Do you like reading?
Điểm: 86.0Gợi ý: もっと具体的な理由や感情、例を加えて自然さと説得力を高めましょう。たとえば、なぜ漫画や推理小説が好きか(登場人物に共感する、筋が面白い、絵が魅力的など)、姉と読むときの具体的な活動(貸し借りの頻度や一緒に話し合うこと)を短く付け加えると良いです。また、文は簡潔に保ち、冗長な表現を避けてください。

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 79.0Gợi ý: 理由は示せていますが、詳細な説明や比較を加えて説得力を上げましょう。また、接続詞を使って構成を明確にするとよいです(例えば “because” に続けてさらに結果や対策を述べる)。可能なら具体的な状況(通勤中、就寝前など)を入れると良いです。

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 90.0Gợi ý: はっきりした意見と理由があり良いです。さらに説得力を出すために、具体的な状況(例えば試験勉強や趣味の読書での読み方の違い)や、スキミングが必要な場合の対処法(速読の練習やメモを取る)を短く加えるとより実践的です。

× I prefer paper books to digital ones because staring at a screen for long time makes my eyes tired.
✓ I prefer paper books to digital ones because staring at a screen for a long time makes my eyes tired.
The phrase 'for long time' is missing the article 'a' before 'long time'. Use 'for a long time' to indicate duration. Suggestion: include the article 'a' when describing an unspecified duration ('for a long time').
× When I'm reading detective novels, I read very carefully because I enjoy trying to guess who the culprit is.
✓ When I'm reading detective novels, I read very carefully because I enjoy trying to guess who the culprit is.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no changes necessary. Explanation: 'When I'm reading' correctly uses the present continuous to indicate an action in progress, and 'trying to guess' correctly uses the -ing form after 'enjoy'. Keep using the -ing form after verbs like 'enjoy'.
× In contrast, when I read newspapers, I don't need read them very carefully and I usually focus only on the headlines.
✓ In contrast, when I read newspapers, I don't need to read them very carefully and I usually focus only on the headlines.
The verb phrase 'need' when followed by another verb requires the infinitive with 'to' in this context: 'need to read'. Omission of 'to' is incorrect in Standard English. Suggestion: use 'need to + base verb' for obligations or necessities ('don't need to read').
