Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
Yes, I like reading. I usually read a novel once a week because it helps me forget the daily stress and unwind. I'm enjoying reading.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
I prefer reading on a screen because it's convenient and portable. It allows me to carry many books anywhere, like in library or at my workspace. It also allows me to highlight the key point and search for information quickly.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
If I prepare for an exam, I read carefully and take notes so that I can understand the important facts. But if I reading for pleasure, such as a magazine or a novel, I will skin and read casually for two relays and enjoy.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
Well, I think it depends on situations. As I say, if I am preparing for example exam, I will really carefully and I will read the detail. But if I reading first pleasure, I just skim and enjoy the story.
Do you like reading?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and natural phrasing. Give a clear topic sentence then one or two supporting details; avoid tense errors and redundancy. For example, replace “I'm enjoying reading” with “I enjoy reading” and remove repetition of ‘like’/‘enjoy’.
Example: I enjoy reading. I usually read a novel once a week to unwind and forget daily stress, and this helps me relax before bed.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: Polish word choice and article use; make sentences more concise and varied. Use linking words to connect reasons (for example, “first” and “also”) and correct articles (“in the library”).
Example: I prefer reading on a screen because it is convenient and portable. First, I can carry hundreds of books on one device, which is useful in the library or at my workspace. Also, I can easily highlight key points and search for information quickly.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Correct grammar and vocabulary (e.g., “if I am preparing,” “I read carefully,” “if I am reading for pleasure,” “skim,” and remove unclear phrases like “for two relays”). Keep structure: topic sentence + 1–2 specific examples. Use linking words (e.g., “however”).
Example: If I am preparing for an exam, I read carefully and take notes so I can remember important facts. However, if I am reading for pleasure, such as a magazine or a novel, I usually skim the text and read casually to enjoy the story.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence: say it depends on purpose. Use correct forms: “if I am preparing for an exam, I read carefully and focus on details; if I am reading for pleasure, I skim.” Add a linking word like “whereas” or “but.”
Example: It depends on the purpose. If I am preparing for an exam, I read carefully and focus on the details, whereas if I am reading for pleasure I usually skim and focus on the plot rather than every detail.
× I usually read a novel once a week because it helps me forget the daily stress and unwind.
✓ I usually read a novel once a week because it helps me forget the daily stress and unwind.
No corrections needed for this sentence.
× I'm enjoying reading.
✓ I enjoy reading.
The present continuous 'I'm enjoying' suggests a temporary action happening right now; for habits or general preferences you should use the simple present 'I enjoy'. Use simple present to describe likes or routines.
× It allows me to carry many books anywhere, like in library or at my workspace.
✓ It allows me to carry many books anywhere, like in the library or at my workspace.
English requires the definite article 'the' with singular countable nouns when referring to a specific or generic place like 'library'. Add 'the' before 'library'. 'At my workspace' is fine.
× It also allows me to highlight the key point and search for information quickly.
✓ It also allows me to highlight key points and search for information quickly.
'The key point' implies a single specific point; when speaking generally about many books use plural 'key points'. Either 'the key points' (if referring to specific points) or 'key points' (general). Also structure 'highlight key points' is more natural.
× If I prepare for an exam, I read carefully and take notes so that I can understand the important facts.
✓ If I am preparing for an exam, I read carefully and take notes so that I can understand the important facts.
When referring to preparation in progress for a specific event, the present continuous 'I am preparing' is more natural. However the original simple present is acceptable in some contexts; changing to 'I am preparing' matches the idea of a current preparation period.
× But if I reading for pleasure, such as a magazine or a novel, I will skin and read casually for two relays and enjoy.
✓ But if I am reading for pleasure, such as a magazine or a novel, I will skim and read casually to relax and enjoy it.
'I reading' lacks the auxiliary verb; use 'I am reading' (present continuous). 'Skin' is a misspelling of 'skim'. 'Two relays' is incorrect; likely intended 'to relax'. Add 'it' at the end to reference the reading.
× Well, I think it depends on situations.
✓ Well, I think it depends on the situation.
Use the singular 'the situation' or plural 'situations' without 'the' depending on meaning; the natural phrase is 'depends on the situation' meaning in each case. 'Depends on situations' is awkward. Use 'the situation'.
× As I say, if I am preparing for example exam, I will really carefully and I will read the detail.
✓ As I said, if I am preparing for an exam, I will read very carefully and read the details.
'A s I say' should be 'As I said' to refer back to earlier statement. 'For example exam' needs article 'an' and word order 'an exam'. 'I will really carefully' places adverb incorrectly; use 'read very carefully'. 'Read the detail' should be 'read the details' or 'read in detail'.
× But if I reading first pleasure, I just skim and enjoy the story.
✓ But if I am reading for pleasure, I just skim and enjoy the story.
Again 'I reading' lacks auxiliary; use 'I am reading'. 'First pleasure' is wrong; should be 'for pleasure'. The rest is fine.
