Do you like reading?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Make the response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (e.g., types of books or purposes). Avoid repeating the word “reading” and remove vague phrase “some difficult books and knowledge.” Use linking words to connect ideas.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading. For example, I often read science and history books because they help me understand complex ideas and expand my vocabulary, which improves my overall English skills.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Use clearer, more natural phrasing and give a specific reason or example. Avoid unsupported strong claims like “eye disease”; instead say it can cause eye strain. Use linking words to contrast the two options.
Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to concentrate and remember details. Although screens are convenient for news and articles, prolonged screen use often causes eye strain, so I reserve them for short pieces.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Give a clearer, more structured answer: state the situations, then add specific examples or reasons. Use correct tense and linking words. Avoid repeating phrases like “on the other hand” twice in the same way.
Ví dụ: I read carefully when the material is important to my studies or work, for example when studying for exams or reading technical instructions. By contrast, I skim through light or uninteresting articles, such as short news items, to save time.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Make the meaning precise and the language natural. Use one clear topic sentence, then support it with a concise reason or example. Avoid awkward phrases like “good understand toolbox” and simplify ideas.
Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand complex material, such as academic papers or manuals. Scanning is useful for finding specific facts quickly, but I choose detailed reading when I need to remember or apply the information.
× Yes, I do like reading because in my opinion reading is a good way to enhance my reading skills to understand some difficult books and knowledge.
✓ Yes, I do like reading because, in my opinion, reading is a good way to improve my comprehension of difficult books and to gain knowledge.
The original uses 'enhance my reading skills to understand' which is awkward and uses nouns where verbs or clearer phrases are needed. 'Enhance' is acceptable but 'improve my comprehension of difficult books and to gain knowledge' is clearer. Add commas around the introductory phrase 'in my opinion' for correct punctuation and natural flow.
× Actually, I prefer to read on paper because I think reading paper is the traditional way to read good books. On the other hand, read on the screen may lead to eye disease.
✓ Actually, I prefer to read on paper because I think reading on paper is the traditional way to enjoy good books. On the other hand, reading on a screen may lead to eye problems.
Use the preposition 'on' with 'paper' ('reading on paper'), not 'reading paper'. Change 'read on the screen' to 'reading on a screen' to use the gerund consistently. 'Eye disease' is too broad and sounds unnatural; 'eye problems' is more natural in this context. Also 'On the other hand' contrasts but ensure the verb form matches (gerund 'reading').
× Well, when I read something I want to read, I always read carefully. And on the other hand, when I read something was boring, I always read it quickly.
✓ Well, when I read something I want to read, I always read carefully. On the other hand, when I find something boring, I always read it quickly.
The clause 'when I read something was boring' mixes tenses and lacks a correct verb. Use present simple 'when I find something boring' to express a general habit. Also remove the redundant 'on' from 'And on the other hand' to be more natural and concise.
× Well, I prefer detailed reading because in my opinion when you have a detailed reading you will have a good understand toolbox instead of scanning reading because it can lead to read too quickly.
✓ Well, I prefer detailed reading because, in my opinion, when you read in detail you will have a better understanding instead of scanning, which can cause you to read too quickly.
Several issues: use 'read in detail' or 'read in a detailed way' rather than 'have a detailed reading'. 'A good understand toolbox' is incorrect; use 'better understanding'. 'Scanning reading' is awkward; use simply 'scanning'. Replace 'lead to read too quickly' with 'cause you to read too quickly' for correct verb structure and clarity. Add commas for clarity.
