the headings of important topics.'

'Issues: "I will prefer" is incorrect for habitual or planned preference — use simple present "I prefer." Missing article "the" before "next day." "Headlines" is not the correct word for section titles; use "headings." Also add ability modal "can" to express purpose. Recommendations: use simple present for preferences, include articles where needed, and choose correct nouns.'

× 'But when I am enjoying a short story, I usually go through in detail version as it allows us to get a broader view of the storyline.'

✓ 'But when I am enjoying a short story, I usually read it in detail because it allows me to get a broader view of the storyline.'

'Issues: "go through in detail version" is ungrammatical; use "read it in detail." Pronoun inconsistency: "us" vs "me" — use "me" for personal preference. Recommendations: use clear verb phrases ("read it in detail") and keep pronouns consistent, use simple present for habitual actions.'
