Do you like reading?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Correct grammar and make the reply more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail. Fix the verb form and article use: say “I like reading” and specify which kinds of historical books (e.g., biographies, military history).
Ví dụ: I enjoy reading, especially historical books. For example, I often read biographies of political leaders because I find their life stories and decisions fascinating.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Use a simple, direct sentence and correct verb forms. Choose either paper or screen and give a short reason with a linking word (because/so). Avoid combining modal + like incorrectly.
Ví dụ: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient and I can adjust the font size. For instance, I often read articles on my tablet when commuting.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Organize the answer into two clear parts using linking words (when…; but). Use precise vocabulary and correct grammar (e.g., “when the topic is about my country’s economy or GDP, I read carefully; but I don’t read celebrity or sports news carefully”). Keep it concise and avoid redundancy.
Ví dụ: I read carefully when the topic concerns my country’s economy or GDP because the facts matter for my work. By contrast, I usually skim celebrity or sports news since I only want the main points.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Explain your preference with a clear reason and a linking word (because/so). Use the correct simple present: “I prefer scanning.” Add one specific example of when you scan versus when you read in detail.
Ví dụ: I prefer scanning because it helps me find important information quickly. For example, I scan headlines and subheadings to get the gist, but I read articles in detail when I need to write a report.
× Yes, I like to reading especially historical books.
✓ Yes, I like reading, especially historical books.
The verb 'like' should be followed by the base verb with -ing (gerund) or the infinitive, but not 'to' + -ing. 'Like reading' is correct; 'to reading' is incorrect. Also add a comma before 'especially' for clarity.
× I would prefer like to reading on screen.
✓ I would prefer reading on a screen.
'Prefer' can be followed by an -ing form (prefer reading) or 'to prefer to read'. Combining 'would prefer' with 'like to reading' mixes structures and is incorrect. Use 'I would prefer reading' or 'I would prefer to read'. Also include the article 'a' before 'screen.'
× I especially read carefully when the topic is serious about country or GDP regarding and if there is a news like celebrities or any other sports I would like to not read seriously.
✓ I read especially carefully when the topic is serious, such as about the country or GDP; if the news is about celebrities or sports, I do not read it as carefully.
This sentence has multiple structure problems: incorrect word order, inappropriate prepositions, and awkward phrasing. 'Serious about country or GDP regarding' is ungrammatical; use 'such as about the country or GDP.' 'There is a news' is incorrect—use 'the news is' or 'news is about.' Negation 'I would like to not read seriously' is unnatural; use 'I do not read it as carefully.' Splitting into two clauses with clearer connectors and punctuation improves clarity.
× I would prefer scanning.
✓ I would prefer scanning.
This sentence is grammatically correct: 'prefer' followed by gerund 'scanning' is acceptable. No change needed.
