Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

I prefer to read on a paper mainly because it doesn't strain my eyes. Reading on a screen makes my eyes painful, so I prefer reading in a paper so it can give me joy as well as I can keep that paper or books as a form of decoration.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Thí sinh
The time when you need to read carefully is when you are signing on paper about something important like terms and conditions on a loan paper. You have to read it carefully because there are points which you don't have to miss or may cause any kind of problems in the future.
Do you like reading?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and use linking words (e.g., however, because) to show contrast between academic and fictional reading. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "non-fiction" instead of listing genres) and correct small grammar issues (e.g., plural forms and article use).
Ví dụ: I don't enjoy most leisure reading; however, I prefer academic and scientific books because they explain experiments and practical solutions. For example, I recently read a popular science book about renewable energy that helped me understand real-world applications.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give one clear reason and a brief additional detail. Avoid repeating phrases and fix article use ("on paper" not "in a paper"). Use linking words like "because" and "also" to connect ideas. Add a short example to make it specific.
Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because it is gentler on my eyes and more enjoyable. For instance, when I read a printed book at night I can relax without screen glare, and I often keep attractive books on my shelf as decoration.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Điểm: 74.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific examples with reasons. Use linking words (e.g., "for example," "because") and correct phrasing ("loan documents" or "contracts" instead of "loan paper"). Avoid vague phrasing like "any kind of problems."
Ví dụ: You need to read carefully when signing legal documents, such as loan agreements or contracts, because missing a clause could lead to financial consequences. For example, when I signed a rental contract, I checked the payment and maintenance clauses to avoid unexpected fees.
× No, I don't like to read any kind of books, but I love reading academic books where they teach about any type of scientific solution, experiments, etcetera.
✓ No, I don't like to read most kinds of books, but I love reading academic books that teach about scientific methods and experiments.
The original has awkward phrasing: 'any kind of books' should be 'most kinds of books' or 'many kinds of books'; 'where they teach' is not the correct relative clause for 'books' — use 'that teach'; 'any type of scientific solution, experiments' is unclear and unidiomatic — 'scientific methods and experiments' is more natural. Also keep verb + -ing 'reading' is fine here but surrounding phrasing needed correction to be idiomatic and precise. Suggestion: Use clear noun phrases and correct relative clauses; replace vague 'any type of' with specific terms.
× But I don't like to read about fictional books, novels, autobiography, which is like hard for me to do.
✓ But I don't like reading fiction, such as novels or autobiographies, which I find difficult to do.
Listing 'fictional books, novels, autobiography' is redundant and uses wrong forms: 'fiction' or 'fictional books' not both; 'autobiography' should be plural or 'autobiographies' or use 'autobiography' with an article. The relative clause 'which is like hard for me to do' is informal and ungrammatical — use 'which I find difficult to do.' Suggestion: Use consistent noun forms and remove filler 'like'.
× I prefer to read on a paper mainly because it doesn't strain my eyes.
✓ I prefer to read on paper mainly because it doesn't strain my eyes.
Use 'on paper' (no article) for the medium in general. 'On a paper' suggests a single sheet. Suggestion: Omit the article when talking about reading medium in general.
× Reading on a screen makes my eyes painful, so I prefer reading in a paper so it can give me joy as well as I can keep that paper or books as a form of decoration.
✓ Reading on a screen makes my eyes hurt, so I prefer reading on paper because it gives me pleasure and I can keep the paper or books as decoration.
'Makes my eyes painful' is incorrect — use 'makes my eyes hurt' or 'strains my eyes.' 'Prefer reading in a paper' is wrong preposition and article; use 'on paper.' 'So it can give me joy as well as I can keep that paper or books' is awkward; use 'because it gives me pleasure and I can keep the paper or books as decoration.' Suggestion: Use correct verb phrases for sensations ('hurt', 'strain') and maintain consistent prepositions.
× The time when you need to read carefully is when you are signing on paper about something important like terms and conditions on a loan paper.
✓ You need to read carefully when you are signing important documents, such as the terms and conditions of a loan.
'Signing on paper about something' is awkward; use 'signing important documents.' 'Terms and conditions on a loan paper' is incorrect preposition and article use — use 'terms and conditions of a loan.' Suggestion: Use 'signing' with the object 'documents' and correct prepositions ('of').
× You have to read it carefully because there are points which you don't have to miss or may cause any kind of problems in the future.
✓ You have to read it carefully because there are points you must not miss, which could cause problems in the future.
'You don't have to miss' is the opposite of intended meaning; should be 'must not miss' or 'should not miss.' 'Which you don't have to miss or may cause any kind of problems' mixes clauses incorrectly. Also 'any kind of problems' is awkward — use 'problems.' Suggestion: Use correct modal verbs to express obligation/necessity and simplify relative clauses.
