Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

Definitely paper because I like the feeling of browsing physical books and when I see Uno's screen I usually get an eye strain. So I definitely prefer reading on a paper. So I buy a lot of books actually.

Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: 문장 구조와 문법을 다듬고 응답을 더 간결하게 만드세요. 현재 답변은 중복 표현과 어색한 시제·단어 선택(예: "since I work in part time", "Housemade", "Uno's screen")이 있어 자연스럽지 않습니다. 간단한 주제 문장 후 관련 세부사항(왜 좋아하는지, 어떤 책을 좋아하는지 한두 가지 예)만 포함해 최대 4문장 이내로 말하세요. 또한 고유명사나 책 제목은 정확히 발음하거나 설명을 덧붙이세요.
Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially thriller novels. I find their suspense and unexpected twists very engaging, and they keep me turning the pages. For example, I recently loved a mystery about a small-town disappearance that had clever clues and a surprising ending. Working part-time in a primary school library also gives me access to many different genres, which I enjoy exploring.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 중복을 줄이고 명확한 이유를 한두 가지로 정리하세요. 비격식 표현(예: "Uno's screen")과 문법(예: "reading on a paper")을 교정하세요. 연결어를 사용해 논리적으로 이유를 제시하고 마지막 문장은 관련으로 간결히 마무리하세요.
Ví dụ: I definitely prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the tactile feel of books and find them easier on my eyes. In contrast, screens often cause eye strain after long periods. For that reason, I tend to buy physical copies of books I really like.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: 의미 전달은 되지만 문장이 어색하고 문법 오류가 있습니다(예: "such as I else"). 질문에는 두 가지 상황을 명확히 구분해 간결하게 답하세요. 하나는 시험 준비처럼 집중이 필요한 경우, 다른 하나는 여가용 읽기처럼 편하게 읽는 경우로 각각 이유를 제시하세요. 문장 연결에 'however'나 'on the other hand' 같은 연결어를 쓰면 좋습니다.
Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when I'm studying for exams because I must understand details and remember facts to achieve the scores I need. On the other hand, when I read for pleasure, like a funny short story or comic, I don't focus on every detail and just enjoy the experience.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: 중복된 이유 표현("because" 반복)을 피하고 명확한 예시를 추가하세요. 현재 문장은 길고 마무리가 어색합니다. 주된 선호를 먼저 말한 뒤, 연결어로 이유를 덧붙이고 구체적인 예(어떤 종류의 책이나 상황에서 상세히 읽는지)를 한 문장으로 제시하세요.
Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because I value understanding ideas deeply and remembering important points. For instance, when I read non-fiction or academic articles, I take notes and re-read difficult sections to fully grasp the concepts.
× I like reading especially I love thriller novels since I work in part time in primary school library.
✓ I like reading, especially thrillers, because I work part-time in the primary school library.
The sentence has run-on structure and awkward phrasing. Use a comma before 'especially' and a simpler noun 'thrillers.' 'Since' as a causal connector is acceptable but 'because' is clearer. 'Part time' should be hyphenated as 'part-time' and include the article 'the' before 'primary school library.' Suggestion: break ideas into clearer clauses and use correct hyphenation and articles.
× I read a lot of thriller books like Housemade or Higashinoki Go spook, I really like it.
✓ I read a lot of thrillers, like Housemade or Higashinoki Go Spook; I really like them.
Use plural 'thrillers' to match 'a lot of.' Titles are examples separated by commas or semicolons. Pronoun 'it' is incorrect for plural 'books'; use 'them.' Also use punctuation to avoid a comma splice. Suggestion: match pronoun number to the noun and split clauses with appropriate punctuation.
× I usually get an eye strain.
✓ I usually get eye strain.
We do not use the indefinite article with uncountable noun 'eye strain.' Remove 'an.' Suggestion: learn which condition nouns are countable or uncountable.
× So I definitely prefer reading on a paper.
✓ So I definitely prefer reading on paper.
When speaking about the medium in general, do not use the indefinite article 'a' before 'paper.' Use the phrase 'on paper.' Suggestion: omit unnecessary articles with general media expressions.
× So I buy a lot of books actually.
✓ So I actually buy a lot of books.
Adverb placement: 'actually' usually comes before the main verb or after subject. Moving 'actually' improves naturalness. Suggestion: place adverbs in standard positions to improve flow.
× When I'm studying for the exam such as I else, I have to read carefully because I have to get a score that I need.
✓ When I'm studying for an exam or similar, I have to read carefully because I need to get a certain score.
'Such as I else' is ungrammatical; replace with 'or similar' or 'for example.' Use 'an exam' (article) and simplify 'get a score that I need' to 'need to get a certain score.' Suggestion: use standard phrases like 'for an exam' and 'or similar' and streamline clauses.
× But when I read something just funny then I don't have to read carefully because it's just fun and free time.
✓ But when I read something just for fun, I don't have to read carefully because it's leisure time.
The original mixes conjunctions and adverbs awkwardly. Use 'just for fun' and replace 'then' which is unnecessary. 'Free time' is better expressed as 'leisure time.' Suggestion: avoid redundant connectors and choose idiomatic expressions.
× I prefer detailed reading because I like to read something carefully, because I like to learn more and understand something deeply, so I'm usually reading too.
✓ I prefer detailed reading because I like to read carefully, learn more, and understand things deeply, so I usually do a lot of reading.
Redundant 'because' clauses and awkward phrases: 'read something carefully' -> 'read carefully'; 'understand something deeply' -> 'understand things deeply.' 'I'm usually reading too' is vague; 'I usually do a lot of reading' is clearer. Suggestion: remove redundancy, parallelize verbs, and use clearer final clause.
