I love reading different kinds of books, especially novels. My favorite author is, uh, Robin Sandhu. Apart from it, I also read newspaper magazines related to cooking and all.

Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
考生
I usually prefer to read on paper because it is more advantageous for my eyes. When I try to read on screen, it is OK for some time. However, after a few minutes it start burning my eyes.
考官
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
考生
I think when I'm studying for my exams or my test, that's when I try to be more careful while reading so that I don't miss any topic or any important terms. Umm, Otherwise I'm just a casual reader. I don't care much if I leave for one or two words in the sentence.
考官
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
考生
It usually depends on how much time I have. If I have like one or two days to prepare for my exams or test, then I like to read carefully and thoroughly. But if I have, uh, like just a few hours and umm, a lot of sleepers, then I prefer skimming and screening.
Do you like reading?
分數: 78.0建議: Be more concise and avoid fillers (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Replace vague phrases like "and all" with precise information (e.g., types of cooking articles).
範例: Yes, I love reading, particularly novels. For example, my favorite author is Robin Sandhu, whose character-driven stories I enjoy. I also read cooking magazines to learn new recipes and techniques.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
分數: 80.0建議: Improve grammar and coherence: correct verb forms and reduce repetition. Use linking words to contrast reasons (e.g., "because", "however"). Provide a concise explanation with one supporting detail.
範例: I prefer reading on paper because it is gentler on my eyes. For instance, reading on screens often makes my eyes feel tired and irritated after a short time, so paper is more comfortable for long sessions.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
分數: 76.0建議: Avoid fillers (I think, umm) and make the contrast clearer with linking words ("when... but when..."). Be specific about what careful reading involves and give an example of what you skip when casual reading.
範例: When I'm preparing for exams, I read carefully to understand key concepts and note important terms. But when I'm reading for pleasure, I skim casually and don't mind missing small details, such as minor adjectives or examples.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
分數: 73.0建議: Reduce hesitation words and correct unclear vocabulary ("a lot of sleepers" is unclear). Use linking words to explain conditions and give a concise, specific reason for choosing each method. Replace informal phrasing with precise terms (e.g., "many topics to cover").
範例: It depends on time: if I have a day or two for revision, I read in detail to fully understand topics. However, if I only have a few hours and many topics to cover, I skim to capture main ideas quickly.
× However, after a few minutes it start burning my eyes.
✓ However, after a few minutes it starts burning my eyes.
The subject 'it' requires a verb in the third person singular present form. This is a subject-verb agreement issue that is fixed by adding the third person singular -s to 'start'. Use 'starts' to match the singular subject in present tense.
× Apart from it, I also read newspaper magazines related to cooking and all.
✓ Apart from that, I also read newspapers and magazines related to cooking.
The phrase 'newspaper magazines' is unclear and mixes singular/plural forms. Use plural 'newspapers' and 'magazines' to indicate more than one, and replace 'it' with 'that' for reference clarity. Remove 'and all' which is informal and vague.
× I think when I'm studying for my exams or my test, that's when I try to be more careful while reading so that I don't miss any topic or any important terms.
✓ I think when I'm studying for my exams or tests, that's when I try to be more careful while reading so that I don't miss any topic or any important terms.
Using both 'exams' and 'my test' is redundant and inconsistent in number. Replace 'my test' with the plural 'tests' (or remove one) to keep number consistency. This improves clarity and matches the present continuous context.
× I don't care much if I leave for one or two words in the sentence.
✓ I don't care much if I leave out one or two words in a sentence.
The verb phrase should be 'leave out' not 'leave for'. Also 'the sentence' is too specific; use 'a sentence' for general statements. Correct preposition and article use improve meaning.
× But if I have, uh, like just a few hours and umm, a lot of sleepers, then I prefer skimming and screening.
✓ But if I have just a few hours and a lot to cover, then I prefer skimming and scanning.
'A lot of sleepers' is incorrect and unclear. Likely intended 'a lot to cover' or 'a lot to read'. Also 'screening' is wrong in this reading context; use 'scanning'. Replace filler words and wrong adjective phrases to convey the intended meaning.
