Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 回答は直接的で好意が伝わりますが、文法ミスと不自然な表現があり、情報がやや不足しています。具体的には「I always did books almost every day」は誤文法で、現在習慣を表すなら現在形や現在完了を使うべきです。また、支持する詳細（どんなジャンルが好きか、なぜ好きか）を一つ加えるとより説得力が増します。回答は最大5文に収め、接続詞（because, so, recently）を適切に使って論理を整えてください。

例: Yes, I enjoy reading a lot. I usually read almost every day because it helps me relax and learn new things. Recently, I have been focusing on English textbooks and graded readers to improve my language skills.

提案: 答えは明確で理由も述べられていますが、表現を自然に直す必要があります（主語と動詞の一致や不定詞の使い方）。さらに、具体例（スマホや電子書籍の機能、利便性）を追加すると説得力が増します。接続詞を使って理由を整理し、冗長な表現を避けてください。

例: I prefer reading on a screen because I don't have to carry heavy books, and I can read anytime on my phone or tablet. For example, I often use an e-reader app that lets me highlight and look up words instantly.

提案: 内容は意図が伝わりますが、語彙選択と文法に問題があります（"scheme"の誤用、

例: I read carefully when I need to memorize important vocabulary for exams, so I study slowly and make flashcards. In contrast, when I am just browsing for general ideas, I skim articles quickly to get the main points.

提案: 意図は伝わりますが、語彙と表現の誤り（"lead it more easily"は不自然）や文法の改善が必要です。理由を二つ以上の具体的な点で説明すると良いです（時間の節約、要点把握、目的に応じた読み方）。接続詞で論理を整理し、自然なフレーズを使ってください。

例: I prefer scanning because it saves time and prevents me from getting tired, especially when I only need the main ideas. However, if I need to understand complex arguments, I switch to detailed reading to study carefully.

× I always did books almost every day.

✓ I read books almost every day.

The student used 'did' incorrectly with 'books'. In English, 'read' (pronounced 'red' in past) is the correct past tense verb for 'read'. Also, the intended meaning is a habitual past action, so simple past 'read' is appropriate. Suggestion: use 'I read books almost every day' for past habits or 'I used to read books almost every day' to emphasize a past routine.

× I prefer to read on the screen because it doesn't need to carry books and I can read anytime and anywhere.

✓ I prefer to read on a screen because I don't need to carry books and I can read anytime, anywhere.

Problems: article and pronoun reference and verb agreement. Use 'a screen' (or 'the screen' depending on context) not 'the screen' with general preference; 'it doesn't need to carry books' incorrectly uses 'it' and verb 'need' — readers carry books, not a screen, so rephrase to 'I don't need to carry books'. Also add a comma between 'anytime' and 'anywhere' for clarity. Suggestion: say 'I prefer to read on a screen because I don't need to carry books and I can read anytime, anywhere.'

× I read carefully when I need to memorize important words on my exams.

✓ I read carefully when I need to memorize important words for my exams.

Use of preposition 'on' with 'exams' is incorrect; 'for my exams' is the common collocation. The tense 'need' is correct. Suggestion: use 'for' to indicate purpose: 'memorize important words for my exams.'

× In contrast, when I don't need to memorize them, I scheme articles or books.

✓ In contrast, when I don't need to memorize them, I skim articles or books.

The student used 'scheme' which is incorrect in this context. The correct verb for quickly reading for general meaning is 'skim' (verb). 'Scheme' is unrelated. Suggestion: use 'skim' or 'scan' depending on meaning.

× I prefer scanning because it doesn't make me tired and I can lead it more easily.

✓ I prefer scanning because it doesn't make me tired and I can do it more easily.

Problems: pronoun and verb choice. 'Lead it' is incorrect; likely intended 'do it' or 'read it'. Use 'do it' for the activity or 'read it' if referring to reading. Also 'doesn't make me tired' is fine. Suggestion: 'I prefer scanning because it doesn't make me tired and I can do it more easily.'
