Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear, concise and correct vocabulary. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid filler sounds and repetition. Also correct word choice (e.g. "reading", "science fiction", "fantasy") and grammar (complete sentences).

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I particularly like fantasy novels, such as the Harry Potter series, because they offer imaginative worlds and strong characters. For example, I enjoyed how the books combine adventure and friendship.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear preference, then explain with specific reasons and a brief example. Use correct grammar and coherent linking words (e.g. "because", "however"). Avoid awkward phrasing like "paper books prefer to lead".

Example: I prefer paper books for studying because they are easier to annotate and flip through. However, I use screens for news or articles when I need quick access and search functions.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence stating when careful reading is necessary and when it is not. Provide a specific example and correct vocabulary (e.g. "instructions", "manuals"). Avoid repetition and unclear words.

Example: I need to read carefully when I am using instructions or manuals, such as assembling furniture or setting up new electronics, because missing steps can cause errors. I don't read as carefully when browsing social media or light fiction, where details are less critical.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer (prefer detailed or scanning) and explain why with clear reasons and examples. Use linking words (e.g. "because", "so") and avoid vague phrases like "catch up the worst on". Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because I like to follow the story from beginning to end and understand all the details. Scanning is difficult for me since I often miss important information or the emotional development of the characters.

× Yes, I love leading especially my favorite books are related to, uh, selfish concentration and a fantasy, uh, narratives like Harry Potter and, umm, Harry Potter. Yeah, and the most, uh, favorite book was.

✓ Yes, I love reading, especially books related to self-discovery and fantasy narratives like Harry Potter. My favorite book was Harry Potter.

The student used 'leading' which is incorrect; the correct verb is 'reading' (verb choice error). 'Selfish concentration' is unclear and likely meant 'self-discovery' or 'personal development' so replace with 'self-discovery'. The original contained repetition and sentence fragments; combine into clear sentences and supply the missing object for 'favorite book was'. Suggestion: use precise vocabulary and complete sentences; say 'I love reading' and then specify the genres and the title.

× It depends on the situation. I think paper books prefer to lead, that's why it is easy to write down marks which I liked it.

✓ It depends on the situation. I prefer paper books because they are easier to mark up and write notes in.

The original sentence misused the subject and verb: 'paper books prefer to lead' wrongly makes books the subject who 'prefer'. The student intended to express their preference, so use 'I prefer paper books'. 'That's why it is easy to write down marks which I liked it' has redundant pronouns and awkward phrasing. Replace with 'because they are easier to mark up and write notes in.' Suggestion: make the person the subject when stating preferences and avoid redundant pronouns like 'which I liked it'.

× I think it is important to lead about how to use something. For example, if I use the new stuff like a new new fools, I should check.

✓ I think it is important to read instructions about how to use something. For example, if I use new tools, I should check them first.

The student used 'lead' instead of 'read' (incorrect verb) and 'new new fools' is likely 'new tools' (word choice). Also 'I should check' needs an object: 'check them first.' Use present simple for general truths: 'I think it is important to read instructions.' Suggestion: replace incorrect verbs with 'read' and use precise nouns like 'tools' and include objects for verbs like 'check them'.

× No, I don't think so. I prefer reading from the first to end of the book Well, so scanning is very difficult for me because uh, I have to catch up the worst on.

✓ No, I don't. I prefer reading from the beginning to the end of a book, so scanning is difficult for me because I have to catch up on what I missed.

The reply 'No, I don't think so' is acceptable but shortened to 'No, I don't' sounds more natural. 'From the first to end' is ungrammatical; use 'from the beginning to the end.' 'I have to catch up the worst on' is unclear and ungrammatical; intended meaning is 'catch up on what I missed.' Suggestion: use idiomatic expressions 'from the beginning to the end' and 'catch up on' plus an object like 'what I missed'.
