Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

Umm yes I do, because every time when I read I can learn different new knowledge from different reading materials. For example, I like to read newspapers because I can learn about the the Daily News from the newspaper I can know what happened currently.

Examiner

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

Candidate

Umm, I prefer read on the paper because uh, reading on the paper can protect my eyes. When I umm, look at the screen for long time, my eyes uh, will feel tired and it is more umm, grand uh, I mean it's good for the environment.

Examiner

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

Candidate

Uh, when I read the uh, some materials about work or study or the e-mail, I prefer to read carefully because I don't want to miss any point. I know when I read some book, like in novels, I will just skim it quickly because I just need to know the man umm enters uh, the main idea of the.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

Umm, to be honest, it depends. If I'm in a hurry, I prefer to scanning rather than, uh, detail reading because I don't have time. If I have more time and the details is important, I prefer to do a detailed reading.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail using linking words. Correct small grammar issues (e.g., "the the", "what happened currently"). Use varied vocabulary like "current events" or "top stories."

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. For example, I often read newspapers to keep up with current events, which helps me understand local and international news quickly.

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and clarify ideas. Give one main reason and a brief supporting explanation using linking words (e.g., "because" or "so"). Avoid vague words like "grand" and be precise ("better for the environment").

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it is easier on my eyes; when I stare at screens for a long time my eyes become tired, and paper is also more environmentally friendly.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Organize the answer with a clear contrast using linking words (e.g., "When... but..."). Provide specific examples and correct unclear phrases ("miss any point", "main idea"). Keep it under five sentences and reduce fillers.

Example: When I read work emails or study materials I read carefully because I don't want to miss important information. However, for novels I often skim to get the main idea quickly because I am more interested in the overall story than every detail.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: This answer is generally clear but could be tightened and use correct grammar ("prefer scanning" not "to scanning"). Use linking words like "however" and give a short concrete example to illustrate each choice.

Example: It depends. If I'm in a hurry I prefer scanning to find key information quickly; however, if the details are important—such as when preparing for an exam—I do a detailed reading to understand everything fully.

Grammar

Incorrect use of articles

× I like to read newspapers because I can learn about the the Daily News from the newspaper I can know what happened currently.

I like to read newspapers because I can learn about the Daily News from the newspaper and know what is happening currently.

The sentence had a repeated article 'the the' and lacked a conjunction between clauses. Also 'what happened currently' mixes past tense with 'currently'; use present continuous 'is happening' to indicate current events. Use 'and' to connect ideas for clarity.

Verb in the -ing form

× I prefer read on the paper because uh, reading on the paper can protect my eyes.

I prefer reading on paper because reading on paper can protect my eyes.

After 'prefer' when comparing general habits, use the gerund ('reading') or 'to read'; here gerund is consistent. Also 'on the paper' should be 'on paper' when speaking generally.

Present tense issue

× When I umm, look at the screen for long time, my eyes uh, will feel tired and it is more umm, grand uh, I mean it's good for the environment.

When I look at the screen for a long time, my eyes feel tired, and it is better for the environment.

Use present simple 'look' and 'feel' for habitual actions. 'Will feel' is unnecessary for a general statement. 'For long time' needs the article 'a'. 'Grand' is incorrect word choice; 'better' suits comparison about environmental impact.

Incorrect use of articles

× Uh, when I read the uh, some materials about work or study or the e-mail, I prefer to read carefully because I don't want to miss any point.

When I read some materials about work or study or an e-mail, I prefer to read carefully because I don't want to miss any points.

Do not mix 'the' with indefinite 'some materials'—use 'some' alone. Use 'an e-mail' for a single message. 'Any point' should be plural 'any points' to match 'miss' and general meaning.

Sentence structure errors

× I know when I read some book, like in novels, I will just skim it quickly because I just need to know the man umm enters uh, the main idea of the.

When I read some books, like novels, I just skim them quickly because I only need to know the main idea.

Incorrect word order and fragments: 'I know when' is unnecessary. Use plural 'books' with 'some'. 'Skim it' should agree in number with 'books' so 'skim them'. Remove unclear filler 'the man enters' and finish with 'the main idea'.

Verb + -ing form

× If I'm in a hurry, I prefer to scanning rather than, uh, detail reading because I don't have time.

If I'm in a hurry, I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading because I don't have time.

After 'prefer' use either gerund ('scanning') or 'to' plus base verb ('to scan'), so 'prefer scanning' is correct. 'Detail reading' is incorrect; use adjective 'detailed' before 'reading'.

Present tense issue

× If I have more time and the details is important, I prefer to do a detailed reading.

If I have more time and the details are important, I prefer to do a detailed reading.

Subject-verb agreement: plural 'details' requires 'are' not 'is'. The rest is appropriate; could also say 'I prefer detailed reading' for conciseness.
