Do you like reading?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Be more grammatical, concise and specific. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give 1–2 supporting details (types of reading, a favourite title) using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid redundancy and correct noun forms and word order (e.g., "fiction" not "the fictions").
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading. In my free time I usually read fiction, especially novels and comics, because they help me relax. For example, my favourite novel is "Tangerine Forever" because it has a vivid plot and memorable characters.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence saying your preference, then support with two concise reasons linked by connectors (because, so). Use correct comparative phrasing ("prefer X to Y") and avoid filler words. Add a brief example or consequence.
Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen because paper feels more comfortable and is easier on my eyes. For example, when I read printed books I can focus longer without eye strain.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Begin with a direct answer and correct key verbs and expressions ("read carefully" not "live carefully"). Explain two situations: when careful reading is necessary and when skimming is acceptable. Use linking words (because, for example) and give a specific example of what you do during exams.
Ví dụ: I need to read carefully during exam periods because I must understand details to answer questions correctly. For example, when I study research articles I take notes and reread difficult parts; on the other hand, I skim news headlines when I just want the main idea.

× When I have free time I like to read the fictions, a novel or comics.
✓ When I have free time, I like to read fiction, a novel, or comics.
The noun 'fictions' is incorrect here; 'fiction' as a general category is uncountable and does not take 'the' in this context. Use commas to separate items in a list and include 'a' only with singular countable nouns ('a novel'). Add a comma after the introductory clause for clarity.
× Example the novel I like is name called Tangerine Forever.
✓ For example, the novel I like is called Tangerine Forever.
Use 'For example,' to start the sentence. The phrase 'name called' is redundant and ungrammatical; simply use 'is called' to introduce the title. Add a comma after the introductory phrase.
× I prefer reading on paper more screen because when I read on paper I feel comfortable and and if I wait for screen I feel like I hurt my eyes.
✓ I prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen because when I read on paper I feel comfortable, but if I read on a screen I feel like it hurts my eyes.
Use the preposition 'to' with 'prefer' to compare two options ('prefer A to B'). Include 'a' before 'screen' when referring to 'a screen' generally. Replace the repeated 'and and' with a contrasting conjunction like 'but'. Use 'read on a screen' rather than 'wait for screen'. Use 'it hurts my eyes' for a natural English expression.
× So for example.
✓ For example, reading on paper is more comfortable for me.
The fragment 'So for example.' is incomplete and lacks a verb; provide a complete sentence that gives the example mentioned earlier. Fragments should be avoided in formal responses.
× I live carefully when is my exam period because I want to get a good score so I need to concentrate with about detail that I need for exam.
✓ I study carefully when it is my exam period because I want to get a good score, so I need to concentrate on the details I need for the exam.
'I live carefully' is incorrect; use 'I study carefully' to match the context. Insert 'it' in 'when it is my exam period'. Use 'concentrate on' (not 'concentrate with/about'). 'detail' should be plural 'details' and add 'the' before 'exam'. Use commas to separate clauses.
× For example when I read the article or research I need.
✓ For example, when I read an article or research paper, I need to focus on the main points and evidence.
The original is a fragment and lacks a clear object and verb. Add an article before 'article' ('an article') and specify 'research paper' for clarity. Provide a complete clause explaining what is needed when reading, such as 'focus on the main points and evidence'.
× I prefer late detail to scanning because I I think detail is make we make umm, may umm know about the things that someone gonna passes or.
✓ I prefer detailed reading to scanning because I think detailed reading helps us understand what someone is going to say or what will happen.
Use 'prefer X to Y' structure: 'prefer detailed reading to scanning.' 'Late detail' is incorrect; use 'detailed reading.' Remove filler words ('umm') and use 'helps us understand' instead of 'is make we make.' Replace informal 'gonna' with 'is going to.' Complete the idea with 'what someone is going to say or what will happen.'
