Reading— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Begin with a clear topic sentence answering the question directly, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid repetition and correct grammar (tense and phrasing). Aim for shorter, clearer sentences and include an example or brief consequence to make your point concrete.

예시: Not really. I find it hard to concentrate when I read, so my mind often wanders after ten minutes. For example, when I study for exams I sometimes re-read the same paragraph several times and still fail to understand it, which makes reading frustrating.

제안: Start with a direct preference sentence, then give two clear, specific advantages using linking words (for example, 'because' and 'also'). Avoid informal or repetitive phrasing and fix small grammar issues. Keep it concise and coherent.

예시: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient. For example, I can quickly search for unclear terms or use AI tools to get explanations, and I can highlight and copy text easily, which saves time compared to taking photos of a book.

제안: Answer directly and avoid filler phrases. Use linking words like 'when' and 'whereas' to contrast the two situations. Provide one clear example of careful reading and one of casual reading, and correct informal expressions.

예시: I need to read carefully when I'm preparing for exams because I must understand facts and details. In contrast, I don't read carefully when I'm reading light novels or magazines, since I read them mainly for entertainment.

제안: Give a direct answer first, then explain briefly why, using past and present examples with linking words like 'for example' or 'because'. Remove hesitation words ('uh') and redundancies. Provide one concise reason and an illustrative example.

예시: I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading because I enjoy getting the main idea quickly. For example, as a child I would open encyclopedias and only read headings and look at pictures, and I still skim articles today to decide which ones deserve a deeper read.

× my mind keeps jumping 10 minutes.

✓ my mind keeps jumping every 10 minutes.

Time expressions often require a preposition or adverb to show frequency. Adding 'every' clarifies that the mind jumps at intervals. Use 'every 10 minutes' to indicate repeated occurrences rather than a bare number.

× I'll concentrate and read and try to understand and some next I'll keep reading but I'll not understand what I'm studying.

✓ I'll concentrate, read, and try to understand, but later I'll keep reading without understanding what I'm studying.

Run-on sentence and awkward sequencing create confusion. Use parallel verb forms ('concentrate, read, and try') and a contrasting conjunction ('but') to connect the opposite idea. 'Some next' is incorrect; 'later' or 'afterward' is appropriate. 'I'll not understand' is grammatically valid but 'I'll...without understanding' is more natural.

× I personally like reading from screen because it has more advantages if you read from your laptop.

✓ I personally like reading on a screen because it has more advantages if you read on your laptop.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'screen' and 'laptop' when referring to reading material displayed on a device. 'From screen' is unnatural in this context.

× If you don't understand something you can just copy paste and ask some AI tool like ChatGPT or Gemini.

✓ If you don't understand something, you can just copy and paste it and ask an AI tool like ChatGPT or Gemini.

Add a comma after the conditional clause for clarity. 'Copy paste' should be 'copy and paste' as a verb phrase, and specify the object ('it') being copied. Use 'an AI tool' for correct article usage.

× But if you read from book you have to take a picture which takes a lot of time or you have to if you don't understand.

✓ But if you read from a book, you have to take a picture, which takes a lot of time, or you have to type the text if you don't understand.

Missing articles and incomplete clause. Use 'a book' and add commas to set off the nonrestrictive clause. The final part was incomplete; supply a plausible completion ('type the text') to convey meaning.

× OK, you put me on spot with this question because I never thought about it.

✓ OK, you put me on the spot with this question because I had never thought about it.

Idiomatic phrase is 'on the spot'. Use past perfect ('had never thought') to indicate that the thoughtlessness occurred before the current moment of being asked.

× I think I need to read carefully before the night of the exam and I can just not read carefully when I'm just reading random novels and all.

✓ I think I need to read carefully the night before an exam, and I don't need to read carefully when I'm just reading random novels.

'Before the night of the exam' is awkward; 'the night before an exam' is natural. Use consistent negative construction: 'I don't need to read carefully' instead of 'I can just not read carefully'. Remove redundant 'just' and 'and all' for clarity.

× I love to scan books, uh, even when I'm 10 years old, I just used to open encyclopedia and I just used to read the heading and just see the pictures, that's all.

✓ I loved scanning books; even when I was 10 years old, I used to open encyclopedias and just read the headings and look at the pictures, that's all.

Tense consistency: describe a past habit with past tense ('loved', 'used to', 'was 10 years old'). Use plural 'encyclopedias' or 'an encyclopedia' and plural 'headings'. 'See the pictures' is better as 'look at the pictures'.

× And I love to do that for some reason, even I don't know the reason.

✓ And I love doing that for some reason, even though I don't know why.

Use 'doing' after 'love' for preference of activity. 'Even I don't know the reason' is ungrammatical; use 'even though I don't know why' or 'even if I don't know the reason' for correct subordinate structure and natural phrasing.
