Do you like reading?
Candidato
Definitely yes, but not a huge amount of books I would say. I really love to read some fiction books that helps me in a determination and I believe that helps in my cognitive skills as well.
Examinador
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidato
I prefer reading on papers because that doesn't affect my eyes as when I read through the screen it really effects my eyes and then I feel a lot of struggle lately.
Examinador
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidato
It depends on what I'm reading. So if I'm reading something more interesting and captivating, I really go through each and every line very carefully with all my determination. But if I'm not really interested into it, then I would say just reading for a time pass I say.
Examinador
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidato
Again, it depends on the material. If I have more captivating, then definitely I would prefer a detailed reading, scanning each and every line, what is actually written there and what it does mean. But when it's not really important, then I prefer scanning.
Do you like reading?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Make the response more natural and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (verb forms and articles), avoid vague phrases like "a determination," and give one specific example of a favorite book or genre. Keep it concise (2–3 sentences) and use linking words if adding a reason.
Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially fiction. For example, I like psychological thrillers such as The Girl on the Train because they keep me engaged and help improve my concentration and critical thinking.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Make the reply grammatically correct and more concise: use singular/plural correctly ("on paper"), refine word choice ("affect" vs "effects"), and give one brief reason or example. Use a linking phrase to contrast options.
Exemplo: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because paper is easier on my eyes. When I read on devices for a long time, I get eye strain and headaches.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Pontuação: 66.0Sugestão: Be more natural and precise: give a clear topic sentence, avoid awkward phrases ("with all my determination," "time pass"), and provide a concrete example of material that requires careful reading versus scanning. Use a linking word like "however" to show contrast.
Exemplo: It depends on the purpose. For instance, I read textbooks or work emails very carefully to understand details; however, I only skim news articles or light blog posts when I’m just browsing.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Clarify and tighten the answer: correct grammar and awkward phrasing ("what it does mean"), use linking words ("if...then"), and give a specific example of when you would choose detailed reading versus scanning.
Exemplo: I usually choose detailed reading for study materials or complex articles because I need to understand every point. Conversely, I scan emails or simple news items when I only need the main idea.
× Definitely yes, but not a huge amount of books I would say.
✓ Definitely yes, but not a huge number of books, I would say.
The phrase 'amount of books' is incorrect because 'books' is countable; use 'number of books'. Also add a comma before 'I would say' for clarity.
× I really love to read some fiction books that helps me in a determination and I believe that helps in my cognitive skills as well.
✓ I really love to read fiction books that help me with determination, and I believe that also helps my cognitive skills.
The relative clause uses 'helps' but its subject 'books' is plural, so use 'help' (present simple plural). 'in a determination' is incorrect phrasing; use 'with determination'. 'helps in my cognitive skills' should be 'helps my cognitive skills' or 'improves my cognitive skills'. Adjust word order and remove unnecessary 'some'.
× I prefer reading on papers because that doesn't affect my eyes as when I read through the screen it really effects my eyes and then I feel a lot of struggle lately.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because it doesn't affect my eyes as much; when I read on a screen it really affects my eyes and I have been struggling a lot lately.
Use 'reading on paper' (uncountable) rather than 'on papers'. 'That' is awkward; use 'it'. 'as when I read through the screen' should be 'when I read on a screen'. 'effects' is incorrect verb form; use 'affects'. 'I feel a lot of struggle lately' is unnatural; use 'I have been struggling a lot lately' (present perfect continuous for recent ongoing experience).
× So if I'm reading something more interesting and captivating, I really go through each and every line very carefully with all my determination.
✓ So if I'm reading something more interesting and captivating, I really go through every line very carefully and with full determination.
'Each and every line' is wordy; 'every line' is natural. 'with all my determination' is awkward; use 'with full determination'. Also ensure parallel and concise phrasing.
× But if I'm not really interested into it, then I would say just reading for a time pass I say.
✓ But if I'm not really interested in it, then I would say I'm just reading to pass the time.
Use 'interested in' not 'interested into'. 'reading for a time pass' is nonstandard; use 'reading to pass the time'. Remove redundant 'I say' or keep one instance at end if stylistic.
× If I have more captivating, then definitely I would prefer a detailed reading, scanning each and every line, what is actually written there and what it does mean.
✓ If the material is more captivating, then I would definitely prefer detailed reading, scanning every line to see what is written there and what it means.
'If I have more captivating' is ungrammatical; use 'If the material is more captivating'. 'scanning each and every line, what is actually written there and what it does mean' is awkward—use an infinitive purpose clause 'to see what is written there and what it means'. Remove 'does' which is unnecessary in affirmative clause.
