Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (when you started, what you enjoy, an example). Avoid repetition and filler. Use linking words like “because” or “for example.”

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I have loved books since childhood because they let me explore new ideas and relax. For example, I often borrow novels from the local library and read in the evenings to unwind.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion first and support it with two concise, specific reasons. Reduce hesitations and avoid repeating words. Use linking words like “because” and “secondly.”

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it feels more tangible and helps me concentrate. Secondly, paper books are easier on my eyes than screens, so I can read longer without discomfort.

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

Score: 54.0

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear contrast: say when careful reading is necessary and when skimming is okay. Provide specific examples and reasons. Avoid vague words and filler; use linking words like “while” or “however.”

Example: I need to read carefully when the material is complex, for example in psychology or philosophy, because the ideas are detailed and require reflection. However, I skim light fiction or simple news articles when I only want the main points.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, then explain with a clear reason and an example. Reduce repetition and hesitations. Use linking words like “because” and “for instance.”

Example: It depends on the book, but generally I prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand the content and main ideas. For instance, I read academic texts carefully, while I might scan a magazine article for interesting points.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Yes, I like reading from childhood.

Yes, I have liked reading since childhood.

The original uses simple present with a time expression 'from childhood' which requires present perfect to show a continuing state from the past to now. Use 'have liked' and 'since' to indicate duration from a specific point in the past to the present.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I like to borrow books from library and for me it's one of them.

I like to borrow books from the library, and for me it is one of my favorite activities.

When referring to a specific place like 'library' in general use, English requires the definite article 'the'. Also 'one of them' is unclear; rephrase to 'one of my favorite activities' to clarify meaning.

Sentence structure errors

× Great moment when I read when I am reading books.

I feel great when I am reading books.

The original is awkward and ungrammatical. It needs a subject and verb that express feeling. Use 'I feel great when I am reading books' to produce a correct and natural sentence structure.

Present tense issue

× Uh, I prefer to read on paper because, uh, watching, uh, screen for me it's uh, boring and uh, also I uh, think, uh, when you read, you have to touch the paper and it's uh, more different feeling than the, uh, when you, uh, read from screen.

I prefer to read on paper because looking at a screen is boring for me. Also, I think that when you read you should touch the paper; it gives a different feeling than reading from a screen.

Multiple issues: word choice 'watching screen' is incorrect — use 'looking at a screen'. Word order 'for me it's boring' should be 'is boring for me'. 'More different' is incorrect comparative — use 'a different feeling'. Use modal 'should' for recommendation. Improve sentence flow by splitting into two sentences.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× And when are the bookies, umm, uh, something serious maybe, uh, when it's a book about psychology or philosophy, I need to read carefully, uh, but uh, when it's, uh, not, uh, very default and thoughtful, uh, things in this book it's.

When the books are about serious subjects, like psychology or philosophy, I need to read carefully. But if they are not very deep or thoughtful, I do not read them as carefully.

'Bookies' is incorrect; use 'books'. 'Very default and thoughtful' is ungrammatical and unclear — likely meant 'very deep or thoughtful'. Also fix word order and agreement: 'When the books are about...' and clarify contrast with 'but if they are not...'.

Subject-verb agreement errors

× It's depend on the book and depends, uh, on the subjects.

It depends on the book and the subject.

Use third person singular 'depends' not 'depend'. Also simplify 'depends on the subjects' to 'the subject' for clarity and agreement.

Present tense issue

× Uh, actually I prepare a detailed reading, uh, because it's uh, uh, I think right way, uh, to understand what you are reading and uh, uh, what is the main idea of the book.

Actually, I prepare for detailed reading because I think it is the right way to understand what you are reading and to grasp the main idea of the book.

Use 'prepare for detailed reading' (preposition use) and 'it is the right way' for correct present tense. Add 'to grasp' to parallel 'to understand'. Remove fillers for clarity.
