Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you like reading now, then give one brief reason and one example. Fix tense and article errors, and avoid redundancy. Use linking words (e.g., but, because) correctly.

Example: I don't read much these days. When I was younger I enjoyed books, but now I prefer watching TV and films because I have a smartphone and it’s more convenient in my free time.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and two concise, specific reasons. Correct vocabulary (version→vision; in a screen→on a screen) and grammar (turning page→turning pages; which helps). Use linking words like because and also.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it’s easier on my vision and doesn’t strain my eyes as much as screens do. I also enjoy the tactile feel and the sound of turning pages, which helps me relax.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence addressing both parts (when you read carefully and when you don't). Provide a clear reason and a brief example. Use more precise wording (plot→plot, scan through→skim).

Example: I read carefully when the material interests me or when I need to understand details, for example for study or work. If the plot seems boring or irrelevant, I usually skim the text to get the main idea rather than read every detail.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a topic sentence stating both preferences and the conditions. Fix grammar (prefer to scanning→prefer to scan; plots are very interest me→plot interests me; detail reading→read in detail). Use linking words like first, then, and if.

Example: It depends: I usually start by scanning to get the background and overall idea. If the plot interests me, then I go back and read it in detail to understand characters and events.

× Well, just so so I used to enjoy reading a lot when I was very young.

✓ Well, just so-so. I used to enjoy reading a lot when I was very young.

The original contains a run-on sentence and missing punctuation. Separate ideas with a period and hyphenate 'so-so' as a fixed expression. This improves clarity and correct sentence structure.

× However, because of the improvement in technology and I have a mobile phone, when I growing up, I prefer to watch TV shows or films in my free time instead of reading books.

✓ However, because of improvements in technology and because I have a mobile phone, when I was growing up I preferred to watch TV shows or films in my free time instead of reading books.

Multiple issues: 'improvement' should be plural 'improvements' for general change; 'and I have' is incorrect connection—use 'and because I have' or restructure; 'when I growing up' lacks auxiliary and correct tense—use 'when I was growing up'; preference in past context should be past tense 'preferred'. Correcting these addresses sentence structure and tense consistency.

× I prefer to read on paper because I know it is relatively good for my version unlike reading in a screen.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because I know it is relatively better for my vision compared with reading on a screen.

Errors: 'good for my version' is incorrect word choice—should be 'better for my vision'; 'unlike' is awkward here—use 'compared with' or 'than'; preposition with 'screen' should be 'on a screen'. These changes fix vocabulary and preposition usage.

× It will hurt my eyes and I also think I like the sound of turning page which help helps me relax.

✓ It hurts my eyes, and I also like the sound of turning pages, which helps me relax.

Tense and agreement: 'will hurt' is unnecessary future—use present 'hurts' to match general fact; 'turning page' should be plural 'turning pages'; relative clause needs singular verb agreement 'which helps'. Remove redundant 'I also think' for conciseness.

× It depends on my interest.

✓ It depends on my interest.

This sentence is acceptable as written. No correction needed; it is short but grammatically correct. Included here only to indicate it was checked.

× For example, if I read the plots and find it very boring, I usually just scan through it to see what happened instead of reading it carefully.

✓ For example, if I read the plot and find it very boring, I usually just scan through it to see what happened instead of reading it carefully.

Use 'plot' (singular) when referring to the storyline of a book; pronoun consistency: 'it' can refer to the book, which is acceptable. This fixes singular/plural agreement.

× When I first read a book I prefer to scanning the basic background.

✓ When I first read a book, I prefer to scan the basic background.

After 'prefer to' use the base form 'scan', not the -ing form 'scanning'. Also add a comma after the introductory clause for clarity.

× After I find the plots are very interest me, I would detail reading that.

✓ After I find the plot very interesting, I would read it in detail.

Multiple problems: 'plots are very interest me' is ungrammatical—use 'find the plot very interesting'; 'detail reading' is incorrect word order—use 'read it in detail' or 'do detailed reading'. This corrects adjective form and sentence structure.
