Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Correct grammar (plural/singular, verb forms) and avoid vague phrasing like "getting the cultural activities."

例: Yes, I enjoy reading in my free time because it helps me learn new things. For example, I read novels and travel essays that teach me about different cultures and customs, which I find fascinating.

提案: Begin with a direct answer (paper or screen), then give two clear reasons using linking words (first, second, because). Fix grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer reading on paper. First, screens tire my eyes after a long time, so printed books feel more comfortable. Second, with paper I can easily underline or write notes and pick up where I left off.

提案: Answer directly and distinguish situations when careful reading is necessary versus when skimming is acceptable. Use linking words (when, but) and give a specific example to support your point. Correct word choice and avoid overgeneralization.

例: I usually read carefully when the material is important, such as study texts or instructions, because small details matter. However, I skim light fiction or news articles when I only want the main idea.

提案: Give a clear short answer then explain the conditions for each method using linking words (if, when, but). Use correct collocations ("scan quickly", "in-depth reading") and avoid repetition.

例: It depends on my purpose. If I need a fact like a date or name, I scan quickly; but if I want to understand an idea or argument, I do in-depth reading and take notes.

× I love to read the books in my free time as it increases my knowledge and help me in getting the cultural activities of the different countries.

✓ I love to read books in my free time because it increases my knowledge and helps me learn about the cultural activities of different countries.

Errors: unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'books' and 'different countries' (use general plural), verb agreement 'help' should be 'helps' to match singular subject 'it', awkward phrase 'in getting the cultural activities' corrected to 'learn about the cultural activities'. Suggestion: omit 'the' when speaking generally about plural nouns, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use natural collocations like 'learn about'. Grammar problem type ID:14

× I usually prefer to read on the paper because while reading it on the screen it can make my eyes damaged.

✓ I usually prefer to read on paper because reading on a screen can damage my eyes.

Errors: 'on the paper' should be 'on paper' (no article for general medium), 'while reading it on the screen' is wordy and uses unnecessary pronoun 'it', and 'can make my eyes damaged' is incorrect—use 'can damage my eyes'. Suggestion: use 'on paper' for general preference, use active verb 'damage', and avoid unnecessary pronouns. Grammar problem type ID:17

× On the. The papers are easy because we can mark at our own level wheresoever we have read the books and can start continuing reading it afterwards.

✓ Paper is convenient because we can mark where we stopped reading and continue afterwards.

Errors: fragment 'On the.' and awkward 'The papers are easy'—use 'Paper is convenient' for general statement. 'mark at our own level wheresoever we have read the books' is ungrammatical and wordy; corrected to 'mark where we stopped reading'. 'continue reading it afterwards' simplified to 'continue afterwards'. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments, use concise phrasing, and keep subject consistent. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I read the book carefully every time as each and every topic has its own interest.

✓ I read books carefully every time because each topic has its own interest.

Errors: 'the book' implies a specific book but the meaning is general; use plural 'books'. 'each and every' is redundant—use 'each'. 'has its own interest' is acceptable but 'has its own interest' retained; improved flow by removing redundancy. Suggestion: choose articles to match general vs specific meaning and avoid redundant phrases. Grammar problem type ID:22

× So reading the book in an appropriate manner will make your interest towards the story.

✓ So reading a book appropriately will increase your interest in the story.

Errors: 'the book' should be 'a book' for a general statement; 'make your interest towards the story' is unidiomatic—use 'increase your interest in the story'. Suggestion: use 'a' for general examples and the preposition 'in' after 'interest'. Grammar problem type ID:17

× It depends, when I'm looking at a specific date or a name it's a quick scanning goes and when I'm getting into deeper and deeper to any of the topic then I have to deep studying it.

✓ It depends. When I'm looking for a specific date or name, I scan quickly; when I go deeper into a topic, I have to study it in depth.

Errors: run-on sentence and incorrect pronoun/phrase 'it's a quick scanning goes'—use 'I scan quickly'. 'getting into deeper and deeper to any of the topic' incorrect preposition and form; use 'go deeper into a topic'. 'I have to deep studying it' mixes forms; use 'study it in depth'. Suggestion: split into two clauses, use correct verb forms, and standard collocations 'scan quickly' and 'study in depth'. Grammar problem type ID:12
