Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct repetition and word choice. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repeating phrases and correct grammar (e.g., 'it's deductive' → 'detective fiction', 'erratic' → 'eclectic', 'these books').

Example: I love reading. For example, I have a large collection and my favourite genres are detective fiction and eclectic literary novels. Because of these genres I can fully immerse myself in the stories, so I usually spend my free time with a book rather than watching TV.

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

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and two concise, specific reasons linked with linking words. Reduce fillers ('uh', 'umm') and avoid repeating 'obsessed'. Use precise vocabulary ('annotate' instead of 'write some notes').

Example: I prefer reading on paper because I can annotate directly in the margins and add stickers to mark important passages. Also, paper books make it easier for me to flip between chapters when I want to review something.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Answer first with a direct topic sentence that contrasts the two situations, then give specific examples and reasons. Correct unclear words ('channel' is wrong) and improve grammar ('for my perception' → 'for my understanding').

Example: I need to read carefully when the text is difficult, for example Russian classic literature, because the language and ideas are complex and hard for me to understand. In contrast, I don't read carefully when the material is light, like magazines or short online articles.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Give a clear, grammatical topic sentence and then specific reasons and examples. Decide one preference and explain why with concrete examples. Avoid broken phrases ('using scanner waiting for eyelets') and reduce hesitations.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because I like to understand the text fully and take notes. I usually read carefully for novels or school literature, while I scan quickly when I need specific facts, such as dates or names in articles.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I'm obsessed with reading and if I had a chance and if I have some free time, I'd like to spend this free time for reading.

I'm obsessed with reading, and if I have a chance and some free time, I'd like to spend it reading.

Mixed conditional and tense inconsistency: 'if I had a chance' (past subjunctive) conflicts with 'if I have some free time' (present). Use present real conditional 'if I have' to match the desire 'I'd like' (conditional polite request). Also replace 'spend this free time for reading' with 'spend it reading' for natural English and correct preposition usage.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× I have a lot of books and I have also my favorite genres and it's deductive and also I really enjoy reading some erratic books because I can fully I can fully immerse in this books.

I have a lot of books, and I also have my favorite genres; they are detective fiction, and I really enjoy reading some unusual books because I can fully immerse myself in these books.

Several issues: 'it's deductive' is incorrect adjective choice and agreement—use 'they are detective fiction' to match plural 'genres.' 'Erratic' is the wrong adjective for unusual/unconventional. Word order duplicated 'I can fully I can fully' removed. 'Immerse in this books' needs reflexive pronoun 'myself' and correct demonstrative 'these' for plural nouns.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I prefer to read on paper because I can write some notes on the pages and also I can add some, uh, some emotions by stickers and also, umm, I'm obsessed with pointing out something on the pages.

I prefer to read on paper because I can write notes in the margins, add emotions with stickers, and I like to highlight things on the pages.

Use natural prepositions: 'write notes in the margins' rather than 'on the pages' though 'on the pages' is possible; 'add emotions with stickers' uses correct preposition 'with' not 'by.' 'Pointing out something on the pages' is awkward; 'highlight things on the pages' or 'point things out' is clearer. Removed filler words.

Present tense issue

× So, uh, I'm obsessed with reading paper.

So, I'm obsessed with reading on paper.

Missing preposition: 'reading paper' sounds like reading newspapers or paper material; to express format preference use 'reading on paper.' Present tense 'I'm obsessed' is fine.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I have some problems with Russian literature because for As for me, the type of Russian literature is so complicated and difficult for my perception and I'd like to be more careful with this channel because I don't understand this at all.

I have some problems with Russian literature because, for me, this kind of literature is complicated and difficult for me to understand, so I need to read it more carefully.

Remove redundancy 'for As for me' to 'for me.' 'Type of Russian literature' better as 'this kind/kind of literature.' 'Difficult for my perception' is unnatural; use 'difficult for me to understand.' 'Be more careful with this channel' is incorrect metaphor; use 'read it more carefully.' Tenses adjusted to present habitual.

Present tense issue

× It's more daily for me using detailed reading, uh, because, uh, I used to be carefully with my books and I'm using scanner waiting for, just for eyelets, for example, for instance, it, it's can be like, umm, schools literature or something like that.

I usually use detailed reading because I tend to read my books carefully; I use scanning only to look for small details, for example in school texts or similar materials.

Multiple tense and word choice errors: 'It's more daily for me' changed to 'I usually' for present habitual. 'Using detailed reading' -> 'use detailed reading.' 'I used to be carefully' incorrect: 'I tend to read carefully' or 'I read carefully.' 'I'm using scanner waiting for, just for eyelets' is unclear; interpreted as 'I use scanning to look for small details.' 'Schools literature' corrected to 'school texts' or 'school literature.' Adjusted modal and verb forms for clarity and correct English usage.
