Do you like reading?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời tự nhiên và thân mật nhưng cần rút gọn và chính xác hơn, tránh tiếng “uh” và lỗi ngữ pháp nhỏ. Hãy mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề trực tiếp, sau đó bổ sung 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể (thói quen, loại sách) và dùng liên từ hợp lý. Ví dụ: “Yes, I enjoy reading” + “In my free time I often…” hoặc nêu mục đích đọc (giải trí, học hỏi).
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. In my free time I usually curl up with a novel and a cup of tea to relax, and I often choose books that help me learn new ideas or improve my thinking.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Ý tưởng rõ ràng và cụ thể nhưng có lỗi ngữ pháp và lặp từ. Nên dùng câu chủ đề ngắn gọn (“I prefer paper books”) rồi giải thích với 1–2 lý do cụ thể, tránh âm ừ/ “uh”. Sử dụng liên từ như “because” và “also” để mạch lạc hơn.
Example: I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the physical act of turning pages and underlining important points with a pen. I also find screens strain my eyes after a while, so paper is more comfortable for long reading sessions.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Nội dung mơ hồ và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp, câu không rõ nghĩa (phần về “cat” không phù hợp). Cần trả lời trực tiếp: nêu khi nào đọc kỹ và khi nào chỉ đọc lướt, kèm lý do cụ thể và ví dụ. Giữ dưới 5 câu, tránh các đoạn lặp và sửa lỗi mạo từ/ số nhiều.
Example: I read carefully when the material matters, for example detective novels or academic articles where details are important. But for casual things like news headlines or social media posts I usually skim to get the main idea.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Ý chính rõ ràng (thích đọc kỹ) nhưng câu lộn xộn, nhiều lặp từ và lỗi ngữ pháp khiến khó hiểu. Nên mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó nêu lý do rõ ràng và một ví dụ cụ thể. Tránh lặp và sửa cấu trúc như “I tend to read in detail” hoặc “I prefer detailed reading because…”.
Example: I prefer detailed reading because I worry about missing important information; for instance, when I study for exams I carefully read each paragraph and take notes to ensure I understand everything.
× I like, uh, sharpen my mind with a lot of uh, youthful knowledge.
✓ I like, uh, sharpening my mind with a lot of, uh, youthful knowledge.
The verb 'like' is commonly followed by a gerund (verb+ing) when referring to general preferences. Use 'sharpening' instead of the base form 'sharpen'. Suggestion: practice structures 'like + gerund' (e.g., 'I like reading', 'I like learning').
× Actually, I opt for a reading on paper because I love the feeling of turn each page and, uh, highlight the words with my pen, uh, compared to on a screen.
✓ Actually, I opt for reading on paper because I love the feeling of turning each page and, uh, highlighting the words with my pen, compared to reading on a screen.
The phrase 'a reading' is incorrect; use the uncountable noun 'reading' without 'a'. Also verbs after 'feeling of' require gerunds: 'turning' and 'highlighting'. The comparison should be 'compared to reading on a screen'. Suggestion: remove unnecessary articles and use gerunds after 'feeling of'.
× If I expose to screen a lot, I have a sore eye and I feel annoyed, so that's why I prefer reading.
✓ If I am exposed to screens a lot, I get sore eyes and I feel annoyed, so that's why I prefer reading.
The passive phrasing 'I am exposed to' is needed rather than 'I expose to'. 'Screen' should be plural 'screens' when speaking generally. Use 'get sore eyes' or 'have sore eyes' for the condition. Suggestion: use correct passive form and plural for general references.
× I usually read carefully when I read something which is my favorite, such as detective books or romance book.
✓ I usually read carefully when I read something that is my favorite, such as detective books or romance books.
Use 'that' (or 'which') for defining relative clauses in speech; keep number agreement: 'romance books' plural to match 'detective books'. Suggestion: ensure consistent pluralization when listing examples.
× In contrast, when I don't pay attention to my when I need to read to a cat, the cat the main information rather than details.
✓ In contrast, when I don't need to pay close attention, I read to capture the main information rather than the details.
Original sentence is fragmented and has extraneous words ('my', 'to a cat', repeated 'the cat'). Reword for clarity: express the contrast and purpose ('capture the main information rather than the details'). Suggestion: remove unintended words and reorganize sentence into a clear subject-verb-object structure.
× Personally I tend to read something in detailed way because I'm a careful person and I really I am really afraid of missing something, some or blood important so I tend to a reading.
✓ Personally, I tend to read something in a detailed way because I'm a careful person and I'm really afraid of missing something important, so I tend to read carefully.
Use the adverbial phrase 'in a detailed way' or 'in detail'; avoid repetition ('I really I am really'). 'Something important' is the correct noun phrase; 'a reading' is incorrect—use 'read' or 'read carefully'. Suggestion: simplify and remove redundant words, use 'read carefully' for clarity.
