Score: 85.0

Suggestion: Your answer is quite natural and effective, but try to avoid contractions like 'cause in formal speaking. Also, you can improve coherence by using linking words such as 'because' or 'since' instead of 'cause'. Try to keep your sentences concise and avoid redundancy.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but lacks fluency and contains grammatical errors. Avoid starting with 'To answer, simply study.' Instead, start directly with a topic sentence.

Example: I usually study in the library because I need a wide range of materials for my academics. Many books here are old and provide knowledge that is not available at my school, so I come here to learn more.

Grammar

Verb in the present participle form

× To answer, simply study.

To answer, I simply study.

The original sentence lacks a subject and verb structure, making it incomplete. Adding 'I' clarifies the subject and forms a complete sentence, which is necessary for proper grammar.

Singular and plural issue

× Mostly the books here are ancient and provides the knowledge that aren't available in my school.

Mostly the books here are ancient and provide the knowledge that isn't available in my school.

The verb 'provides' should be 'provide' to agree with the plural subject 'books'. Also, 'aren't' should be 'isn't' because 'knowledge' is uncountable singular. Subject-verb agreement is important for clarity.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× However, I was a bookworm even then, so I usually read the books available at home and enjoy children's ebook on my tablet.

However, I was a bookworm even then, so I usually read the books available at home and enjoy children's ebooks on my tablet.

The word 'ebook' should be plural 'ebooks' because it refers to multiple electronic books. Also, 'children's' is a possessive adjective correctly used here. Using the correct plural form improves accuracy.

Present tense issue

× This habit not only helps them prepare for future studies but also boost their confidence by expanding their knowledge on various subjects.

This habit not only helps them prepare for future studies but also boosts their confidence by expanding their knowledge on various subjects.

The verb 'boost' should be 'boosts' to agree with the singular subject 'habit'. Maintaining subject-verb agreement in present tense is essential for grammatical correctness.
