阅读— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be more concise and correct grammar: avoid filler words, fix tense and number agreement, and give one or two specific examples to make your answer more vivid. Use a clear topic sentence then a brief supporting detail.

範例: Yes, I do. I read a lot of children's storybooks when I was young, and now I still read whenever I have free time, usually short stories or news articles online.

建議: State your preference clearly, avoid hesitation and unclear phrases, correct comparative structure, and add a specific reason or example (e.g. note-taking, less eye strain). Keep to 2–3 sentences and use linking words to connect ideas.

範例: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because I can highlight and make notes more easily, which helps me remember facts when I'm studying. Also, paper causes less eye fatigue than long screen sessions.

建議: Organize into a clear topic sentence then contrasting detail using linking words (e.g. "when... but"). Remove repetition and streamline phrasing; give a brief specific example of each situation to strengthen the response.

範例: I need to read carefully when I encounter new or technical material, for example a textbook chapter, because I want to understand definitions and concepts. But if the text is simple, like a short news item, I skim it quickly to get the main idea.

建議: Give a direct answer first, then use one or two concrete examples and linking words. Remove fillers and informal phrases; replace vague words like "research thing" with precise terms such as "research" or "assignment."

範例: I prefer detailed reading for exams or research because I need to understand and remember information for assignments. However, I skim articles or background material when it is not essential to save time.

× Yes, definitely. Uh, when I was young I used to read lots of story books, especially nowadays.

✓ Yes, definitely. When I was young I used to read lots of story books, but I do not read as much nowadays.

The original mixes past habit 'used to' with 'nowadays' incorrectly. 'Used to' indicates a past habit; 'nowadays' refers to the present. Also 'especially' is misused. Correct by separating the past habit and current state: use 'used to' for past and 'nowadays' for present contrast.

× But now I don't have much times to spend on reading, but I do keep reading whenever I get a chance.

✓ But now I don't have much time to spend on reading, although I do keep reading whenever I get a chance.

'Much' should be used with uncountable nouns like 'time'. 'Times' is plural countable and does not collocate with 'much'. Replace 'much times' with 'much time' and improve conjunction usage for clarity.

× I prefer reading on a paper than on a screen because especially when I was studying, I like grading umm, hard copies rather than soft copies because it helps me remember things properly.

✓ I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because, especially when I was studying, I liked grading hard copies rather than soft copies since they helped me remember things better.

Do not use the indefinite article 'a' before 'paper' in this context; use 'on paper'. Also tense consistency: 'when I was studying' requires past 'liked' and 'helped'. 'Grading' may be intended as 'reading' or 'marking'; keep 'grading' if intended but ensure past tense. Replace 'properly' with 'better' for natural collocation.

× I believe when we read slowly something written on a paper it takes some time then.

✓ I believe that when we read something written on paper slowly, it takes more time.

Word order is awkward: 'read slowly something written on a paper' should be 'read something written on paper slowly' or better 'read something written on paper slowly'. Also 'then' is unnecessary; use 'more time' to express comparative duration. Use 'on paper' without article.

× When I'm studying something new and reading something I haven't heard before I haven't gone through before, I like to read it slowly and thoroughly understand what it says.

✓ When I'm studying something new or reading material I haven't seen before, I like to read it slowly and thoroughly to understand what it says.

Redundant phrases 'haven't heard before' and 'haven't gone through before' create confusion. Use 'seen before' or 'read before'. Also include 'to' in 'to understand' for correct infinitive usage. Add commas for clarity.

× But whenever it's something simple and I just want to get some basic understanding, I read it rapidly to grasp the main idea.

✓ But whenever it's something simple and I just want to get a basic understanding, I read it quickly to grasp the main idea.

Use 'a basic understanding' (article) and 'quickly' is the correct adverb; 'rapidly' is not wrong but less natural here. Tense is present and correct; only minor word choice and article needed.

× It depends on the situation and the scenario.

✓ It depends on the situation or the scenario.

Using both 'situation and scenario' with 'depends on' is redundant. Use 'or' to indicate alternatives. Alternatively, choose one noun: 'depends on the situation.'

× Uh, if it's for the exam or for the research thing.

✓ If it's for an exam or for research, then I read carefully.

This fragment lacks a main verb and is incomplete. Provide a complete clause to answer the question, and use 'an exam' or simply 'exam' and 'research' without 'thing'.

× For the project or assignment, I would take the resources thoroughly.

✓ For a project or assignment, I would use the resources thoroughly.

Use the indefinite article 'a' for non-specific 'project or assignment'. 'Take the resources thoroughly' is awkward; 'use the resources thoroughly' or 'study the resources thoroughly' is more natural.

× Uh, but if it's not much important, I like to skim through the text.

✓ But if it's not very important, I like to skim through the text.

'Much important' is ungrammatical; use 'very important' or 'not very important'. The gerund 'skim through' is fine; change 'Uh' and improve adverb choice for correctness and fluency.
