Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers ("umm") and repetition, and correct grammar (e.g. "enhance" and "understand things more clearly"). Give one brief reason and an example. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

예시: I don't enjoy reading much; I prefer watching videos because visual cues help me focus and understand events more clearly. For example, I find documentaries easier to follow than long articles.

제안: Good structure and clear reasons. Improve naturalness by fixing small grammar errors ("It really depends") and tighten linking words: use "however" sparingly and connect ideas smoothly. Keep sentences concise and varied vocabulary (e.g. "annotate" is good).

예시: It really depends on the topic. For study materials I prefer paper because I can annotate and take clearer notes; however, for news and short articles I usually read on a screen because it's more convenient and searchable.

제안: Provide a direct topic sentence answering the question and avoid vague endings. Give specific examples and complete your final thought ("could affect" what?). Use linking words ("however", "for example") and correct phrasing ("I get distracted easily"). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

예시: I generally try to read carefully whenever the material is important, especially study materials like textbooks and lecture notes, because misunderstandings could affect my grades. For less important items, such as casual blog posts, I skim quickly.

제안: Strong, clear response with a good example. Minor improvement: vary vocabulary to avoid repetition ("read carefully", "detailed reading") and add a brief linking phrase for cohesion. Keep answers concise (2–3 sentences).

예시: I prefer detailed reading because scanning often makes me lose focus and miss key facts. For example, when I skim articles I forget important points, so I read thoroughly to ensure full understanding.

× I prefer watching something rather than read, and this is mainly because visual things, umm, enhances my focus and I can more understand what's happening clear clearly.

✓ I prefer watching something rather than reading, and this is mainly because visual things enhance my focus and I can better understand what's happening clearly.

The parallel structure requires both verbs after 'prefer' to be in the same -ing form ('watching' and 'reading'). 'Enhances' is incorrect because its subject 'visual things' is plural, so the verb should be 'enhance'. 'I can more understand' is awkward; use 'I can better understand'. Remove duplicate adverb 'clear clearly' and use a single correct adverb 'clearly'. Suggestion: keep parallel verb forms and ensure subject-verb agreement and proper adverb placement.

× It's really depends on the topic.

✓ It really depends on the topic.

Use the simple present 'depends' without 'is' because 'it depends' is the correct fixed expression. 'It's depends' mixes 'be' with an inflected verb and is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use 'It depends' or 'It really depends'.

× For study materials, I prefer reading on a paper because I can annotate and take clear notes.

✓ For study materials, I prefer reading on paper because I can annotate and take clear notes.

The phrase 'on paper' is the correct idiom; using the indefinite article 'a paper' implies a single sheet or specific newspaper, which does not match the general meaning. Suggestion: omit the article when speaking about the medium in general ('on paper').

× However, for articles or news, I usually read on a screen because it's more convenient and easier to search.

✓ However, for articles or news, I usually read on a screen because it's more convenient and easier to search.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; no change needed. Explanation: the present tense usage and structure are correct. (Included to indicate no correction required.)

× To be honest, I don't really distinguish between times when I should read carefully and when I shouldn't.

✓ To be honest, I don't really distinguish times when I should read carefully from times when I shouldn't.

The verb 'distinguish' requires the preposition 'from' when contrasting two sets ('distinguish A from B'). The original sentence used 'between...and', which is less natural with 'distinguish' in this context. Suggestion: use 'distinguish A from B' or rephrase 'I can't tell when I should read carefully and when I shouldn't.'

× Whenever I read something, I try to concentrate because I get distracted easily.

✓ Whenever I read something, I try to concentrate because I get distracted easily.

This sentence is correct as written; tense and structure are appropriate. (Included to indicate no correction required.)

× However, I pay particular attention to my study materials, such as textbooks or lecture notes, because misunderstanding them could affect.

✓ However, I pay particular attention to my study materials, such as textbooks or lecture notes, because misunderstanding them could have consequences.

The verb 'affect' is transitive and requires an object (e.g., 'could affect my grades'). Ending the clause with 'could affect' is incomplete. Replace with a noun phrase like 'could have consequences' or specify the object ('could affect my grades'). Suggestion: complete the idea by adding the object or use a noun phrase.

× I prefer detailed reading because when I scan a text I tend to lose concentration and often miss important details.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because when I scan a text I tend to lose concentration and often miss important details.

This sentence is grammatically correct; the use of 'detailed reading' and the clause 'when I scan...' are appropriate. (Included to indicate no correction required.)

× For instance, when I skim articles, I forget key facts, so I read carefully to make sure I fully understand the information.

✓ For instance, when I skim articles, I forget key facts, so I read carefully to make sure I fully understand the information.

This sentence is correct. 'Skim' is correctly used in the present tense for habitual action and 'read carefully' fits the contrast. (Included to indicate no correction required.)
