Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and use a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid filler phrases like "you know" and redundancies. Also correct grammar (tense and articles) and keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially science fiction. However, I'm studying for an exam at the moment, so I have less time to read. When I do find free time, I prefer immersive novels that help me relax.

提案: Start with a direct preference sentence, use correct verb forms, and give two concise, specific reasons linked with connecting words (e.g., "because", "however"). Remove fillers like "you know."

例: I prefer reading on a screen now because it is very portable and lets me download many books. However, I used to choose paper since it is easier on my eyes for long sessions.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence for each situation and use correct grammar (verb forms, adverbs, pronouns). Use linking words (e.g., "because", "whereas") and specific examples of what careful reading involves. Avoid repetition and incorrect phrases like "scan him."

例: I need to read carefully during exams or when studying technical material because a small mistake can change the meaning. In contrast, when I read for pleasure I usually skim to get the main idea quickly.

提案: Answer directly with your general preference, then give one or two linked reasons with correct grammar. Replace vague phrases with specific comparisons and avoid repetition of previous points. Keep it within three sentences.

例: It depends, but I generally prefer detailed reading for exams or study because it reduces the risk of misunderstanding. For leisure reading, I often scan to enjoy many books quickly and save time.

× Well it really depends if I have enough time or energy.

✓ Well, it really depends on whether I have enough time or energy.

Use present tense 'depends' is fine but need correct preposition and conjunction: 'depends on whether' is the standard collocation. Also add a comma after 'Well' for clarity.

× I would definitely read some books such as sci-fi, but currently I've been preparing for my exam so I don't have much more time to do that because you know, reading is time consuming.

✓ I definitely read books such as sci-fi, but currently I've been preparing for my exam so I don't have much time to do that, because reading is time-consuming.

Use simple present 'I definitely read' or 'I would definitely read' depends on nuance; here 'I definitely read' is more natural for habits. 'Much more time' is redundant with 'more'; use 'much time'. 'Time-consuming' should be hyphenated when used as adjective. Remove filler 'you know' for formality.

× I used to read on paper because I think it's friendly to my eyes, but I'd prefer read on the screen now because you know it's portable and you can download thousands of books that you like and bring the iPad with you.

✓ I used to read on paper because I think it's easier on my eyes, but I'd prefer to read on a screen now because it's portable, you can download thousands of books, and you can bring an iPad with you.

Use 'prefer to do' + verb: 'prefer to read'. 'Friendly to my eyes' is unnatural; use 'easier on my eyes'. Add articles 'a screen' and 'an iPad'. Use commas to separate items and remove filler 'you know'.

× If I'm participate exam, I had to read really really careful because if I'm scanning maybe little misinterpretation of the words.

✓ If I'm taking an exam, I have to read very carefully because if I scan I might misinterpret some words.

Verb forms: use 'taking an exam' (verb + -ing) instead of 'participate exam'. Tense consistency: present simple 'I have to' for general requirement. Adverb form 'carefully' not 'careful'. Use 'scan' for present, and 'might misinterpret' to express possibility. Add 'some' before 'words'.

× But if I just read for fun I can scan him for the book because I can get the gist quickly.

✓ But if I just read for fun I can scan the book because I can get the gist quickly.

Incorrect pronoun 'him' used for 'book' (inanimate); use 'the book'. Remove unnecessary preposition 'for' after 'scan'.

× Like I just mentioned above, if you are in an exam you have to detail reading because scanning maybe let you misunderstand of the words.

✓ As I mentioned above, if you are in an exam you have to read in detail because scanning may cause you to misunderstand words.

Use 'read in detail' or 'do detailed reading' instead of 'detail reading'. 'Maybe let you' is incorrect; use 'may cause you to' or 'may make you' and no 'of' after 'misunderstand'. Also 'As I mentioned' is more natural than 'Like I just mentioned'.

× But sometimes we just read for fun or relax yourself. You can scanning because detail reading is time.

✓ But sometimes we just read for fun or to relax. You can scan because detailed reading takes time.

Parallel structure: use 'read for fun or to relax' not 'relax yourself'. 'You can scanning' is wrong; use base verb 'scan'. 'Detail reading is time' is ungrammatical; use 'detailed reading takes time' to show it requires time.
