Part 1
Examiner
Do you like reading?
Candidate
Yes, definitely. I think I'm a reading person. When I was young my mom usually bought some books for me because I love the reading and nowadays I love reading books too. So last week I bought some books in bookstore.
Examiner
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidate
I prefer to read on paper because it makes my eyes feel better than reading on a screen and I can focus on when I read. Uh, when they're reading a book with paper books.
Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
Well, I think when I read novels or cartoons. I don't have to read this book carefully and I think when I study I have to read carefully.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidate
It depends, but I think I prepared detailed reading more than scanning, because if I scanning something I cannot understand that story or something important point.
Do you like reading?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 답변이 전반적으로 의도를 전달하지만 문법 오류와 중복 표현이 있어 자연스럽지 못합니다. 간결한 주제문으로 시작하고, 시간을 나타내는 부사구(예: when I was young, nowadays, last week)를 논리적으로 배치해 이야기 흐름을 개선하세요. 예를 들어 과거 습관은 과거 시제로, 현재 습관은 현재 시제로 명확히 구분하고 불필요한 반복('love the reading', 'love reading books')을 제거하세요. 또한 책을 구입한 구체적 이유나 어떤 종류의 책을 샀는지 한두 가지 구체적 세부사항을 덧붙이면 점수가 올라갑니다.
Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I have loved books since childhood because my mother often bought me storybooks, and that habit continues today. For example, last week I bought a historical novel and a collection of short stories because I wanted something relaxing to read on weekends.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 의견은 분명하지만 문장이 어색하고 반복 및 단어 선택 오류('focus on when I read', 'when they're reading')가 있습니다. 명확한 주제문 후 이유를 두세 개의 간결한 문장으로 제시하세요. 연결사는 'because' 외에도 'so'나 'therefore'를 적절히 사용해 논리를 명확히 하고, 대명사 사용을 정확히 하세요. 예: 종이책이 눈에 덜 피로하다 / 집중하기 쉽다 / 물리적인 느낌이 좋다. 불필요한 음성 표현('Uh')은 제거하세요.
Example: I prefer paper books because they are gentler on my eyes and help me concentrate better. Also, I like the tactile feel of turning pages, which makes reading more enjoyable and immersive.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: 응답이 모호하고 내용의 일관성이 떨어집니다(소설과 만화를 같은 범주로 언급). 질문은 '언제' 세심히 읽는지와 '언제' 그렇지 않은지를 구분하라고 요구합니다. 주제문을 두 부분으로 나누어 각각 예시와 이유를 제시하세요(예: 학습자료는 세심히; 소설이나 만화는 편하게). 또한 시제와 지시대명사(이 책 등)를 정확히 사용하고, 구체적 예시나 결과를 덧붙이면 좋습니다.
Example: I read carefully when I'm studying or reading academic articles because I need to remember details and understand concepts fully. On the other hand, I don't read carefully when I'm reading light novels or comics; I read them for entertainment and relax while skimming the text.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 의견은 적절하지만 문법과 어휘 사용이 부정확합니다('I prepared detailed reading' 등). 'It depends'로 시작할 때는 어떤 상황에서 어느 방식을 선호하는지 구체적으로 설명하세요. 이유는 명확히 제시하고 연결어를 자연스럽게 사용하세요. 또한 'important point' 대신 'important points'처럼 복수형을 확인하고 동명사/분사 형태를 올바르게 사용하세요.
Example: It depends on the purpose. For studying or when I need to grasp complex ideas, I prefer detailed reading because scanning can make me miss important points. However, when I'm searching for a specific fact or reviewing notes, I use scanning to save time.
× When I was young my mom usually bought some books for me because I love the reading and nowadays I love reading books too.
✓ When I was young my mom usually bought some books for me because I loved reading, and nowadays I love reading books too.
The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly and uses an unnecessary article 'the' before 'reading'. Change 'love' to 'loved' to match past time frame 'When I was young', and remove 'the' to use the uncountable noun 'reading' correctly. Also add a comma before 'and' to join independent clauses. Suggestion: Use consistent tense for actions tied to a past time (use past tense) and avoid using 'the' with general activities like 'reading'.
× So last week I bought some books in bookstore.
✓ So last week I bought some books in a bookstore.
The noun 'bookstore' is a singular countable noun and requires an article. Use 'a' for a nonspecific single bookstore. Alternatively, 'the bookstore' could be used if referring to a specific one already known. Suggestion: Use 'a' with singular countable nouns when mentioning them for the first time.
× I prefer to read on paper because it makes my eyes feel better than reading on a screen and I can focus on when I read.
✓ I prefer to read on paper because it is easier on my eyes than reading on a screen, and I can focus better when I read.
The original uses 'it makes my eyes feel better' which is wordy and awkward; compare structures require parallel and clear pronouns. Also 'focus on when I read' is ungrammatical; the correct adverb placement is 'focus better when I read.' Suggestion: Use concise comparative forms ('easier on my eyes') and place adverbs ('better') next to the verb they modify.
× Uh, when they're reading a book with paper books.
✓ Uh, I mean when I'm reading a paper book.
Fragment and unclear pronoun 'they're' do not match speaker. The phrase is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb and subject agreement. Replace with complete clause 'I mean when I'm reading a paper book.' Suggestion: Avoid fragments; ensure subject and verb match the speaker (use 'I' and 'I'm').
× Well, I think when I read novels or cartoons.
✓ Well, I think I don't have to read cartoons carefully, but I do need to read novels carefully.
Original is a fragment and unclear contrast. It lacks a main verb. The pronoun 'cartoons' and 'novels' need parallel structure and a clear statement about which require careful reading. Suggestion: Make full sentences and state the comparison explicitly.
× I don't have to read this book carefully and I think when I study I have to read carefully.
✓ I don't have to read some books, like cartoons, carefully, but when I study I have to read carefully.
Mixes present simple with unclear reference 'this book'; 'this book' suggests a specific book but context refers generally. Use general noun phrase 'some books, like cartoons' and maintain present tense for habitual actions. Suggestion: Use clear general references and keep tense consistent for habitual statements.
× It depends, but I think I prepared detailed reading more than scanning, because if I scanning something I cannot understand that story or something important point.
✓ It depends, but I think I prepare for detailed reading more than scanning, because if I scan something I cannot understand the story or important points.
'Prepared detailed reading' is incorrect: use present habitual 'prepare for detailed reading' or 'prefer detailed reading'. 'If I scanning' is wrong form; 'scan' (base form) is needed after 'if' for present real condition. Also 'that story or something important point' is ungrammatical; use 'the story or important points.' Suggestion: Use correct verb forms after conditionals ('if I scan'), prefer 'prefer detailed reading' or 'prepare for detailed reading', and use plural 'points' for general ideas.
