Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (like), and use plural/singular forms correctly. Add one specific example to make your point stronger and use linking words for cohesion.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading because it expands my vocabulary and improves my reading speed. For example, reading news articles every morning has helped me learn new words and read faster. In addition, it often sparks new ideas for my studies.

Suggestion: Give a direct choice first, then support with clear reasons using linking words. Reduce hesitations and repetition, use correct verb forms and articles, and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: It depends on the situation; at home I prefer paper books because they are more comfortable to read and help me focus. However, when I travel I use my phone to read ebooks because they are convenient and lightweight. For these reasons, I switch between both formats.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence that contrasts the two situations. Remove filler words and correct grammar (e.g., 'I don't give much attention to them'). Provide specific examples of tasks that require careful reading and explain why, using linking words.

Example: I need to read carefully when studying academic texts because I must understand concepts and remember details for exams. For example, when reading a textbook chapter I take notes and highlight key points. In contrast, I usually skim novels or newspapers for enjoyment or general information, so I don't focus on every detail.

× 'Yes, I do like reading because like it increase my vocabulary skill, it increase my reading speed and as well as it increase my ideas.'

✓ 'Yes, I do like reading because it increases my vocabulary, it increases my reading speed, and it also increases my ideas.'

'The subject "it" (referring to reading) is singular, so the verb must be in the third-person singular form "increases." Also, "vocabulary skill" is unnatural; "vocabulary" or "vocabulary skills" is better. "As well as it increase my ideas" is awkward; use "also increases my ideas" or "helps me generate ideas." Suggestion: ensure the verb agrees with the singular subject and use natural noun collocations.'

× 'It's totally depend on time, uh, when I was at home, uh, I prefer to read, uh, from book.'

✓ 'It totally depends on the time. When I am at home, I prefer to read from a book.'

'"It's totally depend" mixes a contraction and base verb; use "depends" for present simple. "When I was at home" shifts to past; the context of a general preference requires present simple "when I am at home." Use the article "a book" for a single nonspecific countable noun. Suggestion: use consistent present tense for habitual actions and correct third-person singular verb form.'

× 'Uh, or I, or I travel sometimes, like uh, during public transportation, uh, I use my phone to read.'

✓ 'When I travel sometimes on public transportation, I use my phone to read.'

'The original sentence is fragmented and contains unnecessary repetition. "During public transportation" is incorrect; use "on public transportation." Maintain subject-verb structure: "I use my phone." Suggestion: combine clauses into a clear sentence and use the correct preposition for transportation.'

× 'Like, uh, I use screen, uh, ebooks to read.'

✓ 'I use e-books on my screen to read.'

'"Use screen ebooks" has incorrect word order and missing preposition. Typically say "e-books" or "ebooks" and place them on/through a screen or read e-books on my device. Suggestion: order the words naturally (object before location) and include the preposition "on."

× 'Like when I read my academic books, uh, like I am more focused and more curious, like to read, uh, and to remember things, but like I just read storybooks or some novels or newspaper.'

✓ 'When I read my academic books, I am more focused and more curious to read and to remember things, but when I just read storybooks, novels, or newspapers, I am less focused.'

'"I am more focused and more curious, like to read" is awkward; use "more curious to read" or "more curious about reading." Also maintain parallel structure and consistent tense. Use plural "newspapers" if speaking generally. Suggestion: keep clauses parallel and use clear contrast words like "but when... I am less focused."

× 'Like I don't like give more attention to that.'

✓ 'I don't like to give much attention to them.'

'"Don't like give" is missing the infinitive marker "to" after "like." "More attention" is grammatical but "much attention" is more natural here. Also "that" refers to plural items (storybooks, novels, newspapers), so use "them." Suggestion: use "like to + verb," choose appropriate quantifier (much), and match pronoun number to the referenced nouns.'
