Part 1
考官
Do you like reading?
考生
Absolutely I do, I've been quite fond of reading, particularly when I have some downtown. I tend to gravitate towards novel and interesting articles because they allow me to unwind while also prodding my knowledge. I also find that reading regulars helps me improve my vocabulary and express myself more confident.
考官
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
考生
I definitely prefer reading on paper, there's somethings more relaxing about holding a physical books and turning the paces. I also find it easier to concentrate because I'm less likely to get distracted by notifications. That said, I do read on my phone for some time to time, especially when I'm traveling or don't have a book with me.
考官
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
考生
It really depends on what I'm reading. I need to read very carefully when I'm starting doing an exam or reading something important because missing even a simple details could affect my understanding. On the other hand, when I'm reading social media, post orchestral articles, actually just skim through them to get general idea rather than focusing on every single word.
考官
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
考生
I will say I prefer scanning when I'm looking for a specific information because it saves me a lot of time. However, I am reading something pretty restoring for an exam. I prefer detailed reading so I can fully understand the information. So I think my preference really depends on on the purpose of reading.
Do you like reading?
分數: 65.0建議: Be concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, avoid small vocabulary/grammar mistakes, and use specific examples. Use linking words to connect ideas and keep answers within 3–4 sentences. Correct word choice (downtime, novels, prompt/prod) and verb forms (reading regularly, more confident) will improve clarity and accuracy.
範例: Yes, I do. I enjoy reading, especially novels and thoughtful articles, because they help me relax and expand my knowledge. For example, I often read historical novels and science articles which improve my vocabulary and help me express ideas more confidently.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
分數: 72.0建議: Open with a clear preference sentence, correct common collocations and plurals, and use linking phrases to contrast views. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and include a brief reason and an example. Fix errors: 'something', 'physical books' → 'a physical book', 'turning the pages', 'from time to time'.
範例: I prefer reading on paper because holding a physical book and turning the pages feels more relaxing and helps me concentrate. However, I also read on my phone from time to time when I'm traveling or don't have a book with me.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
分數: 60.0建議: Give a direct topic sentence, then two contrasting specific examples with correct grammar. Avoid unclear phrases ('starting doing an exam', 'post orchestral articles') and use linking words like 'however' and 'for example'. Be specific about consequences of careless reading.
範例: It depends on the material. For example, I read very carefully when studying for exams or reading legal or academic texts because missing details can change the meaning. In contrast, I usually skim social media posts or news summaries to get the main idea quickly.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

範例: I prefer scanning when I need to find specific information because it saves time. However, when I'm preparing for an exam I prefer detailed reading so I can fully understand and remember the material.
× Absolutely I do, I've been quite fond of reading, particularly when I have some downtown.
✓ Absolutely I do. I've been quite fond of reading, particularly when I have some downtime.
The original sentence has two issues: 'downtown' is the wrong word; the correct noun is 'downtime' meaning free time. Also the sentence is long and benefits from being split into two for clarity. Place of adverb 'Absolutely' is acceptable but a period improves readability. Suggestion: use 'downtime' and separate clauses into two sentences.
× I tend to gravitate towards novel and interesting articles because they allow me to unwind while also prodding my knowledge.
✓ I tend to gravitate towards novel and interesting articles because they allow me to unwind while also broadening my knowledge.
The verb 'prodding' is incorrect here; 'broadening' or 'expanding' is the correct collocation with 'knowledge'. 'Gravitate towards' and 'novel and interesting' are fine. Suggestion: use appropriate verb that collocates with 'knowledge' such as 'broaden'.
× I also find that reading regulars helps me improve my vocabulary and express myself more confident.
✓ I also find that regular reading helps me improve my vocabulary and express myself more confidently.
'Reading regulars' is incorrect; use 'regular reading' or 'reading regularly'. 'More confident' modifies a noun but here we need an adverb 'more confidently' to modify the verb 'express'. Suggestion: change to 'regular reading' and 'more confidently'.
× I definitely prefer reading on paper, there's somethings more relaxing about holding a physical books and turning the paces.
✓ I definitely prefer reading on paper; there's something more relaxing about holding a physical book and turning the pages.
Multiple errors: 'somethings' should be singular 'something'; 'a physical books' should be singular 'a physical book'; 'paces' should be 'pages'. Also comma splice corrected to semicolon or period. Suggestion: fix singular/plural and punctuation.
× That said, I do read on my phone for some time to time, especially when I'm traveling or don't have a book with me.
✓ That said, I do read on my phone from time to time, especially when I'm traveling or don't have a book with me.
Phrase 'some time to time' is incorrect; the correct idiom is 'from time to time'. Rest of sentence is fine. Suggestion: use the fixed idiom.
× It really depends on what I'm reading.
✓ It really depends on what I'm reading.
This sentence is correct in present tense and matches the question. No change needed.
× I need to read very carefully when I'm starting doing an exam or reading something important because missing even a simple details could affect my understanding.
✓ I need to read very carefully when I'm starting to take an exam or reading something important because missing even a simple detail could affect my understanding.
Errors: 'starting doing an exam' is ungrammatical; use 'starting to take an exam' or 'when I'm taking an exam'. 'A simple details' has number mismatch; use singular 'a simple detail' or 'simple details'. Suggestion: correct verb pattern and subject-verb/number agreement.
× On the other hand, when I'm reading social media, post orchestral articles, actually just skim through them to get general idea rather than focusing on every single word.
✓ On the other hand, when I'm reading social media posts or other short articles, I actually just skim through them to get a general idea rather than focus on every single word.
Several issues: 'post orchestral articles' is garbled — likely 'social media posts or other short articles'. Missing subject 'I' before 'actually'. 'Get general idea' needs article 'a'. 'Rather than focusing' can be 'rather than focus' to parallel 'skim'. Suggestion: restore correct nouns and parallel structure.
× I will say I prefer scanning when I'm looking for a specific information because it saves me a lot of time.
✓ I would say I prefer scanning when I'm looking for specific information because it saves me a lot of time.
'I will say' is awkward; 'I would say' is a polite hedging phrase. 'A specific information' is incorrect because 'information' is uncountable; use 'specific information' without 'a'. Suggestion: use 'would' and remove the article.
× However, I am reading something pretty restoring for an exam.
✓ However, if I am reading something preparatory for an exam,
Original 'pretty restoring' is incorrect; likely intended 'preparing' or 'preparatory' meaning for exam preparation. The sentence is incomplete; it should continue to explain preference. Suggestion: use 'preparatory' or 'preparing' and complete the sentence. Example: 'However, if I am reading something preparatory for an exam, I prefer detailed reading.'
× I prefer detailed reading so I can fully understand the information.
✓ I prefer detailed reading so that I can fully understand the information.
This sentence is acceptable, but adding 'so that' clarifies purpose and is more formal. No strong grammatical error but improvement suggested.
× So I think my preference really depends on on the purpose of reading.
✓ So I think my preference really depends on the purpose of reading.
Duplicate word 'on on' should be single 'on'. Otherwise sentence is fine. Suggestion: remove duplicate and keep phrase 'depends on the purpose of reading'.
