Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with brief supporting details. Correct grammar (e.g., use gerunds correctly, articles, and verb forms) and avoid redundancy. Use a linking phrase to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading. It helps me relax and refresh my mind, and I often learn new ideas or different viewpoints from books. For example, reading short stories after work helps me unwind and sometimes gives me useful insights I can use in conversations.

提案: Give a direct answer first, then add a concise, specific reason and an example. Correct tense and phrasing ("on paper", "my eyes hurt", "I slept"). Limit to two to three sentences and use a linking word like "because" or "for example".

例: I prefer reading on paper because screens strain my eyes. For example, a few days ago I read from my laptop for several hours and my eyes started hurting, so I had to rest and sleep early.

提案: Answer directly and provide clearer, grammatically correct supporting details. Use linking words such as "because" or "however" and give a specific example of what you check (facts, sources). Avoid filler words and incorrect verb forms.

例: I need to read carefully when I encounter political or scientific news because those topics can be complex and impactful. For instance, I check the facts and sources before sharing a political article to make sure the information is accurate.

提案: State your preference clearly, then give a specific reason and one short consequence. Use correct comparative forms and articles ("much easier", "save a lot of time", "other activities"). Use a linking word like "so" or "therefore" to connect ideas.

例: I prefer scanning because it is much quicker and helps me find key information fast, so I can save time for other activities. For example, when I research a topic, I scan headings and summaries to decide which articles are worth reading in detail.

× Yes, I like reading because it benefits me a couple things so I can refreshing my brain and I can know some insight that I have read before and it's just comfortable to spending time alone by reading some books.

✓ Yes, I like reading because it benefits me in a couple of ways: I can refresh my brain, learn insights I have not read before, and it is comfortable to spend time alone reading books.

Errors: 'benefits me a couple things' uses incorrect quantifier and noun form; correct phrase is 'benefits me in a couple of ways'. 'I can refreshing my brain' uses incorrect verb form; after auxiliary 'can' use base form 'refresh'. 'I can know some insight that I have read before' is awkward and tense/meaning unclear; corrected to 'learn insights I have not read before' to convey gaining new ideas. 'it's just comfortable to spending time' uses incorrect verb form after 'to' (infinitive) and unnecessary 'by'; correct is 'comfortable to spend time' or 'comfortable spending time'. Suggestions: use 'a couple of' + plural noun or 'a couple of ways'; after modal verbs use base verb; use infinitive 'to' + base verb; keep parallel structure in lists.

× I prefer to read on the paper because if I read on the screen sometimes my eyes are hurt.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because if I read on a screen sometimes my eyes hurt.

Errors: 'on the paper' incorrectly uses the definite article; general activity uses 'on paper' without an article. 'on the screen' should be 'on a screen' or 'on the screen' depending on context; here 'a screen' is better. 'my eyes are hurt' is incorrect passive/intransitive use; use 'my eyes hurt' (intransitive) or 'my eyes are sore'. Suggestions: omit articles for general media (read on paper); use 'a' for non-specific singular nouns; use correct verb form for body sensations ('eyes hurt' or 'eyes are sore').

× Like a couple days ago I took a long time to reading on my notebook and my eyes were hurt a lot so I took a slept after that directly.

✓ A couple of days ago I spent a long time reading on my laptop and my eyes hurt a lot, so I went to sleep immediately afterward.

Errors: 'Like a couple days ago' needs 'a couple of days ago'. 'I took a long time to reading' mixes structures; use 'spent a long time reading' or 'took a long time to read' — after 'to' use base verb. 'my notebook' likely means 'my laptop' or 'notebook computer' — choose 'laptop' for clarity. 'my eyes were hurt a lot' is unnatural; use 'my eyes hurt a lot'. 'I took a slept' is ungrammatical; correct past tense is 'I went to sleep'. 'after that directly' awkward; use 'immediately afterward'. Suggestions: use 'spent' + time + gerund for duration, use correct past tense verbs, and natural adverb placement.

× I do need to read carefully when I read some politic news or like some scientific news because it's crucial things.

✓ I need to read carefully when I read political or scientific news because they are crucial.

Errors: 'I do need' is emphatic but unnecessary; 'I need' is natural. 'politic news' uses wrong adjective form; use 'political'. 'some scientific news' is okay but redundant; combine as 'political or scientific news'. 'it's crucial things' mixes singular 'it' with plural 'things' and wrong structure; use 'they are crucial' or 'these are important'. Suggestions: use correct adjective forms, ensure subject and verb agree in number, and avoid redundant fillers like 'do' unless emphasizing.

× So whenever I look at that, uh, important news, I took carefully to read the sentence.

✓ So whenever I look at important news, I take care to read the sentences carefully.

Errors: 'I took carefully to read' mixes past tense 'took' with infinitive structure; correct is 'I take care to read' or 'I read carefully'. 'to read the sentence' is singular and ambiguous; plural 'sentences' better. Adverb placement: 'carefully' should modify the verb appropriately. Suggestions: use 'take care to' + base verb for deliberate actions, or use 'read carefully'; keep verb tense consistent with present habitual actions.

× I do prefer scanning because it's a lot of easier for me and saving lot of times so I could use my time for another activities.

✓ I prefer scanning because it is a lot easier for me and saves a lot of time, so I can use my time for other activities.

Errors: 'I do prefer' unnecessary emphasis. 'a lot of easier' is wrong; correct is 'a lot easier' or 'much easier'. 'saving lot of times' incorrect quantifier and form; use 'saves a lot of time'. 'so I could use' should match present ability 'so I can use'. 'another activities' mixes singular 'another' with plural 'activities'; use 'other activities'. Suggestions: use correct comparative forms ('a lot easier' or 'much easier'), use 'saves' for third-person singular ('it saves'), and match determiners with count nouns ('other activities').
