Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer more natural and concise, correct vocabulary errors, and use one clear topic sentence followed by specific supporting details. Replace incorrect phrase “bothers my knowledge” with “broadens my knowledge,” and avoid repeating 'reading' too often. Keep to 2–4 sentences and use a linking word when adding the example.

예시: Yes, I do. I enjoy reading because it broadens my knowledge and satisfies my curiosity about new subjects. For example, I usually read after breakfast, focusing on history, politics and economics to understand how the world works.

제안: Good clear opinion and supporting reason. Make it slightly more concise and natural by removing vague phrase “although the digital era is revolutionizing” or rephrase it, and add a linking word to connect reason and example. Use precise vocabulary like 'less distracting' and 'tactile'.

예시: I prefer reading on paper. It is less distracting and helps me concentrate better, so I often visit local bookstores to buy physical copies for a tactile and relaxing experience.

제안: Answer is relevant and contrasts both situations well. Improve fluency by removing fillers (like 'uh') and using linking words (e.g., 'whereas' or 'however'). Be more specific about what you scan for and why you don’t need detail in free time.

예시: I read very carefully when preparing for exams because I must learn key facts and exact details. In contrast, during my free time I usually scan online articles and newspapers to get the main idea quickly, since I am not looking for in-depth information then.

제안: Good reasons given but reduce repetition and correct grammar. Combine sentences to improve cohesion and use linking words. Avoid fragments like 'Do note taking'—use full sentences and correct tense. Add a brief specific example of how you take notes.

예시: I prefer detailed reading because I want to fully understand the author's ideas and learn unfamiliar vocabulary. For example, when I read a difficult book I read each chapter slowly and take notes on new words and key points to review later.

× I enjoy reading because it mainly bothers my knowledge and I am naturally curious to explore new topics and chapters in various books.

✓ I enjoy reading because it mainly broadens my knowledge and I am naturally curious to explore new topics and chapters in various books.

The original uses 'bothers my knowledge', which is incorrect collocation and meaning. 'Bother' does not collocate with 'knowledge' here. The intended meaning is to increase or expand knowledge, so 'broaden(s) my knowledge' is the correct verb phrase. Suggestion: use verbs like 'broaden', 'expand', or 'increase' with 'knowledge'. Grammar problem type: this is a vocabulary/word-choice error affecting verb use; mapped to 'Verb in the present participle form' (type 10) and 'Sentence structure errors' (type 26).

× For example, I usually read after breakfast, especially on history, politics and economy, to explore how the world actually works.

✓ For example, I usually read after breakfast, especially about history, politics, and the economy, to explore how the world actually works.

The phrase 'on history, politics and economy' is awkward and uses the wrong preposition for topics. Use 'about' or 'on' with consistent noun forms; 'the economy' is the correct noun phrase. Also add commas for list clarity. Suggestion: say 'about history, politics, and the economy.' Grammar problem type: Incorrect use of prepositions (type 11).

× I strongly prefer to read books on paper, although the digital era is revolutionizing.

✓ I strongly prefer to read books on paper, although the digital era is bringing many changes.

'The digital era is revolutionizing' is incomplete because 'revolutionizing' needs an object (what is being revolutionized). Replace with 'bringing many changes' or 'revolutionizing how we read' to complete the thought. Suggestion: include the object of 'revolutionize' or use a different verb phrase. Grammar problem type: Sentence structure errors (type 26).

× I prefer that way because it's less distracting and makes me concentrate better.

✓ I prefer that way because it is less distracting and helps me concentrate better.

'Makes me concentrate better' is understandable but 'helps me concentrate better' is more natural. Also expand contraction 'it's' to 'it is' for formality if needed. Pronoun usage 'that way' is acceptable, but changing the verb improves naturalness. Suggestion: use 'help' when describing something that aids concentration. Grammar problem type: Incorrect use of pronouns (type 12) and Sentence structure errors (type 26).

× For example, I usually go to local bookstores to buy physical copies for a tactile and relaxing experience.

✓ For example, I usually go to local bookstores to buy physical copies for a tactile, relaxing experience.

This sentence is mostly acceptable; change is minimal: add a comma between adjectives 'tactile' and 'relaxing' for clarity. No major article error, but ensure 'local bookstores' is fine without 'the'. Suggestion: maintain plural 'bookstores' or use 'the local bookstore' if referring to a specific place. Grammar problem type: Article errors (type 22).

× I read very carefully when I am preparing for exams because I need to understand key facts, details and other information in the test.

✓ I read very carefully when I am preparing for exams because I need to understand key facts, details, and other information in the test.

Main issue was punctuation—add a serial comma for clarity. Tense usage is correct: present continuous 'am preparing' is appropriate for ongoing exam preparation. Suggestion: include commas in lists. Grammar problem type: Present tense issue (type 6).

× And in my free time, I scan online articles and newspapers to quickly get the main idea without, uh, relying on too much detail as well.

✓ In my free time, I scan online articles and newspapers to quickly get the main idea without relying on too many details.

Begin sentence without starting with 'And' for formality. Remove filler 'uh'. Use plural 'details' with 'many' rather than 'too much detail' because 'detail' is countable here in context. Suggestion: say 'without relying on too many details.' Grammar problem type: Sentence structure errors (type 26) and Singular and plural issue (type 1).

× I strongly prefer detailed reading because I want to fully comprehend what the author says and to notice unfamiliar vocabulary so that I can learn it in advance.

✓ I strongly prefer detailed reading because I want to fully comprehend what the author says and notice unfamiliar vocabulary so that I can learn it beforehand.

Do not use 'to' before the second verb when verbs share the same subject and construction; use parallel structure: 'comprehend... and notice'. 'In advance' is acceptable but 'beforehand' is more natural. Suggestion: maintain parallel verb forms and choose the more natural adverb. Grammar problem type: Verb + -ing form / Sentence structure errors (type 8 and 26).

× For example, when I am reading a complicated book, I usually read it carefully. Do note taking on difficult words and important ideas.

✓ For example, when I am reading a complicated book, I usually read it carefully and take notes on difficult words and important ideas.

The second sentence 'Do note taking on...' is ungrammatical. Use a combined sentence with the verb phrase 'take notes on' which is the correct collocation. Suggestion: write 'and take notes on...' to express the action naturally. Grammar problem type: Sentence structure errors (type 26) and Incorrect use of verbs (type 10).
