Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Улучшите грамматику и ясность выражения, избегайте неверных конструкций и неполных мыслей. Начните с прямого ответа, затем добавьте 1–2 конкретных детали (что читаете и как это помогает). Следите за согласованием времен и предлогами (например, "help" → "helps", "reading about my horizons" → "broadens my horizons").
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading a lot; it helps me relax after a busy day. I usually read non-fiction and contemporary fiction, and this broadens my horizons by exposing me to new ideas and perspectives.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Исправьте неправильные слова и формы, используйте более естественные выражения. Начните с прямого выбора, объясните причину и приведите конкретный пример. Убедитесь в корректности времён и конструкций (например, "it's enabled me" → "it helps me" или "it enables me").
Ví dụ: To be honest, I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to concentrate. For example, when I read printed books I remember details better and read for longer without eye strain.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Сделайте ответ короче и яснее: сначала дайте тему, затем одну конкретную причину и пример применения. Избегайте тавтологии ("read carefully" и "more carefully"), используйте связки (e.g., "for instance").
Ví dụ: I read carefully when the material is complex, such as articles about human consciousness or psychology. For instance, I slow down and take notes when I study academic essays to make sure I grasp the main arguments.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: Будьте решительнее в ответе и уточните значение терминов. Дайте предпочтение и объясните причину с примером. Избегайте противоречий ("I don't know" и затем выбор). Также проясните выражение "serious moments" — лучше сказать "key points" или "important parts".
Ví dụ: I prefer scanning when I need to find key points quickly, for example when researching a topic online. However, for important sections or difficult ideas I switch to detailed reading to fully understand them.
× Yes, I really enjoy reading, it's one of my hobbies that help me relax after a busy day.
✓ Yes, I really enjoy reading; it's one of my hobbies that helps me relax after a busy day.
Subject-verb agreement: 'one' is singular and requires singular verb 'helps' not 'help'. Also pronoun 'that' refers to 'one of my hobbies' which is acceptable. Use a semicolon or period to join independent clauses for clarity.
× Besides, I think reading about my horizons.
✓ Besides, I think reading broadens my horizons.
Wrong verb phrase: 'reading about my horizons' is ungrammatical. Use the verb 'broaden' with object 'my horizons' to express expansion of knowledge. 'Broaden' must be in present tense to match general statement.
× Frankly, sticking.
✓ Frankly, I'm undecided.
'Sticking' alone is a fragment and does not form a complete sentence. Use a subject and verb to convey meaning, e.g., 'I'm undecided' or 'I'm sticking with...' depending on intended meaning.
× I prefer reading on paper because it's enabled me to understand the book much better.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because it enables me to understand books much better.
Tense and article issues: 'it's enabled me' incorrectly uses past participle and contraction; use simple present 'it enables' for general preference. Also 'the book' is too specific; use 'books' (general) or 'a book' if referring to any single book. Plural 'books' fits the general statement.
× I usually read carefully when I read complex themes like human consciousness and the complexities of relationships.
✓ I usually read carefully when I encounter complex topics like human consciousness and the complexities of relationships.
Repetition of 'read' is awkward; use present tense verb 'encounter' to indicate when the action occurs. 'Themes' can be replaced with 'topics' for natural usage.
× In my view, I need to read such pages more carefully to understand them much better.
✓ In my view, I need to read such passages more carefully to understand them better.
Word choice: 'pages' is literal; 'passages' or 'texts' is more appropriate. 'Much better' is redundant with 'more carefully'; 'better' alone is sufficient. Maintain present tense 'need'.
× Frankly speaking, I don't know, but I prefer scanning, especially on serious moments, to understand the end.
✓ Frankly, I'm not sure, but I prefer scanning, especially in serious situations, to get an overview of the ending.
Awkward phrasing: 'I don't know' is vague; 'I'm not sure' fits better. 'Serious moments' is unnatural; use 'serious situations'. 'To understand the end' is awkward—'to get an overview of the ending' is clearer. Ensure sentence is complete and coherent.
