阅读— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer shows enthusiasm and relevant ideas, but it has repetition, some grammatical errors, and an incomplete ending. To improve: 1) Keep answers within 3–4 clear sentences; 2) Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two concise supporting points; 3) Avoid repeating words (e.g., “to to”); 4) Correct grammar: use “helps me relax” not “helps for me to relax”; 5) Finish your thought so the response feels complete. Focus on natural phrasing and varied vocabulary (e.g., “relax,” “unwind,” “stimulate my thinking”).

範例: Yes, I really enjoy reading. It stimulates my thinking and helps me learn new ideas, so I read regularly. Also, when I want to unwind after a busy day, I read fiction because it helps me relax and forget about stress.

建議: This answer is clear and relevant, but contains awkward phrasing and a small coherence issue (“time screen” unclear). To improve: 1) Use a concise topic sentence stating your preference; 2) Provide one or two specific reasons with clear linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example”); 3) Avoid unclear phrases—replace “time screen” with “a productive use of time” or similar; 4) Watch minor grammar (e.g., “do it” → omit “it”).

範例: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient and I can carry many books on my phone. For example, when I feel tempted to scroll social media, I often open an e-book instead, which is a more productive use of my time.

建議: Your response addresses the question with relevant contrast but has redundancy and slightly unclear wording. To improve: 1) Open with a clear topic sentence that contrasts the two situations; 2) Use linking words (e.g., “however,” “on the other hand”); 3) Replace vague phrases like “most of our daily tasks are actually tasks” with specific examples (e.g., emails, news headlines); 4) Add one concrete example of when careful reading is needed.

範例: I usually skim for everyday things like emails or news headlines because I only need the main point. However, I read carefully when I have to analyze a report, study for an exam, or understand a contract, because those require attention to detail.

建議: This answer is well-structured and gives clear examples and a contrast. To improve further: 1) Begin with a direct statement of preference (e.g., “I prefer scanning for daily reading”); 2) Fix minor grammatical issues (e.g., “analyze,” “for example,” “in a novel”); 3) Use one linking phrase to connect ideas (e.g., “but,” “however”); 4) Make sentences concise—avoid repeating “read” unnecessarily.

範例: I prefer scanning for everyday reading because it lets me get the main points quickly, such as headlines and emails. But when I need to study for an exam or analyze a report, I switch to detailed reading and take notes to ensure I understand every important detail.

× I love reading because I find it very useful and I can actually stimulate my thinking.

✓ I love reading because I find it very useful and it can actually stimulate my thinking.

The original uses 'I can actually stimulate my thinking' which implies the speaker stimulates their own thinking; context suggests the activity (reading) stimulates thinking. Replace 'I can' with 'it can' to correctly refer to reading. Use of correct subject avoids ambiguity and improves coherence.

× Also when I need time to to relax and to to get some rest I will go for reading because it actually helps for me to relax my nervous system.

✓ Also, when I need time to relax and to get some rest, I will read because it actually helps me to calm my nervous system.

Multiple issues: duplicated 'to', unnecessary preposition 'for' after 'helps', and awkward phrase 'go for reading'. The verb 'read' is correct; use 'helps me' not 'helps for me' and 'calm' is more natural than 'relax' for 'nervous system'. Add commas for clarity.

× Also what I'm going to do is.

✓ Also, what I'm going to do is read when I need a break.

Original is an incomplete sentence/fragment lacking a complement after 'is'. Complete the sentence by adding the intended action (read when I need a break). Ensure sentence has a verb and object to be grammatically complete.

× I prefer to read on screen.

✓ I prefer to read on a screen.

Function words: include the indefinite article 'a' before 'screen' for natural English when speaking generally about one screen/device. This aligns with countable noun usage.

× Whenever I find myself scrolling on my phone to break this bad habit, I'll go to read something so it can be a useful time screen for myself.

✓ Whenever I find myself scrolling on my phone to break this bad habit, I'll read something so it can be a useful use of screen time for me.

Problems: 'go to read something' is awkward; 'time screen' is wrong word order; 'myself' at end is unnecessary. Use 'read something' and 'use of screen time' and 'for me' as correct pronoun phrase.

× Well, I think most of our daily tasks are actually tasks, including passive reading.

✓ Well, I think most of our daily activities are passive, including passive reading.

Redundant 'tasks are actually tasks' is incorrect and awkward. Replace with 'activities are passive' to convey intended meaning. This fixes sentence structure and word choice.

× We don't actually read carefully.

✓ We don't usually read carefully.

'Actually' is acceptable but 'usually' better indicates frequency in this context. This is a style improvement rather than strict grammar; it clarifies the intended meaning.

× We just want to get the point and then we go scanning.

✓ We just want to get the point, so we scan.

Original mixes tenses and uses gerund 'scanning' awkwardly. Use simple present 'we scan' to match 'we want' and make the sentence concise and grammatically parallel.

× But when it's about analyzing a task or a novel or finding details, we are going to read carefully.

✓ But when it involves analyzing a task or a novel or finding details, we read carefully.

'We are going to read carefully' suggests future intention; context asks when we need to read carefully in general, so use simple present 'we read carefully'. Also 'when it's about' is better as 'when it involves'.

× Actually, most of my daily reading is passive.

✓ Actually, most of my daily reading is passive.

This sentence is grammatical; no article change needed. Included here to indicate review: keep as is.

× I just read the headlines of news and emails to get the main point quickly.

✓ I just read the headlines of the news and emails to get the main point quickly.

'News' as a mass noun often takes 'the' when referring to a news section or headlines. Add 'the' to be natural: 'the headlines of the news'. Alternatively 'news headlines' is acceptable.

× However, when I need to analyse a report, study for an example, find specific information in novel, I read more carefully and take notes to make sure I understand all the details.

✓ However, when I need to analyse a report, study for an exam, or find specific information in a novel, I read more carefully and take notes to make sure I understand all the details.

Corrections: 'study for an example' is incorrect; should be 'study for an exam'. Add 'or' for list clarity and include indefinite article 'a' before 'novel'. Keep simple present tense 'I read' to indicate habitual action.
