Examiner
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidate
Oh, well, I think where we have to read something carefully is read the introduction of how using the item. So you have to read it carefully like, umm, medicine, umm, why? Something that don't have to read carefully is like, uh, not necessary. Like, umm.
Examiner
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Oh well, that's depend on some feel that I like. I would prefer to reading in detail. So why the feel that I don't like? I would like to scanning it, such as, uh, the thing that's too complex for me.
Do you like reading?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cải thiện: Nói rõ ràng, ngắn gọn và sửa ngữ pháp. Tránh nhiều tiếng thừa (uh, um) và dùng câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó bổ sung lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể. Ví dụ: khai báo sở thích, tần suất và lý do (hoặc hoàn cảnh) đọc. Ngoài ra sửa lỗi ngữ pháp như “I am not a person who likes” hoặc “I sometimes read”.
Example: I don't usually enjoy reading books. However, I sometimes read news online to keep up with current events, and occasionally I read a book when my mother asks me to.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Cải thiện: Trình bày lý do mạch lạc và chính xác, tránh lỗi cú pháp và từ dư thừa. Dùng linking words (because, so, therefore) để kết nối ý. Nói cụ thể về triệu chứng (mỏi mắt, khó tập trung) thay vì câu hỏi lặp lại.
Example: I prefer reading on paper because staring at a screen for too long strains my eyes and makes me uncomfortable. On paper I can concentrate better and I don't get headaches.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Cải thiện: Cấu trúc câu rõ ràng: đưa câu chủ đề, giải thích và nêu ví dụ cụ thể. Tránh nói lặp và thiếu từ chính. Nên phân biệt rõ các trường hợp cần đọc kỹ (hướng dẫn sử dụng, thuốc, hợp đồng) và không cần đọc kỹ (tin tức nhẹ, quảng cáo).
Example: You should read carefully when the information affects your safety or health, for example medicine labels or instruction manuals for appliances. Casual material like advertisements or short social media posts usually doesn't require detailed reading.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cải thiện: Trả lời trực tiếp, sau đó giải thích lý do và đưa ví dụ rõ ràng. Tránh dùng từ không chính xác ('feel' không phù hợp). Nên nói khi nào bạn chọn đọc chi tiết và khi nào quét (scanning), dùng linking words như 'because' và 'for example'.
Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand complex ideas thoroughly. However, I scan texts when I'm looking for specific information or when the material is too long or complicated, for example skimming a long report to find a key statistic.
× Uh, I'm not really a people that like books or reading, but uh, sometime I would like to, uh, read some news or, uh, I were forced to, uh, read, uh, some book by my mom.
✓ Uh, I'm not really a person who likes books or reading, but sometimes I would like to read some news, or I was forced to read some books by my mom.
The student used 'people' instead of the singular 'person' and mixed singular/plural agreement. 'People' is plural; 'a people' is incorrect here. 'That' referring to people is informal; use 'who' for people. 'Like' should be 'likes' to agree with singular subject 'a person' (subject-verb agreement). 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes' for frequency. 'I were' is incorrect past tense for singular; use 'I was'. Also 'some book' should be plural 'some books' if referring generally. Suggestion: replace 'people' with 'person', use 'who likes', change 'sometime' to 'sometimes', and use correct past tense 'was'.
× Oh well, I would like to read on paper of course, because, uh, when I read uh, something on the screen for too long, my get so tired by somehow, uh, why reading on paper make umm, my eyes so feel so comfortable?
✓ Oh well, I would like to read on paper of course, because when I read something on the screen for too long, my eyes get very tired; that's why reading on paper makes my eyes feel comfortable.
Problems: missing noun 'eyes' after 'my', incorrect word order 'my get so tired by somehow', wrong verb form 'make' should be 'makes' to agree with singular gerund 'reading'. Use 'very tired' instead of 'so tired by somehow'. Suggestion: include the noun 'eyes', use correct subject-verb agreement 'reading... makes', and simplify phrasing to 'that's why' and 'feel comfortable'.
× Oh, well, I think where we have to read something carefully is read the introduction of how using the item.
✓ Oh, well, I think when we have to read something carefully is the introduction on how to use the item.
The sentence used 'where' incorrectly; 'when' is appropriate to refer to situations. The phrase 'read the introduction of how using the item' is ungrammatical: use 'the introduction on how to use the item' or 'the instructions for using the item'. Suggestion: replace 'where' with 'when' and rephrase to 'the introduction on how to use the item'.
× So you have to read it carefully like, umm, medicine, umm, why? Something that don't have to read carefully is like, uh, not necessary.
✓ So you have to read it carefully for things like medicine. Things that don't need to be read carefully are not necessary.
Errors: 'medicine' needs to be part of a phrase 'things like medicine'. 'Something that don't have to read carefully' has subject-verb disagreement and incorrect structure: use 'Things that don't need to be read carefully' or 'Things that don't need careful reading'. Suggestion: use plural 'things' and correct verb forms 'don't need' and passive 'be read' or active 'need to be read'.
× Oh well, that's depend on some feel that I like.
✓ Oh well, that depends on how I feel.
Error: 'that's depend' lacks third person singular agreement; should be 'that depends'. 'Depend on some feel that I like' is unidiomatic; use 'depends on how I feel'. Suggestion: use 'depends' and a natural phrase 'how I feel'.
× I would prefer to reading in detail.
✓ I would prefer to read in detail.
When using 'prefer to', the verb should be in base form: 'prefer to read', not 'prefer to reading'. Alternatively, 'prefer reading in detail' is acceptable. Suggestion: use 'prefer to read' or 'prefer reading'.
× So why the feel that I don't like? I would like to scanning it, such as, uh, the thing that's too complex for me.
✓ So when I don't like the feeling, I would like to scan it, for example things that are too complex for me.
Multiple errors: 'So why the feel that I don't like?' is unclear — use 'when I don't like the feeling'. 'I would like to scanning it' mixes 'would like to' with gerund; use 'scan' (base form) or 'prefer scanning'. 'the thing that's too complex' should be plural or 'something that is too complex'. Suggestion: rephrase to 'when I don't like it, I prefer to scan it' or 'I would scan it' and use plural 'things' or 'something'.
