Part 1

Examiner

Do you like reading?

Candidate

Yes, I like reading, especially no romance, mystery, and adventurous novels. I like reading because they boost my imagination by improving my vocabulary and sentence structure. For example, the detailed description in Harry Potter allows me to visualize the castle and learn some adjective at the same time.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I prefer reading on screen because a single app allows me to carry thousands of titles, which is far more convenient when I travel. Besides, the reading app allowed me allows me to customise the font size and background colour which makes my reading experience more enjoyable.

Examiner

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

Candidate

As a teacher, I read my students essays in detail because I need to assess their grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. However, I don't read short messages and informal notes carefully unless they contend important instructions.

Examiner

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Candidate

Generally, I prefer scanning because they allows me to get the important information quickly. However, I don't think we should scan on uh important documents such as uh agreements and formal letter because they contend crucial informations.

Part 1

Do you like reading?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be careful with grammar and word choice, and make your answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct article and noun usage (e.g., "novels" categories), fix negatives like "no romance" to "not romance", and use plural/singular consistently. Use one linking phrase to add the example and avoid repetition (e.g., "For example,"). Also correct vocabulary forms ("adjectives").

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially mystery and adventure novels rather than romance. I find that these books boost my imagination and help improve my vocabulary and sentence structure. For example, the detailed descriptions in Harry Potter let me visualize the castle and learn new adjectives.

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

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Clarify tense and remove repeated words. Use linking words smoothly (e.g., "also" or "furthermore") and correct verb forms ("allows" not "allowed me allows me"). Keep it within 3–4 sentences and add a brief comparison to paper reading to enrich content.

Example: I prefer reading on a screen because an app lets me carry thousands of books, which is much more convenient when I travel. Also, I can customize the font size and background color, which makes reading more comfortable. However, I still like paper books for long novels because they feel more tactile.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar mistakes and word choice (e.g., "students' essays", "contain" not "contend"). Use a clear topic sentence and one linking word to contrast the two situations. Be specific about examples of informal messages and what counts as important instructions.

Example: As a teacher, I read my students' essays carefully because I need to assess their grammar, vocabulary, and structure. In contrast, I skim short messages or informal notes unless they contain important instructions, such as meeting times or deadlines.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Fix pronoun and agreement errors ("it allows" not "they allows"). Remove filler words like "uh" and correct word forms ("contain" and "information"). Use one linking phrase to contrast the typical preference with exceptions, and give a precise example of when detailed reading is necessary.

Example: Generally, I prefer scanning because it allows me to find important information quickly. However, I would read carefully when dealing with important documents, such as contracts or formal letters, because they contain crucial information.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I like reading, especially no romance, mystery, and adventurous novels.

Yes, I like reading, especially romance, mystery, and adventure novels.

The phrase 'no romance, mystery, and adventurous novels' uses 'no' incorrectly and 'adventurous' is the adjective form where the noun 'adventure' is needed to parallel 'romance' and 'mystery'. Replace 'no' with nothing or 'especially' alone, and use the noun 'adventure' to list genres consistently. Suggestion: List genres as nouns (romance, mystery, adventure).

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× For example, the detailed description in Harry Potter allows me to visualize the castle and learn some adjective at the same time.

For example, the detailed descriptions in Harry Potter allow me to visualize the castle and learn some adjectives at the same time.

'Description' should be plural to match 'some adjectives' and subject-verb agreement: plural subject 'descriptions' requires 'allow'. Also 'some adjective' is singular; use the plural noun 'adjectives' when referring to multiple words. Suggestion: Ensure noun number matches quantifiers and verbs (plural nouns with plural verbs).

Third person singular issue

× Besides, the reading app allowed me allows me to customise the font size and background colour which makes my reading experience more enjoyable.

Besides, the reading app allows me to customise the font size and background colour, which makes my reading experience more enjoyable.

The sentence contained a duplicated verb phrase 'allowed me allows me'. The correct present-tense verb for third person singular 'the reading app' is 'allows'. Also add a comma before the non-restrictive relative clause 'which makes...'. Suggestion: Use a single correct verb form and punctuate relative clauses appropriately.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× As a teacher, I read my students essays in detail because I need to assess their grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure.

As a teacher, I read my students' essays in detail because I need to assess their grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure.

Possession is missing: 'students essays' should be 'students'' (plural possessive) to show the essays belong to the students. Add the apostrophe after the plural noun 'students'. Suggestion: Use possessive apostrophes for nouns that own something (students' essays).

Incorrect use of pronouns

× However, I don't read short messages and informal notes carefully unless they contend important instructions.

However, I don't read short messages and informal notes carefully unless they contain important instructions.

The verb 'contend' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'contain' meaning 'to hold or include'. Use 'contain' with plural subject 'they'. Suggestion: Choose the verb that correctly matches the intended meaning (contain = hold).

Third person singular issue

× Generally, I prefer scanning because they allows me to get the important information quickly.

Generally, I prefer scanning because it allows me to get the important information quickly.

Pronoun-antecedent agreement error: 'scanning' is a singular gerund requiring singular pronoun 'it' and third person singular verb 'allows'. 'They allows' mixes plural pronoun with singular verb. Suggestion: Use 'it allows' for singular activities (scanning) and ensure verb matches pronoun number.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× However, I don't think we should scan on uh important documents such as uh agreements and formal letter because they contend crucial informations.

However, I don't think we should scan important documents such as agreements and formal letters because they contain crucial information.

Multiple issues corrected while following allowed problem types: remove inappropriate preposition 'on' after 'scan' (scan documents, not scan on documents), remove filler 'uh', change 'formal letter' to plural 'formal letters' to match 'agreements', correct 'contend' to 'contain', and use uncountable noun 'information' (not 'informations'). Suggestion: Use 'scan' directly with the object (scan documents), match number between items, use 'contain' for holding content, and treat 'information' as uncountable.
