Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: You answered directly and gave personal details, which is good. To improve, make your sentences grammatically correct and more coherent: use a clear topic sentence, correct tense forms, and avoid fragments. Add one or two specific examples of books or genres to enrich content and use linking words (e.g., “when I was a child, I had more free time, so I read a lot” ).

例: I enjoy reading, especially as a child when I had more free time to explore books. For example, I loved adventure and fantasy novels like The Chronicles of Narnia, and I had a small bookshelf in my room filled with those titles. Because I read so much then, reading has remained one of my favorite hobbies.

提案: Your answer compares past and present well, but grammar and clarity need work. Use correct comparative structures and reduce redundancy. Mention one concrete reason and a linking phrase (e.g., “nowadays, I prefer ebooks because…”). Avoid unfinished sentences.

例: I used to prefer reading on paper, but nowadays I prefer ebooks on my Kindle because it stores many titles and is convenient for travel. Also, the adjustable font and backlight help reduce eye strain, so I find it more practical than physical books.

提案: The idea is clear, but pronunciation errors and grammar make it hard to follow. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct vocabulary (e.g., “work on documents” not “woke on”), and use linking words to contrast (e.g., “however”). Be specific about what makes careful reading necessary (deadlines, accuracy) and what casual reading means (enjoyment, skimming).

例: I need to read carefully when I work on documents that I must submit, such as reports or official forms, because accuracy and detail are important. However, when I read fiction for pleasure, I usually skim through the text to enjoy the story without focusing on every detail.

提案: Good contrast and clear position. Improve by tightening language and using linking words: start with main idea, then give conditions when detailed reading is necessary. Provide a concise example of a situation requiring detailed reading (e.g., studying for an exam).

例: I usually prefer scanning because it helps me find general ideas quickly, but I read in detail when I need exact information, such as studying for an exam or checking technical specifications. For instance, when researching for a project, I read the methods and results sections carefully to ensure accuracy.

× Yes, I like reading. Particularly when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I liked reading, particularly when I was a child.

The student is comparing a past habit with the present; 'like' should be past 'liked' to match 'when I was a child'. Use past simple for past habits. Suggestion: use 'liked' or rephrase 'I like reading and I did especially when I was a child.' (English (Mongolia))

× There was enough time to read the books and I read a lot.

✓ There was enough time to read books and I read a lot.

The sentence correctly uses past tense 'was' and 'read' but includes an unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'books'. Remove 'the' for general meaning. Suggestion: drop 'the' when speaking about books in general. (English (Mongolia))

× There was a big library in my room, included all the books that I have read at the time.

✓ There was a big library in my room that included all the books I had read at the time.

Original has faulty clause connection and incorrect tense 'have read' for a past reference. Use a relative clause 'that included' and past perfect 'had read' to show books read before that past time. Suggestion: connect clauses with 'that' and use past perfect for actions completed before another past time. (English (Mongolia))

× In the past I preferred to read in a paper, but since I got ebook I prefer nowadays to read on a Kindle tool that contains a different books and it is not harmful for the for eyes.

✓ In the past I preferred to read on paper, but since I got an ebook I nowadays prefer to read on a Kindle, which contains different books and is not harmful for the eyes.

Multiple problems: preposition 'in a paper' should be 'on paper'; missing article before 'ebook' ('an ebook'); awkward 'prefer nowadays to' reordered to 'nowadays prefer'; 'Kindle tool' simplified to 'Kindle'; 'a different books' should be 'different books'; duplicate 'the for'. Also use 'which' for a non-restrictive clause and 'is not harmful for the eyes' (or 'to the eyes'). Suggestion: use correct prepositions, articles, and word order. (English (Mongolia))

× So I prefer ebook rather than.

✓ So I prefer ebooks rather than paper books.

Sentence is incomplete and lacks the comparison object. 'Rather than' must be followed by what it is compared to. Suggestion: complete the comparison, e.g., 'rather than paper books' or 'rather than printed books'. (English (Mongolia))

× When I woke on the documentation that needs to submit, for example, reports and the residual I need you to focus on.

✓ When I work on documentation that needs to be submitted, for example reports and the rest, I need to focus.

Many issues: 'woke' is incorrect form of 'work' (wrong word), 'needs to submit' requires passive 'needs to be submitted', 'residual' wrong word choice; 'I need you to focus on' incorrectly addresses examiner. Use 'I need to focus' for self. Suggestion: use correct verb 'work', passive for 'needs to be submitted', and clearer nouns like 'the rest' or 'other documents'. (English (Mongolia))

× But when I read the literature, uh, uh, fiction book, I don't need to be carefully, but just go through.

✓ But when I read literature or a fiction book, I don't need to read carefully; I just skim through it.

Problems: 'the literature' -> 'literature' or 'a literature' wrong; 'fiction book' should be 'a fiction book' or 'fiction books'; 'need to be carefully' misuses adjective 'carefully' instead of adverb modifying 'read'; 'just go through' missing object. Suggestion: use 'read carefully' and 'skim through it' for casual reading. (English (Mongolia))

× Usually I prefer scanning, but sometimes it needs to be read detailed in order to get exact information or specific facts.

✓ Usually I prefer scanning, but sometimes it needs to be read in detail in order to get exact information or specific facts.

Use 'in detail' (correct adverbial phrase) rather than adjective 'detailed' after 'read'. The passive 'needs to be read in detail' is acceptable. Suggestion: use 'in detail' and keep consistent verb forms. (English (Mongolia))

× When I read fiction books I just scan and it is understandable enough.

✓ When I read fiction books I just scan them and they are understandable enough.

Pronoun reference and agreement: 'it' should refer to plural 'books' so use 'them' and 'they are' to match plural subject. Also maintain consistent verb forms. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents. (English (Mongolia))
