Honestly, I'm a big fan of reading because I have lots of homework to handle so I usually entertain myself using my phone to like surfing the Internet and also chatting with my friends.
考官
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?

I prefer reading on paper because I ensure the tactical experience and this nostalgic smells books. I also find that people less tiring than screens since I merely use my phone for other tasks and screens giving me eye strain.
考官
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
考生
I work carefully when I need to find precise information, for example in the iOS reading test, because the questions demand exact answers, I usually don't read carefully. When I'm reading for pleasure, I tend to skim or just enjoy the story.

Do you like reading?
分數: 55.0建議: Bạn trả lời có ý nhưng thiếu tính trực tiếp và lặp từ, cấu trúc câu không rõ ràng. Cần trả lời trực tiếp vào câu hỏi (Yes/No + brief reason), hạn chế từ lặp như “like”, tránh thông tin mâu thuẫn (nói yêu thích đọc nhưng lại chủ yếu dùng điện thoại). Thêm 1-2 chi tiết cụ thể về thể loại sách hoặc thời gian đọc. Giữ 2-4 câu, dùng từ nối khi cần.
範例: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially contemporary novels and short stories. I usually read for about 30 minutes before bed to relax. Although I use my phone a lot for social media, I make time each day to read physical books because they help me unwind.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
分數: 50.0建議: Câu trả lời có luận điểm nhưng nhiều lỗi từ vựng và ngữ pháp (ví dụ: “tactical” thay vì “tactile”, cấu trúc câu sai). Tránh lỗi nói “people less tiring” — cần nói “less tiring than screens”. Nên nêu một lý do chính rõ ràng và kèm 1-2 chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ: texture, smell, less eye strain). Giữ 2-3 câu ngắn, dùng từ nối như “because” và “also”.
範例: I prefer reading on paper because I like the tactile feeling and the smell of books. It is also less tiring for my eyes than reading on a screen, so I can read longer without strain.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
分數: 60.0建議: Ý tưởng rõ nhưng mâu thuẫn trong câu thứ nhất (nói đọc kỹ cho bài kiểm tra nhưng rồi viết “I usually don't read carefully” gây nhầm). Cần cấu trúc rõ: khi nào đọc kỹ và khi nào không, kèm ví dụ cụ thể. Tránh lỗi tên không chính xác (“iOS reading test” có vẻ sai ngữ cảnh) — dùng “an exam” hoặc “IELTS reading test”. Sử dụng liên từ để liên kết ý.
範例: I read carefully when I need to find precise information, for example during an IELTS reading test, because the questions require exact answers. However, when I read for pleasure, I usually skim or read more casually to enjoy the story.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
分數: 45.0建議: Câu trả lời có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và từ vựng, có tên riêng thừa (“Blake”) và thông tin mâu thuẫn/không rõ. Cần trả lời trực tiếp (I prefer detailed/scanning) và giải thích lý do ngắn gọn, kèm ví dụ cụ thể. Sửa lỗi động từ và số (e.g., “books are giving”→“books give”). Giữ tối đa 3 câu, tránh từ lặp như “like”.
範例: I prefer detailed reading because I enjoy understanding characters and plot development. For example, when I study for the IELTS reading test, I read carefully to understand exact meanings. When I read for pleasure, I still take my time to appreciate the writing.

✓ Honestly, I'm a big fan of reading because I have lots of homework to handle, so I usually entertain myself by using my phone to surf the Internet and chat with my friends.
The original uses 'to like surfing' which mixes 'to' + gerund incorrectly. After 'entertain myself by' the base form or gerund can be used; 'to' should be followed by the base verb (to surf) not 'to surfing'. Also parallel structure requires 'surf' and 'chat' to match. Suggest using 'by using my phone to surf... and chat...' for clarity.
× I prefer reading on paper because I ensure the tactical experience and this nostalgic smells books.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the tactile experience and the nostalgic smell of books.
The student used 'ensure' instead of 'enjoy' and 'tactical' instead of 'tactile'; both are incorrect word choices (adjective/adverb misuse). 'Smells books' is incorrect word order; correct is 'smell of books'. Use 'enjoy the tactile experience and the nostalgic smell of books.'
× I also find that people less tiring than screens since I merely use my phone for other tasks and screens giving me eye strain.
✓ I also find paper less tiring than screens, since I mainly use my phone for other tasks and screens give me eye strain.
'People' is the wrong pronoun; context needs 'paper'. 'Merely' is awkward; 'mainly' fits better. 'Screens giving me eye strain' is a clause missing a finite verb; use 'screens give me eye strain.' This fixes pronoun misuse and verb form.
× I work carefully when I need to find precise information, for example in the iOS reading test, because the questions demand exact answers, I usually don't read carefully.
✓ I work carefully when I need to find precise information, for example in the IELTS reading test, because the questions demand exact answers; otherwise I usually don't read carefully.
Tense is mostly present but the sentence lacked logical connector causing confusion. 'iOS' likely intended 'IELTS'—not a tense error but content correction. Use a semicolon or 'otherwise' to contrast clauses in present tense. Keep simple present for habitual actions.
× When I'm reading for pleasure, I tend to skim or just enjoy the story.
✓ When I'm reading for pleasure, I tend to skim or simply enjoy the story.
Original 'just enjoy' is not grammatically wrong but 'just' is colloquial; suggestion replaces with 'simply' for more natural style. This is a minor -ing/word choice adjustment to improve register.
× I would prefer detail reading Blake.
✓ I would prefer detailed reading, I think.
'Detail reading Blake' is ungrammatical: 'detail' should be adjective 'detailed' and 'Blake' seems extraneous. If student meant to add a filler, use 'I think' or omit. Restructure to 'I would prefer detailed reading.'
× I just like doing this in IELTS reading test if I am reading for like pleasure.
✓ I just like doing this in the IELTS reading test if I am reading for pleasure.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'IELTS reading test'. Also remove filler 'like' before 'pleasure'. Use 'the IELTS reading test' for specificity.
× I just enjoy the story that the book are giving.
✓ I just enjoy the story that the book is giving.
Subject 'the book' is singular, so the verb must be 'is giving' rather than 'are giving'. Alternatively use plural subject 'books are giving' if referring to multiple books.
