Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: state your main idea in one clear sentence, then give one specific reason with a brief example. Avoid filler sounds (uh, um) and grammatical errors (e.g., 'listen to podcasts', 'we develop').

Example: No, I'm not really into reading. I prefer listening to podcasts because I can learn while commuting; for example, I often listen to history podcasts on my way to work.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two concise reasons using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., 'strains my eyes', 'relaxes me') and avoid unnecessary hesitations.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it feels more natural and it relaxes my eyes. For instance, after long screen time at work, a paper book helps me unwind.

Suggestion: Provide a clear first sentence answering both parts, then one specific reason for each. Fix grammar ('fall asleep', 'late at night') and avoid repetition.

Example: I need to read carefully when I'm reading in a foreign language, but not when I'm skimming familiar messages. For example, I slow down for academic articles in English, whereas I quickly scan texts in my native language for key points.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer followed by a brief, specific reason and an example. Correct grammar ('I can't read', 'I'm an impulsive person') and avoid negative self-descriptions without context.

Example: I prefer scanning because I often need information quickly and get bored with long texts. For example, when researching a topic, I skim headings and the first sentences to find relevant facts.

× I prefer to listen some podcast or, uh, going out with my friends because I believe that reading is a whole, uh, practice and, uh, we are develop different methods of learning.

✓ I prefer to listen to some podcasts or go out with my friends because I believe that reading is a whole practice and we develop different methods of learning.

Uses of verbs after 'prefer' require either the infinitive or 'to' + noun; 'prefer to listen to' is correct and 'listen some podcast' needs the preposition 'to' and plural 'podcasts' for general meaning. Parallel structure requires matching forms: 'listen to ... or go out' not 'listen ... or going out'. 'We are develop' is incorrect verb form; use simple present 'we develop' to express habit. Suggestions: use 'prefer to + base verb' or 'prefer + gerund' consistently, add 'to' after 'listen', pluralize countable nouns when general, and maintain parallel verb forms.

× I prefer to read on paper because I think it's authentic and watching for several hours the screen of my computer or my phone strain my eyes and reading a book, for example, on paper. Relax, I mean.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because I think it's authentic, and watching the screen of my computer or my phone for several hours strains my eyes; reading a book on paper relaxes me, I mean.

Preposition order and sentence structure were awkward. 'Watching for several hours the screen' should be 'watching the screen ... for several hours'. Subject-verb agreement: 'screen ... strain' should be 'strains'. 'Reading a book, for example, on paper. Relax, I mean.' is fragmented; combine into 'reading a book on paper relaxes me'. Suggestions: place time/place phrases after the object, ensure subject-verb agreement, and avoid fragments by connecting clauses.

× I need to read carefully when I'm reading in a foreign language or during, uh, midnight because uh, I usually fell asleep, uh, not late and uh, also when I read in a foreign language.

✓ I need to read carefully when I'm reading in a foreign language or at midnight because I usually fall asleep if I read late, and also when I read in a foreign language.

Tense and preposition errors: 'during midnight' should be 'at midnight'. 'I usually fell asleep' uses past tense incorrectly; 'I usually fall asleep' (present habitual) is correct. 'Not late' is unclear; 'if I read late' clarifies cause. Suggestions: use 'at' with clock times and 'midnight', use simple present for habitual actions, and rephrase unclear fragments.

× I prefer scanning information because I am an impulsive individual and I can't reading detailed sentences or essays.

✓ I prefer scanning information because I am an impulsive person and I can't read detailed sentences or essays.

After modal 'can't' the base verb 'read' is required; 'can't reading' is incorrect. 'Individual' is grammatical but 'person' is more natural here. Suggestions: follow modals with the base form and choose natural collocations ('impulsive person').
