阅读— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is natural, relevant and well-structured with a clear topic sentence and supporting details. To improve further, vary your sentence openings and add a brief specific example (e.g., a favorite book or genre) to make the response more vivid. Also avoid repeating similar ideas (relax/escape) to reduce redundancy.

範例: Yes, I really enjoy reading; it’s one of my main hobbies. For instance, I often read contemporary fiction such as 'The Kite Runner' because the characters and settings help me unwind. I usually read two or three pages before bed, which calms me down after a busy day.

建議: The main idea is clear (preference for paper), but the answer contains hesitations and unclear phrasing. Improve fluency by removing filler words and using clearer reasons with specific details (e.g., tactile feel, easier on the eyes, note-taking). Keep it to two to three concise sentences.

範例: I prefer reading on paper because I like the tactile feel of pages and it’s easier to annotate notes. However, I use a screen when I’m commuting because it’s more convenient.

建議: Your response addresses both situations but has grammatical errors and hesitations. Make sentences cleaner and more grammatical, and add a short reason why careful reading is needed (e.g., to understand details, memorize facts). For the relaxed reading case, explain what makes it less careful (skimming, focusing on enjoyment).

範例: I read carefully when I’m studying for exams like the IELTS because I need to understand details and remember key points. In contrast, when I read novels for pleasure I usually skim and focus on enjoying the story rather than every detail.

建議: Your position is clear but the answer has hesitations, an incomplete ending, and some awkward phrasing ("resist detailed reading"). Give a concise reason and a brief example of when scanning is useful versus when detailed reading is necessary. Remove fillers and finish the thought.

範例: I prefer scanning because it saves time and helps me find the main ideas quickly, for example when reviewing articles. However, I use detailed reading for technical texts or study material when I need full comprehension.

× Actually I prefer, uh, reading on paper, uh, because you can't touch the paper and feels, uh, the outer's uh, feelings.

✓ Actually I prefer reading on paper because you can touch the paper and feel its texture.

The original sentence misused pronouns and verbs. 'Feels' should be 'feel' to match the subject 'you'. 'The outer's feelings' is incorrect: the intended meaning is the paper's physical texture, so use the possessive pronoun 'its' and the noun 'texture'. Remove filler words (uh) for clarity. Suggestion: keep subject-verb agreement and use correct possessive pronouns for objects.

× Actually when I have to read UH for my exams were for the preparation IELTS exam, I tried to read carefully, but when I just want to read some novels in order to stay in a good mood or relax, it doesn't.

✓ Actually, when I have to read for my exams, for example when preparing for the IELTS exam, I try to read carefully, but when I just want to read novels to stay in a good mood or relax, I do not.

The original mixes past and present tenses improperly and contains grammatical fragments. 'were for the preparation IELTS exam' is incorrect word order and tense. Use present simple 'have to' and 'try' for habitual actions. 'doesn't' lacks a subject; replace with 'I do not' or 'I don't' to make the sentence complete. Also remove filler 'UH' and fix word order. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense (present simple) for habitual actions and include explicit subject for negation.

× Actually, I prefer scanning uh, because I can resist detailed reading.

✓ Actually, I prefer scanning because I can avoid detailed reading.

'Resist detailed reading' is an odd collocation here; 'resist' usually needs an object like 'the urge to' plus verb-ing. The intended meaning is better expressed with 'avoid' or 'skip'. Keep the gerund 'detailed reading' as the object. Suggestion: choose verbs that collocate naturally with gerunds (e.g., avoid, skip) and remove fillers.

× I think it's very boring and takes a lot of time. Uh, you can easily understand by scanning and.

✓ I think it is very boring and takes a lot of time. You can easily understand the main idea by scanning.

The original ends with an incomplete clause 'and.' and the phrase 'understand by scanning' lacks an object—what is being understood. Add 'the main idea' or 'the gist' as the object. Remove filler 'Uh'. Suggestion: complete the sentence with a clear object and avoid trailing conjunctions.
