Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid filler sounds (uh), and limit to 3–4 sentences. Add one brief specific reason or example to make your answer more convincing (e.g., what you enjoyed about your favourite book). Use varied vocabulary (e.g., novels, fiction, unwind, relax).

Example: I do enjoy reading, especially fiction and storybooks. My favourite book is Bothir Pachali by Shruti Rai because the characters felt very real and the plot kept me curious until the end. Reading helps me relax and forget daily stress.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler phrases, and add one specific reason with linking words (for example, “because” or “so”). You can contrast both options briefly to show range of thought. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., tactile, immersive, strain).

Example: I prefer reading on paper because holding a book feels more tactile and immersive, so I connect better with the writer’s emotions. In contrast, screens can cause eye strain and distractions, so I usually avoid them for long reading sessions.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and make the contrast clear. Use a direct topic sentence, then add linking words (e.g., “however,” “whereas”) and a specific example of careful reading (e.g., studying formulas or instructions). Reduce fillers and keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Example: You need to read carefully when studying for an exam because you must understand facts and formulas exactly. However, when reading a novel for pleasure you can read more casually and enjoy the story without focusing on every single line.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence that states your preference depending on purpose. Use linking words (e.g., “whereas,” “if…then”) and provide a concise specific example for each mode (e.g., skimming for plot, detailed for notes). Remove fillers and keep sentences concise.

Example: I usually skim novels to follow the plot quickly, whereas I read in detail when studying for exams to take notes and understand concepts thoroughly.

× Reading uh helps me to unwind my mind.

✓ Reading helps me to unwind my mind.

The filler 'uh' interrupts the sentence but is not a grammatical element; remove it for correctness and fluency. The verb 'Reading' as a gerund correctly functions as the subject followed by 'helps'. Suggestion: avoid fillers in formal responses and keep the gerund phrase intact.

× I love to read all the story books, the fictional books.

✓ I love to read all the storybooks, especially fictional ones.

'Story books' is better written as the compound noun 'storybooks' or 'stories'. Repeating 'the fictional books' is awkward; use 'fictional ones' to refer back to 'storybooks'. Suggestion: use concise noun forms and pronouns to avoid repetition.

× My favorite book is Bothir Pachali by Shruti Rai.

✓ My favorite book is Bothir Pachali by Shruti Rai.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Included for completeness.

× I prefer to read on paper.

✓ I prefer to read on paper.

Sentence is correct; 'on paper' is the appropriate prepositional phrase. Included to show it meets the list and requires no correction.

× Whenever we read a book, uh, physically in our hands, that gives us the natural feeling of reading something and feel the emotion that is the writer is trying to express.

✓ Whenever we read a book physically in our hands, it gives us the natural feeling of reading and allows us to feel the emotion the writer is trying to express.

Use 'it' as the dummy subject to refer to the action of reading; 'feel the emotion' needs an appropriate verb 'allows us to feel' or 'helps us feel'. Remove filler 'uh' and redundant words for clarity. Suggestion: keep clauses parallel and use correct pronoun reference.

× I think so.

✓ I think so.

Sentence is correct; third person singular issue does not apply. Included for completeness.

× But on screen is not preferable to me.

✓ But reading on a screen is not preferable to me.

'On screen' needs a clearer subject; 'reading on a screen' clarifies the activity. Also 'preferable to me' is acceptable but 'I don't prefer reading on a screen' is more natural. Suggestion: make the noun phrase explicit for clarity.

× That also is harmful for our eyes.

✓ That is also harmful to our eyes.

Use 'to' with 'harmful' rather than 'for'. Place 'also' in a natural position 'is also harmful'. Suggestion: prefer 'to' after 'harmful' and position adverbs appropriately.

× If we are going through an exam, that time we need to reach carefully.

✓ If we are going through an exam, at that time we need to read carefully.

'Reach' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'read'. Use 'at that time' to express when. Keep present continuous 'are going through' if implying ongoing exam period. Suggestion: choose the correct lexical verb and proper time expression.

× But if we are enjoying just a reading, uh, storybook that time, I think we can, uh, read as usual.

✓ But if we are simply enjoying a storybook, at that time I think we can read as usual.

Remove fillers 'uh' and reorder 'simply enjoying a storybook' for natural phrasing. Use 'at that time' for clarity and keep subject consistency. Suggestion: avoid fillers and maintain smooth word order.

× That's not important to carefully read every lines.

✓ It's not necessary to carefully read every line.

Use 'it's not necessary' instead of 'that's not important' for natural expression. 'Every lines' is incorrect: 'every' requires a singular noun 'line'. Also place adverb 'carefully' before verb phrase or after 'to'. Suggestion: use 'every' with singular nouns and place adverbs correctly.

× If I'm reading any story book or novels, that time I prefer scanning because that time every line detailing is not important.

✓ If I'm reading any storybook or novel, I prefer scanning because detailed attention to every line is not important then.

Use consistent singular/plural: 'storybook or novel' or 'storybooks or novels'. 'That time' is unnatural; omit or use 'then'. 'Every line detailing' is awkward; use 'detailed attention to every line'. Suggestion: keep number agreement and use idiomatic phrases.

× But if I'm reading for uh, my study or I'm preparing for any exam, that time detailed reading is important.

✓ But if I'm reading for my studies or preparing for an exam, detailed reading is important then.

Remove filler 'uh'. Use 'studies' (noun) rather than 'study' for general activity. Use 'preparing for an exam' (no 'any' needed) and place 'then' to indicate time. Suggestion: use correct noun forms and drop unnecessary words for conciseness.
