Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Clarify preference and give one clear reason; avoid filler words and minor grammar errors. Use a linking phrase for coherence and limit to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because screens strain my eyes after a short time. For this reason, I usually choose physical books when I want to read for long periods.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Use a clear topic sentence and correct verb tense. Provide a specific example of when careful reading is needed and contrast it with a situation where skimming is acceptable. Avoid repetition.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: State your preference clearly, fix grammar (use 'detailed' not 'detail'), and use a linking word to explain why. Add a concise example to support your point and avoid long run-on sentences.
Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand complex ideas and remember facts. For example, when I read textbooks I take notes to review later, whereas scanning is only useful for finding a specific fact quickly.
× Yes, I like reading when I I am free.
✓ Yes, I like reading when I am free.
The sentence contains a duplicated word 'I' causing a sentence structure error and interrupting the present simple statement. Remove the extra 'I' so the clause correctly uses the present simple 'I like' and 'I am free.' Suggestion: read sentences aloud to catch duplicated words.
× I used to read my book and gain more knowledge about the future.
✓ I used to read books to gain more knowledge about the future.
'Used to' correctly indicates a past habit, but 'my book' is oddly specific and 'gain' should match the infinitive structure 'to gain.' Also plural 'books' is more natural for a habit. Suggestion: use 'used to' + base verb and prefer plural when speaking generally.
× Mostly I prefer to read on a paper because it's easy to read for me in the screen.
✓ Mostly I prefer to read on paper because it's easier for me to read on the screen.
Use 'on paper' (no article) and 'on the screen' or better 'on screen' depending on meaning. Also comparative 'easy' should be 'easier' to compare formats, and word order 'for me to read' is more natural. Suggestion: use idiomatic prepositional phrases 'on paper' and 'on screen' and use comparatives when comparing.
× It's not good for my eyes.
✓ Reading on screens is not good for my eyes.
The pronoun 'it' is vague; make the subject explicit to match prior sentence context. This improves clarity and maintains subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: replace vague pronouns with clear nouns when referring to previous ideas.
× So usually umm, I choose a book for reading.
✓ So usually I choose a book to read.
'Choose a book for reading' is grammatical but wordy; 'to read' is the correct infinitive purpose phrase and more natural. Remove filler 'umm.' Suggestion: use infinitive 'to read' for purpose and avoid fillers.
× When I'm under school, I need to read carefully.
✓ When I'm at school, I need to read carefully.
The preposition 'under school' is incorrect; use 'at school' to indicate location. The present continuous 'I'm' is fine. Suggestion: use standard prepositions for places: 'at school' or 'in school.'
× If I didn't, if I don't read carefully, then I miss more important points.
✓ If I don't read carefully, I miss important points.
Mixed conditional tenses: 'If I didn't' (past) and 'if I don't' (present) are inconsistent. Use present real conditional 'If I don't..., I miss...' Also 'more important points' is awkward; 'important points' is sufficient. Suggestion: keep conditional tense consistent and concise.
× Mostly I prefer detail reading because in the detail reading I learn a lot of things so I can improve my knowledge with the detailed reading if I'm doing scanning so I cannot get anything.
✓ Mostly I prefer detailed reading because I learn a lot from it and can improve my knowledge; if I scan, I can't get much information.
Problems include adjective/adverb forms: 'detail reading' should be 'detailed reading'; repetition makes sentence awkward. Use 'learn a lot from it' and 'can't get much information' for clarity. Also 'if I'm doing scanning' is unnatural; use 'if I scan.' Suggestion: use correct adjective forms, avoid repetition, and use concise clauses.
