Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
수험생
I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy touching the pages. It feel more immersive and helps me concentrate. Also reading on screens is often distracting because of the notifications and the blue light, so I focus better with a physical book.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

I prefer scanning because I often just need the main idea or key fact rather than understanding every single word. Scanning is much faster than in Dave's reading, for example when I'm looking for specific information in the article or checking emails quickly.
Do you like reading?
점수: 68.0제안: Focus on clarity, correct word choice and concise sentences. Begin with a clear topic sentence (e.g., state whether you like reading), correct vocabulary errors (e.g., "laser reading" → "leisure reading"; "vocabularies" → "vocabulary"; "keeps me info" → "keeps me informed"), and avoid repetition (remove duplicate phrases like "preparing while I'm preparing"). Use one or two supporting details and a linking word. Keep answers under five sentences.

× Frankly, I'm not a big fan of laser reading, although I read a lot preparing while I'm preparing for my exams.
✓ Frankly, I'm not a big fan of leisure reading, although I read a lot while I'm preparing for my exams.
The student likely meant 'leisure reading' not 'laser reading' (word choice) and 'preparing while I'm preparing' is redundant. Replace with 'while I'm preparing for my exams.' Also 'a the habit' later will be handled separately.
× Nowadays I try to develop a the habit of reading English news every morning, such as articles on the BBC because it helps me improve my vocabularies and keeps me info about current.
✓ Nowadays I try to develop the habit of reading English news every morning, such as articles on the BBC, because it helps me improve my vocabulary and keeps me informed about current affairs.
Remove the extra article 'a' before 'the habit' (article error). 'Vocabularies' is uncountable here; use 'vocabulary' (singular/uncountable). 'Keeps me info about current' is incorrect; use 'keeps me informed about current affairs' and add a comma before 'because.'
× I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy touching the pages. It feel more immersive and helps me concentrate.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy touching the pages. It feels more immersive and helps me concentrate.
Subject-verb agreement error: 'It' requires the third-person singular verb 'feels' (add 's'). This fixes the sentence structure and agreement.
× Also reading on screens is often distracting because of the notifications and the blue light, so I focus better with a physical book.
✓ Also, reading on screens is often distracting because of notifications and blue light, so I focus better with a physical book.
Remove unnecessary definite articles before general nouns ('the notifications', 'the blue light') and add a comma after 'Also'. The preposition 'with' is acceptable but 'when using' could be an alternative; simplified version removes incorrect article use.
× When I'm taking an exam, I need to concentrate on every question and option carefully to like avoid mistakes and misinterpretation.
✓ When I'm taking an exam, I need to concentrate on every question and option carefully to avoid mistakes and misinterpretation.
Colloquial filler 'like' is inappropriate in formal speech and creates a structure error; remove it. 'Misinterpretation' is fine but 'misinterpretations' could be used; original corrected keeps singular as general concept.
× However, in my free time, I usually skim books or articles to get main ideas and read quickly for enjoyment rather than for specific details.
✓ However, in my free time, I usually skim books or articles to get main ideas and read quickly for enjoyment rather than for specific details.
This sentence is grammatical; no tense change required. Provided as confirmation that present simple 'usually skim' is appropriate for habitual actions.
× I prefer scanning because I often just need the main idea or key fact rather than understanding every single word.
✓ I prefer scanning because I often just need the main idea or key facts rather than to understand every single word.
Change 'key fact' to plural 'key facts' to match 'main idea or key facts' and adjust 'rather than understanding' to 'rather than to understand' to parallel the infinitive structure; this improves sentence parallelism and clarity.
× Scanning is much faster than in Dave's reading, for example when I'm looking for specific information in the article or checking emails quickly.
✓ Scanning is much faster than in detailed reading; for example, when I'm looking for specific information in an article or checking emails quickly.
'Dave's reading' seems to be a typo for 'detailed reading' or 'deep reading.' Replace with 'detailed reading.' Also add a semicolon or period and a comma after 'for example' and change 'the article' to 'an article' for general reference. This corrects sentence structure and word choice.
