阅读— Part 1 评分报告

建议: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect grammar (e.g., use contractions or correct tense/word forms).

示例: Not really. I only read when it’s for studying, such as revising for exams, because I need to focus on facts and details. Otherwise I find reading slow and prefer watching videos or listening to podcasts for learning because they keep me engaged.

建议: Organize answer with a clear topic sentence, correct vocabulary and grammar, and give one specific supporting detail using linking words. Avoid unclear words (e.g., “tags”) and small errors in phrase choice.

示例: I prefer reading on paper because screens strain my eyes and the glare bothers me. Also, when I read from paper I can easily annotate and take notes at the same time, which helps me remember information.

建议: Start with a direct topic sentence, then use linking words to contrast the two situations. Be specific with one example and avoid vague phrases; correct tense and phrasing for clarity.

示例: I read carefully when the material contains rules or instructions, for example the manual when I buy a computer so I don’t miss important settings. In contrast, if I just need the general idea of an article, I skim it quickly to get the main points.

建议: Give a clear topic sentence, fix word choice errors (e.g., ‘attacks’ → ‘texts’), and add one supporting reason with a linking phrase. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and avoid unnecessary personal confessions that detract from clarity.

示例: I prefer scanning because I struggle to concentrate for long periods, so skimming lets me get an overview quickly. However, I plan to try reading a whole book in the future to improve my concentration and deepen my understanding.

× No I don't unless it's academic related like you need to do revision for examinations.

✓ No, I don't unless it's academically related, for example when you need to revise for examinations.

The original has sentence structure and word form errors: 'academic related' should be the adverbial form 'academically related' or adjective phrase 'academically related material'; 'do revision' is non-idiomatic in English — 'revise for examinations' is correct. Also add a comma after 'No' for clarity and 'like' replaced with 'for example' to improve formality and clarity.

× I found reading very dull is not enjoyable for me.

✓ I find reading very dull and not enjoyable for me.

Tense and sentence structure are inconsistent. The student uses past 'found' but general preference requires present simple 'find'. Also the clause needs conjunction 'and' to connect ideas: 'very dull and not enjoyable for me.' Use present tense for habitual opinions.

× I prefer watching videos or listening to podcasts.

✓ I prefer watching videos or listening to podcasts.

This sentence is correct; it uses the present simple to state a habitual preference, so no change is necessary.

× I'd definitely prefer to read on paper.

✓ I'd definitely prefer to read on paper.

This sentence is correct. 'I'd' (I would) expresses a preference politely; present preference could also be 'I definitely prefer to read on paper,' but the original is acceptable in context.

× I found reading tags on a screen is eye irritating, I can't stand the light off the screen.

✓ I find reading text on a screen irritating to my eyes; I can't stand the screen's light.

Tense inconsistency: use present 'find' for general truth. 'tags' is likely a mistake for 'text'. 'eye irritating' is ungrammatical; use 'irritating to my eyes' or 'irritates my eyes.' Also split into clearer clauses and use possessive 'screen's light' or 'light from the screen.'

× I can't stand the light off the screen.

✓ I can't stand the light from the screen.

Preposition 'off' is incorrect in this context; use 'from' or 'of' to indicate source. 'Light from the screen' is natural.

× And for PayPal I can read and write at the same time if I want to take some notes at that moment.

✓ And on paper I can read and write at the same time if I want to take notes.

'For PayPal' is incorrect and likely a mispronunciation or typo for 'on paper.' Also 'take some notes at that moment' is wordy; 'take notes' is more natural. Keep present simple for habitual ability.

× I need to read carefully whenever it's related to rules or guidelines.

✓ I need to read carefully whenever it's related to rules or guidelines.

This sentence is correct; present simple 'need' is appropriate for general statements.

× Sort of things like when I bought a computer, I will need to go through the menu very carefully.

✓ For example, when I buy a computer, I need to go through the manual very carefully.

Tense mismatch: 'bought' (past) with 'will need' (future) is inconsistent for a general statement. Use present simple 'buy' and 'need' to describe typical future actions. Also 'menu' is likely incorrect in this context; 'manual' or 'settings' is more natural. Replace 'Sort of things like' with 'For example'.

× But when it's about in general idea of something, I just read it fast and brief to get a brief idea, yeah.

✓ But when it's about the general idea of something, I just read it quickly and briefly to get a general sense.

Awkward phrasing and word choice: 'about in general idea' is incorrect — use 'about the general idea.' Use adverbs 'quickly' and 'briefly' instead of adjectives. Avoid repeating 'brief' and 'idea'; 'get a general sense' is clearer.

× I prefer scanning because I'm someone who can't focus for long periods, so it's easy for me to glance over attacks and get an overview.

✓ I prefer scanning because I can't focus for long periods, so it's easy for me to glance over texts and get an overview.

'I'm someone who' is wordy; simplification is fine. 'attacks' is a wrong word — likely 'texts.' Keep present simple for habitual preference.

× Actually, I've been planning to try to finish a book in the future because frankly speaking, I've never been able to finish a book.

✓ Actually, I've been planning to try to finish a book because, frankly, I've never been able to finish one.

'In the future' is redundant when using 'I've been planning.' Also repeating 'finish a book' is repetitive; replace second occurrence with 'one.' Comma placement improved. Tense 'I've been planning' and 'I've never been able' are consistent.
