Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise, accurate and clear. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid hesitations and incorrect book/author names, and give one or two specific examples with short reasons. Keep to 2–4 sentences and use linking words for clarity.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, mainly academic textbooks rather than fiction. For example, I read research texts on my subject because they help me stay informed, but I also finished Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends with Us, which I liked for its emotional depth.

Suggestion: Provide a clear, complete sentence and give 1–2 specific reasons. Avoid vague phrases and finish your answer. Use a linking word to add a reason.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to concentrate and I remember information better. Also, paper books are more comfortable for long reading sessions.

Suggestion: Structure the answer: give a clear topic sentence, then contrast with a linking word (e.g., 'but' or 'however') and provide concise supporting details. Avoid irrelevant fragments about other books unless they illustrate a point. Correct grammar and complete sentences.

Example: I need to read carefully for work, especially when studying research papers or technical textbooks because accuracy matters. However, for leisure I read novels more casually and take my time to enjoy the story rather than focusing on every detail.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer first (scan or detailed), then support with a concise reason and example. Remove filler words and rhetorical questions. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' for clarity.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because I like to understand ideas thoroughly and reflect on them. For example, when I read academic articles I note key arguments and make summaries to deepen my understanding.

× I have read few books of Kale Hoseny like Thousands Friended Sons and I have read the book by Gulen Hoover, uh, namely it ends with us and it starts with us.

✓ I have read a few books by Khaled Hosseini, like Thousand Splendid Suns, and I have read the books by Colleen Hoover, namely It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us.

The error involves quantifier usage and also author/title names and articles. 'Few' without an article implies almost none; use 'a few' to indicate several. Also use 'by' for authors. Correct proper names and book titles. Suggestion: use 'a few' when you mean several, and check proper nouns and title capitalization.

× There are two parts, but I have.

✓ There are two parts, but I have only read one.

The original sentence is incomplete and lacks a clear plural/singular reference and verb phrase. It should specify what the speaker has done. Suggestion: complete the sentence with the correct verb and object and ensure agreement between 'parts' and reference.

× I'm a big old school with respect to it.

✓ I'm old-school when it comes to that.

'Big old school' is unidiomatic and tense/phrase usage is awkward. 'I'm old-school' is a present-tense description and idiomatic. Suggestion: use established expressions and maintain present simple for habitual preferences.

× I prefer reading it on paper and.

✓ I prefer reading on paper.

The original ends with a conjunction and lacks a completing verb or clause, making it a sentence fragment. Remove the trailing 'and' or add the rest of the sentence. Suggestion: keep it concise: 'I prefer reading on paper.'

× I need to read carefully as my profession requires that.

✓ I need to read carefully because my profession requires it.

'As' is acceptable but 'because' is clearer here; 'requires that' is wordy. Use present simple 'requires' to describe a habitual requirement and use 'it' as the object. Suggestion: prefer 'because' and use concise pronoun reference.

× I have also read a book which has been authored by my brother.

✓ I have also read a book that was written by my brother.

Using 'has been authored' is unusual and wordy. 'Was written' or 'written' (past participle) is more natural. Suggestion: use 'written by' to indicate authorship; present perfect 'I have read' plus past participle 'written' is natural.

× The book namely Wasted. It's all the years we.

✓ The book is called Wasted. It's called All the Years We.

Sentence fragments and incorrect handling of titles. 'Namely' is misused. Provide complete sentences with 'is called' and ensure correct book titles. Suggestion: use 'is called' for naming and capitalise titles correctly.

× So uh, if I put it positively or do you think negatively or think I prefer reading in depth rather than skimming because it gives me an insight about the book actually?

✓ So, if I put it positively, I prefer reading in depth rather than skimming because it gives me better insight into the book.

The original is disfluent, contains unnecessary questions and wordiness, and has prepositional errors ('insight about' should be 'insight into'). Recast the sentence as a clear statement using present simple for habitual preference and 'insight into' for correct preposition. Suggestion: remove fillers and structure the sentence simply: subject + verb + reason.
