Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and concise supporting details. Start by stating simply whether you like reading, then give a brief reason and an example. Avoid filler words and unclear phrases.

Example: Yes, I do enjoy reading. I used to dislike it, but recently I’ve started reading personal development books, and they motivate me to improve my habits. For example, a book about time management helped me structure my daily routine.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear preference sentence, then give two concise reasons linked logically. Fix grammar (articles, verb forms) and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'because' and 'however' to connect ideas.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because holding a book helps me concentrate and connect with the text. Also, I find it easier to visualise the content on paper, whereas reading digitally often distracts me.

Suggestion: Answer with a clear topic sentence naming situations that require careful reading, then give a specific contrasting situation that does not. Correct grammar and use linking words like 'because' and 'whereas'. Provide one concrete example of careful reading.

Example: I need to read carefully when I study for exams because I must understand key concepts and remember details. For instance, when preparing for a biology test I read slowly and take notes, whereas I skim news articles when I only want the main idea.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly, then give two concise reasons using linking words such as 'because' and 'while'. Improve grammar (noun forms, articles) and be more specific about the benefits of detailed reading.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand the main ideas and remember important facts. For example, when I read a research article carefully I can summarise the key findings and explain them to others, while scanning only gives me an overview.

× MMM anyone? Part of my time of my life that no one enjoy reading.

✓ Mm, no — it's part of my life that no one enjoyed reading.

Original has unclear structure and wrong verb form. 'Part of my time of my life' is awkward; use 'part of my life'. The clause needs a past-tense verb 'enjoyed' if referring to a past habit. Suggested: 'Mm, no — it's part of my life that no one enjoyed reading.' For present meaning, use 'doesn't enjoy' (subject-verb agreement). Improve by simplifying the phrase and matching tense to meaning.

× Before I didn't like it but now I choose books that they are related to personal development and I quite like that topic so that's why now I enjoy reading the books.

✓ Before, I didn't like it, but now I choose books related to personal development and I quite like that topic, so now I enjoy reading books.

Multiple issues: unnecessary pronoun 'they', wrong article 'the books', and word order. Use past tense 'didn't like' for past dislike (already correct). Remove 'they are' and use 'books related to' (adjective clause without pronoun). Remove 'the' before 'books' when speaking generally. Add commas for clarity.

× I do prefer read in paper.

✓ I do prefer reading on paper.

After 'prefer' use the gerund 'reading' (verb + -ing) or 'to read'. Also use preposition 'on paper' (not 'in paper'). 'Do' is optional for emphasis: 'I prefer reading on paper.'

× I enjoy more when I have the book in my hands.

✓ I enjoy it more when I have the book in my hands.

Word order: place 'enjoy it more' or 'I enjoy having the book in my hands more.' Original misses object 'it' after 'enjoy'. The phrase 'in my hands' is acceptable but 'holding the book' is more natural.

× I feel that I'm more connected and I can be focused and I can picture what the book is about it.

✓ I feel more connected, I can focus better, and I can picture what the book is about.

Redundant 'I' clauses and wrong ending 'about it'. Use 'focus' (verb) rather than 'be focused' for natural phrasing, and remove 'it' after 'about'. Combine clauses with commas and 'and' for fluency.

× While when I'm reading in in a digital way for me.

✓ While when I'm reading digitally, I don't feel the same connection.

Original is incomplete and repeats 'in'. It lacks the main clause. Provide the contrast clause 'I don't feel the same connection' to complete the sentence and use 'digitally' as adverb.

× I need to read carefully when I'm studying for my exams and study see mom qualification and therefore when I have some assessments I need to make sure that I have understood what is the topic about it and that I have the knowledge to pass the exam.

✓ I need to read carefully when I'm studying for my exams and preparing for my qualifications, so when I have assessments I must make sure I understand the topic and have the knowledge to pass the exam.

Original contains many errors: 'study see mom qualification' is unintelligible; replace with 'preparing for my qualifications'. Use 'so' to link reason and result. Use present simple 'understand' for general statements or present perfect 'have understood' if referring to completed understanding. Remove 'about it' after 'topic'. Use 'must' or 'need to' for necessity; avoid repetition of 'need'.

× I'd prefer detail reading umm, therefore I can see what is the topic about it and I can summarize what is the principal facts of the book, while when scanning I cannot have the same idea.

✓ I'd prefer detailed reading because I can see what the topic is about and can summarize the main facts of the book; when scanning, I don't get the same understanding.

Use adjective 'detailed' (not 'detail') before 'reading' or gerund 'detailed reading'. Replace 'therefore' with 'because' for reason. Use 'what the topic is about' word order; remove 'it'. Use 'main facts' or 'principal facts' but 'main' is more natural. 'Cannot have the same idea' is awkward — use 'don't get the same understanding'. Use semicolon or conjunction to connect clauses.
