Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and use clearer, natural phrases. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid vague or incorrect expressions (e.g., “further my expansion” and “to spend it”). Use linking words like “for example” or “because” correctly.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading a lot. I usually spend my free time reading novels because they help me relax after a long day and improve my vocabulary. For example, I recently finished a mystery novel that kept me engaged and helped me learn new expressions.

提案: Complete the answer and avoid trailing off. Use a clear contrast with linking words (e.g., “however,” “on the other hand”). Give one specific reason for each preference and keep it within 2–4 sentences.

例: I prefer reading on paper because turning physical pages helps me concentrate on the story. However, I sometimes read on a screen for convenience when traveling or at night because e-books are easier to carry and adjust for lighting.

提案: Use clearer vocabulary and structure. Start with a direct statement, then give two contrasted examples using linking words like “if” or “whereas.” Replace awkward phrases (“special professional book,” “just squeeze”) with natural expressions such as “technical or academic books” and “skim through.”

例: It depends on the purpose of the reading. If it’s a technical or academic book, I read it carefully and take notes to fully understand the ideas; whereas if it’s a novel for pleasure, I usually skim through faster and focus on the plot rather than every detail.

提案: Avoid repetition and correct word choice. Give a direct answer followed by a clear contrast with specific terms: “scan” or “read in detail.” Replace incorrect verbs like “scratch” with “skim” or “scan.” Keep responses to 2–3 sentences.

例: I choose between scanning and detailed reading depending on the material. For professional or study texts I read in detail and make notes; for light novels I usually scan or skim to get the main ideas quickly.

× Uh, yes, I like reading a lot and in the free time I usually read some novels to spend it because reading can further my expansion and only to make me calm down after a long.

✓ Uh, yes, I like reading a lot and in my free time I usually read novels to pass the time because reading can broaden my knowledge and help me calm down after a long day.

Multiple present tense and word choice problems: 'in the free time' should be 'in my free time' (preposition/article); 'read some novels to spend it' is incorrect — use 'read novels to pass the time' for natural phrasing; 'further my expansion' is unidiomatic; use 'broaden my knowledge' to express learning; 'only to make me calm down after a long' is incomplete and awkward — add 'help me calm down after a long day'. Suggestions: use natural collocations for activities (pass the time), use 'my' for possession, and complete time expressions like 'after a long day'.

× Uh, to be honest, I prefer to read on papers because every time I touch the pages it can make me think about what the story is and concentrate all my attention on it. But if I read on the screen, I always.

✓ Uh, to be honest, I prefer to read on paper because every time I touch the pages it makes me think about the story and helps me concentrate all my attention on it. But if I read on a screen, I usually don't concentrate as well.

Preposition and noun form errors: use 'on paper' not 'on papers' for the medium. 'It can make me think about what the story is' is wordy—use 'it makes me think about the story'. 'Concentrate all my attention on it' is acceptable but 'helps me concentrate' is more natural. The sentence ends incomplete 'I always.' Complete idea: 'I usually don't concentrate as well.' Suggestions: use singular uncountable form 'paper', simplify clauses, and finish sentences with the intended contrast.

× If the book is of special professional book, I will read it very specifically and in detail.

✓ If the book is a specialized professional book, I will read it very carefully and in detail.

Article and adjective order issue: 'of special professional book' is ungrammatical. Use an article 'a' and correct adjective order: 'a specialized professional book' or 'a special professional book'. 'Read it very specifically' is awkward — use 'very carefully'. Suggestions: include the appropriate article before singular countable nouns and choose natural adjective order and collocations ('read carefully').

× Well. If the book is just for fun, such as some novels, I will read it very fast and just squeeze.

✓ Well, if the book is just for fun, such as a novel, I will read it very quickly and just skim it.

Tense and word choice: 'read it very fast' should be 'read it very quickly' or 'read it quickly' (adverb form). 'Such as some novels' is awkward with 'the book' singular—use 'such as a novel' or make both plural. 'Just squeeze' is incorrect verb choice; the correct verb is 'skim' to indicate quick reading. Suggestions: match singular/plural, use adverbs for manner, and choose the proper verb for the reading action.

× To be honest it depends. Just I have mentioned it depends on the content of the book. If it's a very specific professional books, I will read it very carefully, while if it's a book for fun I will scratch it.

✓ To be honest, it depends. As I mentioned, it depends on the content of the book. If it's a very specific professional book, I will read it very carefully, while if it's a book for fun I will skim it.

Article and number agreement and word choice errors: 'Just I have mentioned it depends' is awkward; use 'As I mentioned'. 'A very specific professional books' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'books' — use 'a ... book'. 'I will scratch it' is incorrect verb choice; 'skim it' is the correct term for quick reading. Suggestions: ensure article and noun number agree, use natural discourse markers ('As I mentioned'), and use appropriate verbs ('skim').
