Reading— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be slightly more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid small errors in titles and names (check spelling/punctuation) and keep to 3–4 sentences maximum.

例: Yes, I love reading — mainly novels and self‑improvement books. For example, I’m currently reading The Daily Habits by James Claire to help improve my mindset and daily routines. Reading for pleasure relaxes me and gives me new ideas to try.

提案: Good clear answer with reasons. To improve, vary vocabulary a bit and tighten sentences: use one linking phrase and avoid repetition of similar ideas. Keep it within 2–3 sentences for Part 1.

例: I prefer reading on paper because it’s easier on my eyes and I don’t get dizzy. Also, paper helps me concentrate for longer periods since it feels calmer and more immersive.

提案: Answer is unclear and unfinished. Begin with a direct topic sentence, give specific examples, and finish the contrast clearly. Avoid fillers like “uh” and incomplete sentences. Limit to 3–4 coherent sentences and use a linking phrase for contrast.

例: I read carefully when the material could have serious consequences, such as legal documents or official school announcements about my son. For casual materials like novels or social media posts, I usually skim instead, because the exact details are less critical.

提案: Good structure and clarity. To improve, make the contrast crisper and use varied linking words. Replace repetitive phrases (prefer... prefer) with synonyms and give a concise example to show understanding.

例: It depends on my purpose: I scan when I only need a specific fact or update, for instance checking an email for a date. By contrast, I read in detail for important documents like contracts or academic articles where accuracy matters.

× Right now I am reading The Daily Habits by James Claire to improve my mindset and daily habits.

✓ Right now I am reading The Daily Habits by James Clear to improve my mindset and daily habits.

The book author's name was misspelled; 'Claire' is incorrect and should be the past-participial-looking proper name 'Clear'. This is a spelling/word choice error rather than grammar; replace with correct proper noun. Ensure accurate names to avoid confusion.

× I particularly enjoy reading novels and self improvement books.

✓ I particularly enjoy reading novels and self-improvement books.

Compound modifier 'self-improvement' needs a hyphen when used before a noun. Without the hyphen, the phrase is less clear and can be misread. Use hyphenation for compound adjectives before nouns.

× When I read on paper, I can concentrate better and focus for longer periods because it is more calming and immersive.

✓ When I read on paper, I can concentrate better and focus for longer periods because it is more calming and immersive.

No grammatical change needed; sentence is correct. Included to show no third-person singular error: verbs match subjects and tense is consistent. No action required.

× I read carefully when the information is very important and I refuse to miss anything because it might affect other people.

✓ I read carefully when the information is very important because I don't want to miss anything that might affect other people.

Original uses 'I refuse to miss anything' which is odd in this context; more natural is 'I don't want to miss anything'. Also combine clauses to improve flow and use 'that' to introduce the clause referring to what might affect others.

× For example, I read carefully when it's a legal document, uh, an announcement from my son's school or the newspaper.

✓ For example, I read carefully when it's a legal document, an announcement from my son's school, or a newspaper article.

List items need parallel structure and consistent articles. 'The newspaper' is vague; 'a newspaper article' is clearer. Also remove filler 'uh' in written answers. Use commas to separate list items.

× On the other hand, I don't read carefully when I read for.

✓ On the other hand, I don't read carefully when I'm reading for pleasure or when the material is informal.

Original sentence is incomplete ('read for' lacks an object). Provide a complete phrase such as 'reading for pleasure' or 'when the material is informal' to complete the idea and keep tense consistent.

× I actually prefer to read on paper instead of the screen because it is less straining to the eyes and I don't feel dizzy afterwards.

✓ I actually prefer to read on paper instead of on the screen because it is less straining on the eyes and I don't feel dizzy afterwards.

Use 'on the screen' for parallel prepositional phrases. Also 'straining to the eyes' is less natural than 'straining on the eyes'. Adjust prepositions for idiomatic English.

× I actually prefer both, depending on the situation or my intent.

✓ I actually prefer both, depending on the situation or my purpose.

'Intent' is acceptable but 'purpose' is more natural here; this is a stylistic suggestion to improve clarity. No strict grammar error, but improving word choice makes the sentence smoother.

× I prefer detailed reading when the reading material is very important for me and it is crucial.

✓ I prefer detailed reading when the material is very important to me or when it is crucial.

The phrase 'important for me' should be 'important to me'. Also 'and it is crucial' is redundant; use 'or when it is crucial' to indicate conditions. Improve parallelism and preposition use.
