Do you like reading?

To be honest, I am not very fond of reading because I have a very busy schedule, so most of my reading is limited to my academic textbooks.

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
考生
I prefer to read on a paper over the screens because a paper books help me to more concentrate on my study. But we are in the digital era so all my work, study material, everything is digital. So I often have to read on screens for convenience and quick access to the resources.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
考生
Well, for me, reading academic emails regarding assessments and exams, uh very carefully because I don't want to miss any kind of information, so I prefer to read it carefully in order to get good marks. Rather than that, I prefer to read emails related to my work very carefully because I don't want to miss any kind of.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
考生
Well, it depends on a situation. When a text is important, for example something related to my study or work, I prefer to read it in detail so that I don't know do not miss any kind of important information. But for the quick things like messages or emails, I usually skim them.
Do you like reading?
分數: 72.0建議: Be more concise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repeating ideas and filler phrases like "to be honest" and "very". Use linking words for flow (e.g., "because", "so").

× I prefer to read on a paper over the screens because a paper books help me to more concentrate on my study.
✓ I prefer to read on paper rather than on screens because paper books help me concentrate more on my study.
Errors: incorrect use of articles and determiners ('a paper', 'the screens', 'a paper books') and awkward word order ('to more concentrate'). Fix: remove unnecessary articles before uncountable/general nouns ('on paper'), use 'rather than' to show preference, use plural 'paper books' without 'a', place adverb 'more' after verb 'concentrate' and remove redundant 'to'. Suggestion: learn rules for countable/uncountable nouns and natural word order for verbs + adverbs.
× But we are in the digital era so all my work, study material, everything is digital.
✓ But we are in the digital era, so all my work and study materials are digital.
Error: subject-verb agreement and noun number: 'study material' should be plural 'study materials' to match 'all my' and the verb 'are' fits plural; original omitted comma before 'so'. Fix: use plural noun and plural verb 'are'. Suggestion: ensure noun number matches quantifiers like 'all my' and use correct verb form.

Errors: sentence fragment/structure and pronoun number: original missing main verb 'I read' and had awkward insertion 'uh'; 'any kind of information' is wordy and 'it' should be 'them' to refer to emails. Fix: add subject+verb, remove filler, use 'any information' and plural pronoun 'them', simplify 'in order to' to 'to'. Suggestion: ensure each sentence has a clear subject and verb and maintain pronoun agreement with antecedents.
× Rather than that, I prefer to read emails related to my work very carefully because I don't want to miss any kind of.

✓ Well, it depends on the situation.
Error: article use with 'situation': say 'the situation' for a specific context or no article for generality; 'a situation' sounds odd here. Fix: use 'the situation'. Suggestion: learn common collocations like 'depends on the situation'.
