Of course, because reading helps me enrich my knowledge of the world. For example, I learn about different traditional cultures in foreign countries by reading historical stories from plenty of countries.

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Thí sinh
Well, most of the time I enjoy reading on a screen because it's really convenient. I can read everywhere if I have a smartphone instead of keeping a heavy book with me.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Thí sinh
Well, I think it depends on content. I'm a lawyer, so it's important for me to read carefully when I'm dealing with work documents because small mistake can have serious consequences. But if I am reading on the magazine for pleasure, I usually just glance at it.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Thí sinh
Well, I think it depends on the content. I'm a lawyer so it's important for me to do detailed reading when I'm dealing with work related documents. But if I just do some leisure reading, I prefer scanning because it's relaxed and comfortable.
Do you like reading?
Điểm: 88.0Gợi ý: 回答自然且内容相关,但可更简洁并用连接词增强流畅性。注意避免重复(例如“from plenty of countries” 与前文重复),并提供更具体的例子或一本书名来增加说服力。可以将例子与个人感受或结果连接起来。
Ví dụ: Yes, I do. Reading broadens my understanding of the world; for instance, I learned about Japanese tea ceremonies and their cultural meanings from a book on Japanese history, which helped me appreciate cultural differences more deeply.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 84.0Gợi ý: 表达清晰但稍显简单。建议使用连接词对比优缺点(e.g. "however"),并给出一具体场景说明为什么选择电子设备,同时可简短提及纸质阅读的优点以显示平衡观点。
Ví dụ: I usually prefer reading on a screen because it’s very convenient—for example, I can read articles on my commute. However, I still enjoy paper books for novels because they feel more immersive.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 86.0Gợi ý: 回答结构良好且包含职业背景,表明原因。但语法上注意冠词与复数("a magazine" 或 "magazines"),并可用连接词如“whereas”或“while”使对比更流畅。可以给出具体工作例子说明后果。
Ví dụ: It depends on the content. As a lawyer, I read contracts very carefully because even a small error can lead to legal problems, whereas when I read magazines for pleasure I usually just skim the articles.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 86.0Gợi ý: 回答清晰并与前题一致,但稍有重复。建议合并重复信息并用更丰富词汇替换“relaxed and comfortable”,同时用连接词如“whereas”或“so”提高连贯性。可提供一两个具体例子说明何时会精读或略读。
Ví dụ: It depends on the material: as a lawyer I read legal briefs in detail to avoid mistakes, whereas I scan blogs or newsfeeds when I’m just browsing for quick updates.
× I learn about different traditional cultures in foreign countries by reading historical stories from plenty of countries.
✓ I learn about different traditional cultures in foreign countries by reading historical stories from many countries.
句中使用了 "plenty of countries" 在此语境下不自然。"plenty of" 常用于口语表示大量(通常与可数名词复数或不可数名词连用),但用于表示来源国时更常用的表达是 "many countries" 或 "a lot of countries"。建议使用更常见的搭配 "many countries",使句子更自然。
× Because reading helps me enrich my knowledge of the world.
✓ Because reading helps me enrich my knowledge of the world.
该句为完整句子的一部分,动词 helps 与单数第三人称主语在此为正确用法(reading 被视为单数名词/动名词),因此无需更改。此处列出以说明无错误。
× I can read everywhere if I have a smartphone instead of keeping a heavy book with me.
✓ I can read everywhere if I have a smartphone instead of carrying a heavy book with me.
原句使用 "keeping a heavy book with me" 不太符合英语习惯。此处应使用表示携带动作的动词 "carry" 或短语 "have with me"。"keeping" 常用于持续保存的含义,但表示随身携带更自然的说法是 "carry" 或 "have"。建议改为 "carrying a heavy book" 或 "having a heavy book with me"。
× ...because small mistake can have serious consequences.
✓ ...because small mistakes can have serious consequences.
这里 "small mistake" 应为复数 "small mistakes",因为后句说的是一般情况(错误可能带来严重后果),需要用可数名词复数以与谓语 "can have" 的一般事实语境一致。建议将名词改为复数。
× But if I am reading on the magazine for pleasure, I usually just glance at it.
✓ But if I am reading a magazine for pleasure, I usually just glance at it.
短语 "reading on the magazine" 不正确。应使用 "reading a magazine" 或 "reading magazines"。如果想表达在纸质或电子杂志上阅读可说 "reading a magazine"。同时介词 "on" 在此不合适,移除并使用不定冠词 "a"。建议改为 "reading a magazine"。
× I'm a lawyer so it's important for me to do detailed reading when I'm dealing with work related documents.
✓ I'm a lawyer, so it's important for me to do detailed reading when I'm dealing with work-related documents.
短语 "work related documents" 需要连字符形成复合形容词 "work-related"。此外在 "I'm a lawyer so" 与前面插入逗号更自然:"I'm a lawyer, so..."。这属于冠词/标点与复合形容词规范使用问题,建议添加连字符并在复合句处加逗号。
× But if I just do some leisure reading, I prefer scanning because it's relaxed and comfortable.
✓ But if I just do some leisure reading, I prefer scanning because it's relaxing and comfortable.
形容词 "relaxed" 与 "comfortable" 在此用来描述阅读本身。应使用 "relaxing"(令人放松的)来修饰活动,而不是 "relaxed"(描述人的情绪)。因此改为 "relaxing and comfortable" 更符合语义。
