Do you like reading?
分数: 68.0建议: Make the response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g., subject-verb agreement), avoid odd phrases like “no one can resist the training,” and add one specific supporting detail. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

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

× Yes, I do, I guess no one can resist the training for reading a book.
✓ Yes, I do. I guess no one can resist the temptation to read a book.
The original uses 'training for reading a book', which is unnatural. 'Temptation to read' is the correct idiom. This is an issue of word choice and verb pattern rather than a specific grammar rule from the list, but it most closely fits incorrect use of verbs/expressions. Suggestion: use collocations such as 'temptation to read' and separate clauses with a period rather than a comma.
× I enjoy reading because it helps me relax and learns new ideas at the same time.
✓ I enjoy reading because it helps me relax and learn new ideas at the same time.
The sentence mixes singular verb 'learns' with plural subject implied by the infinitive structure. After 'helps me', verbs that follow should be in base form ('learn'). This is a present tense/verb form error. Suggestion: use parallel infinitive/base forms after 'helps me' (helps me relax and learn).
× For example, I usually read business books and articles related to technology.
✓ For example, I usually read business books and articles related to technology.
This sentence is correct; no grammatical change needed. Included to show no error for plural usage. Explanation: 'books and articles' correctly uses plural nouns to match 'read'. No improvement necessary.
× I would say I prefer reading on screen.
✓ I would say I prefer reading on a screen.
Add the article 'a' before 'screen' because 'screen' is a countable noun here. This is a present tense/noun usage issue close to article error (22), but listed as present tense issue because of the phrasing. Suggestion: include appropriate articles with singular countable nouns.
× The main reason is that it's more convenient, especially when I'm travel or commuting.
✓ The main reason is that it's more convenient, especially when I'm traveling or commuting.
The verb 'travel' must be in -ing form 'traveling' after 'when I'm' (present continuous). This is an incorrect use of verb form/preposition context. Suggestion: use present participle after 'I'm' (I'm traveling).
× For example, I can easily read article on my phone or tap it.
✓ For example, I can easily read an article on my phone or tap on it.
'Article' is a singular countable noun and requires the article 'an'. Also 'tap it' is awkward; 'tap on it' is more natural when referring to tapping the screen. This is an article and preposition usage error. Suggestion: include 'an' and use 'tap on' for interacting with screens.
× Well, I usually read carefully when the information is important, such as academic articles or what related report.
✓ Well, I usually read carefully when the information is important, such as academic articles or related reports.
'What related report' is ungrammatical. Use 'related reports' to match 'academic articles' and for parallel structure. Also 'the information is important' is acceptable. This is an incorrect sentence structure and article/word choice issue. Suggestion: use parallel plural nouns and remove 'what'.
× However, when I am reading for entertainment, I tend to read more quickly and focus on the journal idea.
✓ However, when I am reading for entertainment, I tend to read more quickly and focus on the general idea.
'Journal idea' is unclear; likely intended 'general idea'. 'General idea' fits common collocation. This is incorrect use of nouns/adjectives. Suggestion: choose appropriate collocations like 'general idea'.
× Well, it's quite depends on the purpose of reading.
✓ Well, it quite depends on the purpose of reading.
With 'it' as dummy subject, the correct structure is 'it depends' or 'it quite depends' (though 'it depends quite a bit on...' is more natural). The original 'it's quite depends' wrongly combines contraction 'it's' (it is) with the verb 'depends'. This is a subject-verb structure error. Suggestion: use 'it depends' or 'it quite depends' or better: 'it depends on the purpose of reading.' More natural: 'it really depends on the purpose of reading.'
× If I want to get a general ideas, I prefer skimming.
✓ If I want to get a general idea, I prefer skimming.
'A general ideas' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'ideas'. Use singular 'idea' with 'a'. This is a singular/plural issue. Suggestion: ensure article and noun number agree.
× However, when I am studying and analyzing important information, I prefer detailed reading.
✓ However, when I am studying and analyzing important information, I prefer detailed reading.
This sentence is grammatically correct. Explanation: Present continuous 'am studying and analyzing' and 'prefer detailed reading' are appropriate. No change required.
