Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more fluent and concise: remove filler words (uh), use correct grammar (plural/singular, articles), and structure the response with a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words to connect ideas. Aim for correct verb forms and noun phrases (e.g., 'I read books' not 'I read book').

例: Yes — I enjoy reading. I mainly read philosophical books and novels when I’m looking for answers to big questions, such as the meaning of life, because they offer thoughtful perspectives. For example, I recently read a book that changed how I think about purpose.

提案: Give a direct topic sentence and a clear reason; avoid trailing off. Use a complete sentence that states your preference, then add one or two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., 'because', 'so').

例: I prefer to read books on paper because I find it easier to concentrate and I remember information better. For instance, when I study for exams, annotating printed pages helps me recall key points.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers both parts. Use contrasting linking words (e.g., 'whereas', 'but') and correct collocations ('read carefully', 'read casually/browse'). Be specific about what careful reading involves and give an example.

例: I need to read carefully when I’m preparing for university classes because I must understand concepts and make notes. Whereas when I read a novel before bed, I read more casually to relax, and I don’t focus on every detail.

提案: Correct vocabulary ('scanning' not 'scamming'), and answer directly with a clear reason. Use linking words to explain how you use scanning or detailed reading and give a concise example of when you use each method. Keep sentences complete and grammatical.

例: I prefer scanning because it helps me find key information quickly, especially when researching. However, after scanning, I often do detailed reading of the most relevant sections to understand the main ideas and arguments.

× I often read uh, philosophical books and novels, uh, when I search some answer to my question like meaning of life or the answer, I read book and such and thoughtful answer from that books.

✓ I often read philosophical books and novels when I search for answers to questions like the meaning of life; I read books and find thoughtful answers from them.

Errors: 'search some answer' should be 'search for answers' (incorrect verb + object structure and number). 'I read book' needs plural 'books'. 'from that books' should be 'from them' (incorrect use of demonstrative and noun number). Use of past participle not primary here but errors map to verb-object and plural forms. Suggestion: use 'search for' with plural 'answers', make nouns plural when general, and replace 'that books' with 'them' or 'those books' for correct reference.

× I prefer to read the books by. By reading books on paper, because.

✓ I prefer to read books on paper because I find it easier to focus when I hold a physical book.

Original is fragmented and incomplete. 'The books by.' is an unfinished clause and 'By reading books on paper, because.' is a dangling phrase. Suggestion: combine into a full sentence stating the preference and a reason, ensuring subject and verb are present.

× When I read books, in order to prepare for the university class, I have to read a book carefully and think about it much.

✓ When I read books to prepare for university classes, I have to read carefully and think about them a lot.

Errors: 'the university class' is unnatural here — use 'university classes' for general meaning (article/number issue). 'a book carefully' inconsistent with 'books' — use 'read carefully' without 'a'. 'think about it much' uses incorrect pronoun number and adverb placement; use 'think about them a lot'. Suggestion: keep number consistent and use natural adverb 'a lot'.

× But when I read a novel well before I sleep, I end casually.

✓ But when I read a novel before I sleep, I often end up falling asleep or reading casually.

Errors: 'well before I sleep' awkwardly placed — use 'before I sleep'. 'I end casually' is incorrect verb usage; 'end up' plus gerund expresses result (end up falling asleep/reading casually). Suggestion: use 'end up' + verb-ing to show outcome and choose clear outcome ('falling asleep' or 'reading casually').

× I prefer scamming because. When I read book it is important that after I read a book I think about what was wrote and what is the main idea of book. So I think after I.

✓ I prefer scanning because when I read a book it is important that after I finish reading I think about what was written and what the main idea of the book is, so I reflect afterward.

Errors: 'scamming' is wrong word; should be 'scanning' (verb choice). Sentence fragments ('because.') and missing articles ('read book' -> 'read a book'). 'what was wrote' uses incorrect verb form; should be past participle 'written'. 'what is the main idea of book' needs articles and correct word order: 'what the main idea of the book is'. 'So I think after I' is incomplete. Suggestion: use 'finish reading' or 'after I finish reading', use past participle 'written', include articles, and complete the final clause ('so I reflect afterward').
