Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a direct personal answer (yes/no or a short statement), then add one brief supporting detail. Keep it natural and avoid repeating words from the question.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading. I especially like contemporary novels because they help me understand modern life and improve my vocabulary.

Gợi ý: Your answer repeated and misheard the question, changing a word and not giving an opinion. First, restate the correct topic briefly, then state your clear preference and one reason. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because it’s easier on my eyes and I remember information better when I hold a physical book.

Gợi ý: You repeated and mispronounced part of the examiner’s question instead of answering. Provide a direct statement covering both parts: when careful reading is necessary and when skimming is enough. Use linking phrases like 'for example' and 'however' to make it coherent.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when studying academic texts or legal documents because details matter; however, I skim news articles or social media posts when I only want the main idea.

Gợi ý: Your reply again repeated and distorted the question rather than giving your preference. Give a clear choice (scanning or detailed reading) and one specific reason or example. Use a linking word such as 'because' to explain.

Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because I like to understand the full argument and remember important points, whereas I scan only when I’m looking for a specific fact.

× Do you like reading?

✓ Yes, I like reading.

The original student response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. This is a sentence structure/response error (closest listed types: 26 Sentence structure errors). Provide a direct answer to match the question and tense; use a subject and verb to form a complete sentence. Suggestion: Answer questions with a subject and verb, e.g., 'Yes, I like reading.' or 'No, I don't really enjoy reading.'

× Do you prefer to read on people or on a screen?

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

The student used 'people' instead of 'paper', which is a word choice error causing the sentence to be semantically incorrect. This falls under sentence structure/vocabulary error (26). Correction: replace 'people' with 'paper' to match the examiner's intended contrast. Suggestion: Listen for similar-sounding words and confirm unknown words before responding.

× When do you need to read Cavanaugh and when not?

✓ When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

The student wrote 'Cavanaugh', likely a mishearing or misspelling of 'carefully'. This is a vocabulary/misrecognition error and produces an incorrect sentence (26). Correction: restore the adverb 'carefully' to match the examiner's question. Suggestion: Practice distinguishing similar-sounding words and use context to choose the appropriate word.

× Do you face calling or detail reading?

✓ Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

The student's response uses 'face calling' and 'detail reading', which are incorrect phrases. This is a misuse of vocabulary and results in sentence structure problems (26). Correction: use the terms 'scanning' and 'detailed reading' to match the examiner's question. Suggestion: Learn common collocations (e.g., 'detailed reading', 'scan a text') and echo key words from the question when answering to avoid wrong word choices.
